E for empty. Totally running on empty today and its only 10.
Was awoken last night by my husband who has, what me and WebMD have diagnosed as, heat rash. Apperently, heat rash feels like prickly, stinging, annoyance on your body. He was in so much pain he was up till 3:30 am, then finally woke me up to help. I sat there on my iPad trying to figure out the best method of treatment for the extremely accurate diagnosis. First was an oatmeal bath. As easy as it sounds, its quite tedious to concoct. That took about a good 45 minutes to only find out it had zero effect.
So while WebMD and I went back to the drawing boards, we put him under the fan because you gotta keep your body cool with heat rash apparently. Next I raided the medicine box. Yes, a box…I don’t have a medicine cabinet. My bathrooms are not cool like that. I found some hydrocortizone cream that WebMD suggested and we slathered that on him and returned him to his seat under the fan. About 20 more minutes and still no relief. Then tried Gold Bond powder and that just was one too much. The burning got intense. Now its almost 5 am. He’s got to be at work by 8:30 and I have a spit fire baby that will be waking up just before that. So we said fuck it and he took some infant Benadryl. Yes, infant. It was all I had in the house and he was desperate to get some shut eye.
So now its 10 am, and he’s still up stairs sleeping and my disheveled, blood-shot-eyed ass is sitting on the couch half dead, watching my almost 11 month old run around the living room, destroying everything in sight.
All I want is some infant Benadryl. For the love of God someone please give me some infant Benadryl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
