Houston... We have a PEANUT ALLERGY

Let me just start by saying that this is all the Karma coming back to me... Allow me to explain. Every year since my kids were in school they've had at least one person in their classrooms who has an allergy to peanuts. A large sign graces the doorway, lunches are segregated and we must be VERY cautious about what we bring during parties... I would say to myself (and ONLY in my head of course) Really?? is it that big of a deal?? This seems like a lot of work and a bit hypochondriac-ish to me... BUT, turns out, it's a big deal (or at least it can be)
So, it has been confirmed that Nick, is in fact, allergic to those little tiny things which aren't actually a nut, but a legume... who knew?! I should have known earlier when he would detest anything having any peanuts in them, peanut butter, or anything of the like... even peanut butter cookies, but I didn't catch on... until he started reacting to them of course... So after all the tests and a blood test, we are now owners of the Epi-pen...
Karma I tell you ♥ Oh and STRONGLY (even stronger than the peanuts) to CATS!! which I did already know but now it's "official" YAY such a score for me, since I don't want pets. Now between Nick and Jack, that is not a possibility... YAAAAAAAAAAY!!
