Hi all,
It's been awhile since I posted - hard to believe, but I've been on
maintenance for 7 months now, and of course I'm in the middle of
wasp season now.

I think my kids (12 and 4) are more scared of the bugs than I am,
though neither are allergic. It didn't help that they helped take
me to the hospital when I had the reaction!

I *try* to be calm and cool around them - to not allow them to rule
my life. I also avoid them to some extent. There's a wildflower
patch near where we park one of our cars, and one day we saw 40 or
50 of the buggers buzzing around. Needless to say, we don't go and
frolic in the flowers! But.... I can't get over being wary. I
guess, once you've had a reaction, you never quite look at them the
same again. They used to be no more than a nuisance - now they
are... a respected enemy.

Sigh...
