The Chicken Pox Part Two

I know I just posted but even I was blushing with the 'me me' attitude of that number (I swear Tyra Banks took over my body!) so I feel I must share something with a bit more substance....
The pox are back! The pox are back! Two weeks ago girl #2 came down with the chicken pox--not a bad case, she basically had 40 spots and felt fine. Now girl #1, the only one of my kids who actually got the chicken pox vax, has had a fever for three days, stomach pains, head aches, throat pain and about 10 spots and counting. Boy #1 is now sitting on my lap, cuddling and he feels warm. He has 5 spots on his stomach and 6 on his back. Boy #2 is being fussy but still no signs....
So it appears I will be home this week, catching up on blogs, finding new ones and oh loving on these spotty babies!
The weird thing is I am not panicked. A sneeze or cough sends me into a tizzy and the sight of a runny nose makes me gag. And yet I am surrounded by one of the most contagious things in the world and I don't care. Oh, girl #1 just found another spot--off to get the calamine.
have a terrific Tuesday!

I'm hoping and praying your kids all have as mild of a case as possible! I voted for you today! Good luck!

Hi, Lisa!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving me a comment, I LOVE receiving comments from someone new!

I'm sorry to hear all your kiddos have the chicken pox, that just stinks! (although, better that they all get it at one time, then you're done with it for good) I'm sure you've got your hands full! My son's got that vaccine, too, and both got the chicken pox anyway. I guess they became infected within a few weeks of the vaccine, and it hadn't taken full effect yet. They did both have very minor cases though, I think my oldest only had 9 or 10 spots and my younger son only had like five.

So, your bio page says you live in Dallas, huh? My sister lives in a suburb of Dallas, too! She lives in Keller, have you heard of it? I think it's near a larger town called Grapevine.

I hope things go as well as they can for you all, and everyone is feeling better soon! Take care!

So, obviously my prayers didn't work, so shall I try again? ;)

Oh boy.

But really, chickenpox? Other than the itchy scratchy of it all, it's not bad. And hey, Blog reading!
