I can't think of anything exciting to say, so I won't. But I'll tell you a lot of boring, mom stuff.
First off we have ants. I hate ants. It is times like this, that I have to ask myself, "Am I a gross person?" I say no. But then I remember the time we had maggots....That was caused by rotting cheese in the trash can by the way. Probably shouldn't have shared that.
So Don bought these little ant traps you stick places, and the ants supposedly come in, eat some delicious, poisonous food, and then take it back to kill their colony...and da da da...THE QUEEN!!!!! Ya, what a joke. Those ants are smart little suckers. They just walk right on by. I acutally heard one say, "dumb humans!"
And then there is Chloe.
So last friday she had a fever.
Saturday. She had a fever.
We decide to take her into the pool to cool her off. We neglect to put any sunscreen on her.
Then she has a fever, and a sunburn, therefore an even higher fever.
Sunday I think she is feeling better, until she throws up all over me at church.
And then...yes, she still has a fever.
Monday I take her in to the doctor, he spends 30 seconds in there and says, "She has an ear infection." We get her started on some bacteria killer. (maybe this works on ants too?)
Tuesday-I take her to a water play area to distract her from her ear, and hoping to avoid the whole sunburn fiasco again, I slather her in sunblock.
She breaks out in a rash. Must be allergic to sunblock.
Wednesday. Rash is spreading to places I did not put sunblock. Hmm. Sherlock says, maybe it wasn't the sunblock, maybe it was the medicine.
Back to the doctor.
Doctor says: Not an allergic reaction to the medicine or sunblock, just a coincidence she broke out in a rash same time you started her on meds, and sunblock. She actually has Roseolla.
"Roseolla?" I say. That sounds delcious, does it come with cheese?
Actually, it is a virus, known to cause rashes, fevers and ear aches.
Mystery Solved!
I hope.
P.S. Question. So I took Chloe to this awesome water play area with all these refreshing water features, and what does she want to do? Play on the hot stairs and chase pigeons. Why?

What a horrible, awful, no good, very bad week! That is the saddest story I have heard in a long time. (And yet you made me laugh!) Poor little Chloe. I hope she is feeling better now, and you are recuperating from a baby with the sickies!
Maddie does the same thing--when we went to a water park she hated the sprinklers but loved the mud puddle. Go figure.
justin had roseolla too!
Melissa! When are you coming to Utah? Soon I hope. I would bug Bryce to go to Arizona...but I hear it's so hot down there you could fry an egg on a manhole cover.
Oh yes, roseolla is best with a little bleu cheese and some breaded maggots! Looks like you got the ingredients covered!
Oh no! After talking to you I wouldn't have thought this would happen! I just keep hearing our "deaf" voices together in sync and launghing! Get better soon Chloe!
Hmmmmm, Roseola, seems like a month ago i panicked when her horrible rash popped up all over at 8pm and i wouldn't let her sleep because I was sure It was a food reaction to something new that i gave her that day or the cat she played with or.........
Well the dr at after hours care assured us she had roseola and was no longer contagious once the rash appeared. Great that makes me feel much better now! Just one of those days
