Tick Bites

Tomorrow we will have been at Nana's house for two weeks. As always we create quite the hurricane as we enter! Her house is always so neat and tidy and then our four kids blow in and laugh and squeal and pull out all of "Nana's toys" and before you know it the whole place is a diaster area with my mother and me running around cleaning up every 45 minutes just to stay on top of everything. Add to that the sheer amount of food to feed us and the clothes piled in front of the washer and dryer... whew! Fortunately my parents always seem super excited to see us and we do have a fantastic time here and are well loved and cared for... but quiet and unobtrusive we are not! Especially right now, when all of our "stuff" from Uganda and our previous life in Durham (stored for 10 years) is also all over the place as we begin to organize and pack up for our upcoming move back to our home in Durham. Wahoo!!! It'll be a busy next week or two as we get everything together.
To add to my personal medical history, I discovered that one of my numerous tick bites has developed a concerning rash (bull's eye like). Add that to the fierce headache I had all day two days ago and so now I am being treated for both Lyme's disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. I'll post a picture if the rash gets more impressive.
