...because this little playmobile girl is ready for the apocalypse. I'm telling you, the way that the kids put their toys together really cracks me up sometimes.
Anyhow, I just wanted to take a minute and thank all you lovely readers who left kind comments after yesterday's post and even sent me personal e-mails to tell me that everything will be ok. I really appreciate you letting me know that you've been through it too, and that we'll get used to the allergies, and in time may stop seeing them as a challenge and start viewing them as a blessing. You are so wise, dear readers, so wise. And so compassionate. Many of you had great advice and suggestions. And really, just the empathy with which you sent out your kind words was such a tonic to my heart. I thank you all, and value the fact that when you sit down at your computers, you take a moment to come here and check in on our little corner of the world, and, when events warrant, to leave a little comment of support. You've really made a difference in my day, and that is more than I ever hoped for when I started writing this little blog. So thank you.
Hopefully in a few years there will be a way to treat allergies. Google 'parasites for allergies' to see an interesting theory being researched.

The Specialty Food Shop at Sick Kids has free delivery anywhere in Ontario (and if you order something frozen, they pack it with dry ice in a styrofoam cooler -- $10 extra if you're outside Ontario but no charge in Ontario).

...and I wanted to say, that I am POSITIVE your kid will have the best cupcakes and treats EVER at any birthday party he attends, which will make all the other kids drool with envy, if they are prepared by you. I also predict you will be the author of an anti-allergy cookbook at some point in your future that will bring you much fame and fortune. xxx
