Saturday was a rough day for me, I had big plans to get stuff done around the house and guess what? Not very many of those plans happened! Why you ask? I was not a functioning person. My allergies were horrible, like they haven't been this bad in years. Granted I can only take Benadryl or Tylenol to handle them and they are not touching it!
It's one thing to just not be able to sleep, but another thing to not be able to sleep because you cannot breathe! I found myself on the couch Saturday morning because I didn't want to wake up M with my constant blowing of my nose, sniffles and sneezes. Needless to to say I had multiple naps in between attempts to get stuff done! Luckily M was able to cut the grass, deep clean the stove and help me put away laundry. I had a nice long shower to try to decongest and off to bed I went early.
Sunday we were supposed to head down to the lake for 2 days, however the weather was just crummy and overcast. So after I slept in after getting up every hour and a half throughout the night, I was ready for productive day! We tackled the baby's room. It's kind of become a drop zone for baby hand me downs anyways. But we sat up there coming up with a game plan and floor plan and then started emptying her out!
So we went down to the lake for dinner and a visit, just as it finished storming there! We didn't bother staying over because I didn't want to keep everyone up with my allergies. I wouldn't have had anywhere to escape to blow my nose, etc. without out waking anyone else up.
Monday we continued with the cleaning out the room upstairs, taking the queen bed down, reconfiguring my sewing room, did laundry, made apple crisp and enjoyed dinner with my Dad who ended up staying down for an extra night.
So just as our weekend went to my allergies, we attempted to make the best of it around the house! We also made a to-do list which I will post later this week!
Hopefully everyone else had a great long weekend!

My allergies have been terrible too! I slept maybe a grand total of three hours last night. I can breathe today, but I'm still foggy and miserable. It definitely isn't fun!
Yuck!! Hope you feel better soon! Not fun. J gets bad allergies. But glad you got some progress on the room!! ;)
BOO! Mine are acting up too. Not being able to take any good meds while pregnant is the pits! :( You should ask your OB about taking a sleeping pill {+ Benadryl} before bed {I forget the name!} and see if that gives you any relief. Sorry your weekend didn't go as planned!
Sorry Lady! I hope you feel better sooN!!
Oh no- the allergies sound awful :( I couldn't even imagine. I've heard the netipot can be helpful but you have probably tried that already.
So sorry your allergies are so bad! :-( I take Zyrtec daily, and the doctor told me that I could continue taking it as long as it wasn't the decongestant version.
Ah that stinks about your allergies :( hopefully they go away or get better soon!
Sorry to hear that your allergies got in the way of your time at the lake :(
