Hang in there Heather!
It's gotta get better sometime! I can't rememer the name of the product, but what helped my kids when they got Chicken Pox was this "oatmeal" like pouder that we put in the bath. Maybe somebody else knows the excact name, but it it helped a lot!! Maybe you can find it by you. Good luck with everything else. Remember, you have to take care of yourself first, otherwise you won't be able to take care of those precious kids (and cats) of yours! And remember, your in my thoughts!
