A Plague On Both Your Houses!

Okay, well just on this one house, but that's not what Shakespeare wrote...

Saturday we went to the park and I noticed that Aaron had a bald spot on his head. Yes, a bald spot. His said it itched and we figured it was probably...dum dum dum...ringworm. I'll wait while you scratch.

We were able to get him into the doctor on Sunday and they confirmed it was in fact ringworm. Again, please scratch.

So now he has a cream that we have to put on him twice a day and he has an awesome bald spot. Wonderful.

Then yesterday I get a call from the school nurse that Jill's eye is swollen. What the what? Don't get me started on the school nurse....but that's a story for another time.

Anyway, Scott picked up Jill and he noticed the stye.

We have been using a warm compress and the gel the doctor gave us, but like any stye it gets worse before it gets better.

Yup, that was her this morning. My poor baby.

Oh, did I mention we are taking our Christmas card photos this weekend? Of course we are....

Thanksgiving Thursday

For those of you that don't know what Thanksgiving Thursday is, it is the one time during the week where you stop and basically count your blessings. Even if you've had one of those weeks, I promise you can find at least one thing to be thankful for, no matter how big or small.

This week I am thankful for:

• Scott taking on the role of male nurse again while I was sick and he was getting over his own version of the plague.

• Aaron keeping us laughing during the whole thing.

• Jill not getting the plague (knock on wood, fingers/eyes/legs/toes crossed).

• A smooth drop off at Religious Education this week. Scott said they basically just looked at him and said "bye!". When did they grow up?!

• Finally being able to stomach something other than dry toast or dry Cheerios. That gets old after a while.

• Mimi and Paw Paw who took the kiddos for us on Tuesday while Scott got over the last of his illness and I slept off the majority of my illness. No lie, in 48 hours I think I slept 44.
  

• An afternoon at Sea World with the kiddos before I got sick. We had a great time seeing the whales, penguins and a show we had never seen before.
  

• A visionary like Steve Jobs, seriously, the man was a genius and without him who knows where technology would be. You shall be missed.

What are you thankful for this week?
