3/10/09 Off to the peds office this morning

I am not sure if it is anything to be worried about or not, so I could just be blowing $25 at the pediatrician’s office but I would rather be safe than sorry. Yesterday before Caden went to bed he complained of a bug bite on his chin. I thought that was all it was, so I sent him to bed, but then he woke up this morning and it looks awful. About the size of a quarter, scabby and red around the edges. So, I called the dr. this morning to have it looked at just to make sure it isn’t a spider bite. We do have black widows and more specifically, brown recluse spiders in the area. I have never seen one of their bites, so I don’t know if it is that or not, and all the pictures I seem to be finding on the web are of severe bites (ewww). He did have cavities filled yesterday in that area so I am wondering if it is related to that somehow..like maybe he was rubbing that area in his sleep or something.

Yesterday was atrocious food wise..I am not sure what my problem was but I could not stop eating. And then I went to my Relay for Life meeting and was surrounded by all these skinny moms…bleh. But still, it is for a good cause, and having had several family members diagnosed (or die) because of one form or another, it is one I truly believe in. Last year our team raise $7000 and this year we are shooting for $7500. I raised my goal from $100 to $150..I hope I can make it! I am horrible about asking people for things so this is a real stretch for me.

Today after I get home from the ped’s office (appt is at 10:30) I am going to clean the living room and work on the kids room. If it is a spider bite I want to make sure they are taken care of!

I have also decided that every day I am going to set a goal for the day re: healthy living. Today my goal is to get my 8 glasses of water in. I can’t even remember the last time I drank water, and as dry as my skin is I am sure that is why! So, I am off to get the youngest dressed, if I can keep clothes on her this morning, and start my day :) Have a great day my fellow chickies!
