I decide the other day to pull some weeds out of a neglected flower bed and wouldnt ya know it, mixed in with all the other weeds was poison ivy. I didnt know what poison ivy looks like. I dont think I have ever gotten in to it before. This morning woke up and my left eye is almost swollen shut, Im itching like crazy, and I look like a freak covered in the pink stuff. I cant believe this. of course my darling husband just shakes his head and laughs. not nice. not funny. its in between my fingers too. It ITCHES!!!!. I was supposed to go somewhere today too. Im not going anywhere looking like this. :smt009 Well, Those flower beds can look like the amazon from now on and im not going anywhere near them. My boys helped me a little but luckily they didnt touch any of it. no rashes on them. Thats it. Im sticking to sweeping, no more outside labor for me. I have a good reason right? right.!

:smt009 So sorry to hear of your good intentions gone wrong. My son use to break out just by looking at poison ivy. Have your hubby pick up some Tecnu for you. It's an over the counter for poison ivy and is a big big help. Don't Scratch!

Benydryl is your best friend right now my scratchy friend. Just remember, if it has five leaves it's happy and it's like a hand waving at you. If it has four-------watch out.

fearsgirlBenydryl is your best friend right now my scratchy friend. Just remember said:
omg. :smt005 you crack me up. I needed it too. Im a scratching fool. I know im not supposed to but ahhhhh, it feels so good to scratch. Im doing the benadryl but only take half a dose cause it makes me tired. Cant sleep with a five yr old running around the house. :smt018 I have looked online a pictures of poison ivy and im telling ya I could go out in the yard right now and not be able to point it out. It all looks like weeds to me. so, just to be safe im staying away from anything leafy and green. unless its in a salad. :smt001

Well, I can tell you from experience (long car trips) it couldn't hurt to give the 5 year old the other half of the benydryl!!!!!!!!!! No no no, I'm just kidding. From now on just have a "cabana boy" come over and do the yard work. You can have an icy beverage while you watch him work!!!!!! :smt112
