So I came home from my Mom's Sunday without any kids. My plan, clean the house. I'm still working on that. The living room does look really nice but that's about it. I had new plans added to the mix Monday and I've been a bit obsessed with them. I'm flying to Seattle Friday morning! I'll get there about 3pm and Jeremy will be picking me up from the airport. We're gonna spend time in Seattle checking things out since neither of us have ever been. Then, very exciting, on Saturday we are going to a smaller town between Seattle and Canada to meet one of my internet friends for lunch! I can't wait to meet Tara, Ken and there boys. We meet in a pregnancy group when I was pregnant with Alissa and she was pregnant with her first baby Kevin. We have been friends now for 5 years and finally get to meet in person. Very cool, hu?!
I will fly back home on Monday and then go back to my Mom's on Tuesday so I will be there with the kids for the 4th. Then we're coming home and hopefully we can have a little down time before sports start back up.
On a totally unrelated topic Alissa had a staph infection in her leg a couple of weeks ago. I kept forgetting to mention it. I'm guessing it started as a mosquito bite and when she scratched it became infected. I put neosporian on it for several days thinking maybe it was a sticker or that she was allergic to mosquito's. It would always look better in the morning but was swollen and red by bedtime so on the third day I made her a Dr. appt. for the next day. When she woke up the next morning it was so swollen it hurt her to walk on that leg and it had a huge puss filled head. I decided not to mess with it myself and let the Dr be the mean one. Of course, the thing popped about 2 hours before we went to the Dr so I kept it covered as it oozed gross stuff. So anyway the Dr squeezed all sorts of gross stuff out of my poor babies leg. Alissa was such a big girl though and tried really hard not to cry. Now 2 weeks. $70 worth of antibiotics, cream and liquid, and lots of begging to get Alissa to take the gross medi she is all healed up. I chose to mention it because it is actually a first in my mothering life. I've never dealt with this before. I actually had never considered the fact that one of my kids could get such a horrible infection from scratching a mosquito bite. I'm so glad we're past that. I'll defiantly be more vigilant about my kids washing there hands now too.
