Rough Couple of Weeks

Yeah, so I haven't been posting.
Why?
Well, I've been reeeeaaaallllly busy.
I've been subbing in Pre-K:

Yes, they're totally cute and busy.
These are busy people.
Well, Pre-K ends at 3:00.
I see them off then run to the camp office:

I was asked to work in the camp office until the end of school.
I LOVE camp so I was glad to help out.
I get to give tours, interview counselors, sign people up.
It's a busy place.
The next day, back to Pre-K:

Did I mention these are busy little people?
How can 13 little people go in 144 directions??
Well, then back to the camp office:

So I'm back and forth for a week and a half
and now something on my back hurts:

Odd, nothing there, but it really hurts, like a bite or something.
So yeah we have Pre-K and camp and don't forget
baseball. Dylan had a school game, away and I'm chaperone:

Dylan is having a catch. The other kid throws him the ball, and just
as he does, Dylan sneezes. Now who can sneeze with their eyes open?

Yup, hits him right smack in the eye.

His eye is ok and his nose is not broken. Thank God.

Ok, back to Pre-K:

Man, they are busy and they never stop, how can 4 year olds
move around and yell so much and why does my back still feel like
someone is poking me with matches! It hurts!

Get home, now my back itches, let me take a look:

What the heck is THAT?
Go to doctor.
Guess what:

I thought only old people get shingles. I won't be old until August.
Doc asks me if I've been under any stress lately.
HA!

Ow. It's really painful.

I've had shingles.YUCK! there is only one person in the world I'd wish it on... So sorry you got them!

Lorie said...

Oh, no! I'm so sorry you have shingles...I've not heard positive things about it. Hope you are on the road to recovery soon!

Here is my prescription for either you or the kids: SEDATIVES. Either way, you should be able to make it through the day.

My sister had shingles and I understand they are not nice. Good luck!

FYI I did pick up some peaches on the way back and they are the most sour peaches I have ever eatern. Sorely disappointed!

Oh my goodness! I am so sorry to hear you have shingles, I haven't been there but hear it bites. Very glad to hear Dylan is ok and help him make up a cool story about his black eye other than the sneeze. I am glad to see your pictures back:) Feel better!
