jaysaint Getting it all down on paper…

This made me laugh.

Thursday, two days from now, the social worker is coming to do our home visit.

At the moment the apartment is in shambles, but we’ll get it shiny-perfect by the time we go to bed Wednesday night (I hope).

I’m nervous, but not losing-it nervous. It seems like a lot of the parents going through this step are in hysterics. Perhaps I’m overconfident. But I like our social worker and I don’t think she’s looking for ways to deny us.

Still, I’ll feel much better when it’s over. Until it’s time to get the report. At which point I’ll be likely even more anxious than I am now.

Any suggestions on what kind of snacks to feed her?

I’m having some sort of itchy issue. Two evenings ago my neck started feeling hivey and my skin was hot. Two nights in a row I’ve had to take Bendaryl to sleep. I wake up bleary in the morning, am fine during the day and am uncomfortable again by nighttime. I predict I will take another Benadryl shortly. I don’t know if that’s short-circuiting an allergic reaction of some sort or if it’s just knocking me out. Either way, mission accomlished.

Tonight the itchiness has spread to the lower part of my cheeks and my chin. Damon looked at me a few hours ago and said that my face looks swollen.

I haven’t changed detergents, soap, perfume or anything else. I’m not allergic to any foods, and I haven’t eaten anything out of the ordinary anyway.

What I want to know is: What gives?
