Poison Ivy And A Baseball Game

Last week as I was trimming the bushes I apparently came across some poison ivy.  Now I'm suffering because of it.  It's been spreading all over.  I tried Caladryl and some other stuff but it wasn't working.  Now I'm trying the baking soda mixed with water method.  Tonight I'd like to soak in an oatmeal bath.  I'm hoping something helps.  When I was younger I remember my grandma used Witch Hazel for everything and it always miraculously worked.  I came across that suggestion as I was looking up different remedies.  I can't believe I forgot about good ol' Witch Hazel ... and I'm glad we have some in the bathroom cabinet.  I'm trying all I can to get rid of this.  Caladryl used to work like a charm for me. 

I know I already shared this picture of my son and husband at their last baseball game but I wanted to talk about it. 

 

 The kids on the team are 5 - 7 years old and they are good.  I mean, really good.  Rob played ball as a kid and coached his nephew's team.  He always wanted to coach his son's team and now he has that chance and seems to be enjoying it.  I love watching him coach the team and I love watching my son try his hardest at the game.  He still needs a lot of help but he's getting better.  It's so much fun to watch.  Brianna, at only two years of age, knows how to hold a bat and swing so who knows, maybe she's our future softball player.   I love watching these kids grow and learn.
