damn hadn't thought of that

my youngest daughter came home and she greeted me with a kiss. sweet huh?

Well my eye is itching like I've been around cats -- turns out she had shrimp for lunch.

i'm allergic to fish ... just the little kiss was enough to start triggering an allergic reaction ... of course it took a bit.

I know my dogs food has a high content of fish ... so when she eats I have to wait quite awhile before she can lick me -- but this is the first time I've gotten a reaction from a quick peck on the cheek.

If I take benedryl for the reaction I will be passed out when hubby gets home with that yummy KFC tonight (I've had a craving all day) .... and it will hit me for the majority of tomorrow too -- i have a really wierd reaction to it ... its been known to knock me out for a full 48 hours off a normal dose, so I have to take the kid dosage.

I know we had taken the kids out for dinner once (thanks to hubby's boss who picked up the tab) and my daughter ordered shrimp ... she was sitting next to me and we had to make her sit as far as she could from me during dinner -- did you know waitresses really hate it when people move around after getting their food?

hopefully this will pass soon without a lot of side effects. i want my kids to be able to eat what they serve at school without having to make them stay away from me for several hours while it runs its course. but if this keeps up, I may have to ask that they not get shrimp.
