NOT.

Last month her son had Lyme Disease too.  Good god.

Ok, enough about that...

JDRW had a tick.  He complained that his armpit was hurting.  Of course, we just figured he was playing too rough...but then I was in the tub and he had to pee, and he was wearing footie jammies, and he says "mom, I think something bit me on my elbow", and I look and sure enough...there's a fucking tick on his back, just under his arm.  Fuck.  So Magnum gets it out, and puts it in a baggie and we'll take it to the doctor tomorrow.   I think it's been there since Sunday (having an independent kid who likes to bathe himself and dress himself has its drawbacks...who knew?) but Magnum, of course, says it coulda just got there today.  But it looks icky.  I've never seen a tick bite look so icky.  So, I'm sure JDRW will start on an antibiotic tomorrow.

Oh, and I got 100 on my math test.  Isn't THAT a little bit afuckingmazing?

And, one more whine before I go...

You have a runny nose.  That is NOT swine flu.
You have a cold.  That is NOT swine flu.
You have the flu.  That is NOT swine flu.
You have a mosquito bite.  That is NOT swine flu.
This is swine flu.

Fuck me people.
