Allergies: Now the gift that keep's on giving
When Spring is in the air a little bit a dread comes over me as I know what I am in for over the next few months.
Sneezing, a perpetually blocked nose and itchy eyes is what I have to look forward to over that 3 month period.
However, I have discovered that a lack of smell however has proven to have some advantages.

The parenting task that couples will happily argue over who did it last is most certainly who changes the diaper. Especially after their little bundle of joy starts on solids and the odor uncompromisingly multiples.
Sure sitting around with the boys, watching the game on the big screen, drinking beer, eating nachos and bean dip...things can get pretty funky. But nothing can prepare you for what something so tiny can conjure up. If you weren’t so over come by the order, you would almost take a moment to reflect on the brewing power of a baby’s internal organs.
The one thing in my favor (and that of more than 35 million Americans) is that every spring allergies prevent me from smelling anything....a toxic job just got a lot easier!
SO I use this terrible affliction (it really does suck) to my advantage and create a positive spin. By taking on this job during the Spring I am able to clock up some serious brownie points with Amanda...to be redeemed at my discretion.
“Honey the boys are coming over for poker tonight”
“Sure, no problem” she replies.
“Baby, do you mind watching the little one? The game is on”
“My pleasure darling” is her response.
So obviously there are some clear benefits of taking on the tough jobs.
For all those that are stuck with their sense of smell during spring all I can tell you is to hold you breath and think happy thoughts.
