{{{{{{AAAHHHHHH}}}}}}}

I AM SO ANNOYED.
FRUSTRATED. 
GOING out of my MIND. TRYING to figure out HOW a 2 year allergy free streak suddenly flares up again.{{after 6 years of looking like this except my eyes were constantly bloodshot.}}
WHAT I did different. I {didn't}.could mean one company changing one ingredient in the one product.
I HATE it.
I feel like a freak.
I HURT
its burning/ itchy/ puffy/ BURNING!!! and gets so swollen there is a crease line the pricks like its on fire..
I know there are so many worse things but I'm just completely frustrated.
I'm going on vacation in a bit and have to get this taken care of.I can't FIGURE IT OUT!!!!!!
SO if you see me thats why I look like this the last couple of weeks just in case you were wondering the folds in my eyelid are the swollen ouchness.me sans makeup.i am brave see...
I know you just jumped back from the screen didn't you.....lol
But I am thankful for this little dude look how big he is getting and he said "mom yesterday in front of about 20 little kids at our roots of empathy session in a gr four classroom
HE
made. my
melt.
I just love this boy!!!!
--------------------------
Since I missed thankful Thursday.....
Lots to be thankful for that's for sure 
it could always be worse just looking around right!!!
thankful a girls night out grocery shopping with my spunky little five year old  last night...
while the boys had pizza and watched the hockey game....{loving the Olympics!}
thankful for life lots to be learned isn't there.
even when you don't feel good.
even when trials come.
even when the earth is shaking beneath you.
no matter how trivial or big they are. To each person its different
tolerance is a good thing.  
keeping your judgments to yourself is a good thing.
check these out....HERE and HERE and  HERE 
{{{{{{because I needed a good laugh and so do you lol}}}}.
......AND most of all because you never know till you're walking in another 's shoes.
{and Christine D. thanks for making my day. seriously its been a rough week.}
------------------------
Have a good weekend....
going here soon.... can't wait!!!I need it! just to sit by a pool and read a book and feel the sun will be awesome! I just need these eyes to get better!!!
in the mean time
for me.and whoever else needs a reminder.

Oh Christal...you poor girl! That looks so darn sore. I feel for you. Hope you get it figured out SOON! Your little guy is so darn cute. Don't they grow up so fast!!

I'm sorry you're feeling so awful! I really hope that you can figure out what's causing it soon. Take it easy and have a fun VACATION!!!

Jill said...

Christal-you'll get it figured out! I feel your pain a little bit, if it makes you feel any better my eyes lots of times feel itchy/dry with contacts or with glasses and I can't do anything about it but grin and bear it, oh and I can't see anything without either! If you got it figured out once you can again!

Mindi said...

Ew, no fun! I hope it clears up for ya soon! Yes, I agree that we need to keep our opinions to ourselves, BUT, on the other hand, I gotta say, sometimes things need to be said, and it's how the other person takes that comment that can make the difference. Some people just get offended easily to certain things, but we all can't just zip our lips and hope to not offend anyone, otherwise we'd never learn from it! Okay, that's my 2 cents (only cause I say stuff alot, and some people get offended, and some dont!)

Holly said...

Oh Christal, darn it. I had to laugh as soon as I saw your post title, (no not because of your pics) I am feeling very sorry for you... and throwing a little pitty party for the both of us! lol. It's exactly how I'm feeling this week.... {{{{{{AHHHHHHH}}}}}}}} lol. Infertility and period problems here though. Let's celebrate together and do something fun just for ourselves! Have any good ideas? Let me know! :) Sure love you!!! :)

Kim said...

That's so sad Christal! I'm sensitive to makeup, but nothing like what you get. That's so sad. I took some time to catch up on your blog today...your kids are so cute!! And getting so big! These little babies just grow up way too fast. :)

Lynn said...

Oh Christal....you DO know exactly how my daughter Candi feels. That's exactly what she looks and feels like when she gets her flare ups. How frustrating and painful. I am SO sorry you are going through this again. Those darn companies who keep changing their products all in the name of "improving them". Sheesh! Has anyone heard the quote "If it ain't broke...don't fix it!"

Hugs! I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I know it will all be figured out soon. In the meantime, I hope the iced eye gel patches help you, as they do others.

I am tickled pink to hear that K2 is now talking. What a sweetie.

P.S. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new song Fireflies on your blog. It's on my nieces' wedding photographers web site and I just kept going there just to hear that song.........now I will just go to your blog. LOL!.

Jill said...

OH MY GOSH. Christal, that looks horrible. I have allergies too and when my eyes itch I want to DIE. But they have never been remotely that bad. I am soooooooo sorry!! Definitely warrants the ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! I hope you get better soon!!!

DJ said...

Christal I am SO sorry! I hate that you have this very frustrating irritating all consuming problem. I hope you can pinpoint the culprit VERY soon and get back to normal again. If there is anything I can do, do CALL me. I feel for you! Love you lots! DJ

Just Rhonda said...

wow that looks painful!!!! Ouchies!

whitney said...

C I am dying for you right now! Missed you today. Hope you can get things figured out soon. Call if you need anything - I'll try to answer the phone this time!

Sharalee said...

Oh man, that is brutal!! Maybe you are going to have to go without make-up for a while. I hope you get it figured out soon!!

Alison said...

Oh Christal! So sorry for you! You poor thing! Please know my thoughts and prayers and being sent your way! Hope you can figure it all out and that you have a nice vacation. Happy Monday to you! Hugs!

Amy said...

Aww, you poor girl I hope you get it all figured out a.s.a.p. I love your "brave" picture, good for you! So, where is this elusive vacation spot? Arizona? Can't tell from the photo.
I love that you got a photo of K2's puke all over your chest haha, you're a dedicated blogger.

Lorraine said...

Sorry I'm lurking on your blog. I find it really inspirational and fun. My eyes get like that in the spring and fall because I'm allergic to trees and grasses. They sure do burn eh! hope it goes away soon. Oh I'm andrea salmon's mom. I love visiting with your mom at the store.

Christine Dallimore said...

OOOOh NOOOOO- Christal, I am so sorry that you have had an allergic reaction. That is just a horrible, horrible feeling. I sometimes break out in hives for no reason and I don't know the cause and THAT like you said is so frusturating. I hope, I hope they get better soon. Oh they just look like they hurt. Take care of yourself and when your eyes are healed go do something nice for yourself...you deserve it! :o)
