Did you ever notice children don't seem to be bothered by illness unless they are running a fever over 102 degrees? What takes adults 24-72 hours to get through doesn't seem to phase the kiddos for even five minutes. I got up early this morning and went to go get the donuts with sprinkles we had promised Mary Ella (and baby #3) last night, picked up Starbucks for the hubby and myself, then returned home thinking...."isn't life great????" Addy had just started talking in her bed when I walked in the door, so I went to get her. There she was smiling with dried vomit all over her and her bed and her left eye almost completely swelled shut courtesy of a monster island mosquito. Scott and I can't hardly guilt ourselves over this one because not even a peep came from her room last night, BUT you can't help but feel bad she had slept in that for who knows how long. Now that I've had two daughters who have done this, surely this can't be too abnormal, right??? Do I have to forfeit the "mother of the year award" again???

Oh, that's just too purty for words! Be comforted, my friend. Somehow they all do it.
Can you NOT WAIT to get away from those awful mosquitos??? Ugh. I do not miss them one little bit.
