Isaiah...

I was so excited yesterday for all my plans I had today, tomorrow and Friday. Stuff planned.....appts, church, lunch date with a friend, babysitter for the kids....yadda yadda yadda. And what would happen? Why, Isaiah wakes up with, Chicken Pox, of all things!!! I'm trying to hold in my frustration. Look at the bright side of things-- it's better he gets it now than when he's older. And we might as well get it done and over with. But still! C'mon! Soooo.....off I went this morning, sending emails and texts to cancel my plans for the next several days. (yea, I'm not so much of a phone person - I'd much rather email. I know I know-- it's so impersonal)

Anyways, got a little off track.........back to Isaiah.......At first when I saw him, my initial thought was- he's got chicken pox! But then, I started second guessing myself, and wondering if it's an allergy of some kind, or a rash or hives. I looked up chicken pox on google. Have you ever done that? There are some pretty nasty pictures on there. Thankfully Isaiah doesn't look that bad- yet. He's been itching off and on all day, but he really doesn't act like it bothers him a whole lot. And he's been playing and acting fine otherwise.

I talked to the nurse on the phone, and she wasn't a whole lot of help. I just wanted to clarify that it is, indeed, chicken pox. The way she described, and what he looks like, sounds the same. And a friend of mine came over and looked at it. Her son has had hives a few times, so we wanted to rule that out. She doesn't think it looks like hives. Her guess is, it's chicken pox.

So.......with Jer gone this week, looks like the kids and I will be holed up in the house for a few days. :( I hate that. I get stir crazy if I'm stuck in the house. Sometimes I just put the kids in the car and drive around a bit- just to get out.

Well.......better go. Just wanted to give you all an update on what's going on over here in our neck of the woods!
