whirlwind

It has been a whirlwind around here since Ben's birthday.  After catching a nasty stomache bug, trying to get my room set up BEFORE school started, and now trying to get back into the swing of things with school starting and new curriculum....... any chance of a freak snowstorm in September? or maybe some fog, that would help out! We also found out in the beginning of what is going to look to be many allergy appointments.. That I am 100% NOT allergic to bees!  WhooHoo!  It is like a weight that I have been carrying for the last 10+ years? has been lifted. AFter being stung back in high school, we assumed that I was allergic and have had the epipen since.  In 2007? I had testing done to see if I indeed was or not and was told that I was deathly allergic.  SO that added onto the already present worrying about being stung....  I very hesitantly agreed to skin testing (the last office refused to do skin testing for bees)  and the results were negative across the board.  I expressed my concern--why would the blood test be so postiive and the skin not?   So looking back into my file the last allergist told me taht I was deathly allergic and he wanted me to start bee shots (thank God I didn't)  The new office looked back in my file and told me that the blood work results were NEGATIVE.   Makes me totally question Ben's allergies, but that we won't know until March....  SO the weight of worrying about being stung and dying everytime the bees were around.... is now GONE and I love it.   In addition to all of that I THINK (*knock on wood* )  that we are full swing into potty training (again)   Ben has been asking to use potty, going on his own, wearing big boy underwear.... he's getting there.  maybe by Thanksgiving we will be able to say we are thankful to be done with diapers/pullups etc....??? Not too much going on here besides that.  Just trying to get caught up on the house, and staying on top of school this year so I don't get too far behind....  Tim has been coaching football and that is making for a long Fall... but he enjoys it and I get some Ben and Mommy time.
