And Here They Are!

1. I saw ring worm for the first time at the swimming pool. If you had ring worm would you go to a public swmimming pool? Seriously, who does that? The only thing I can figure is the lady didn't know they had it. Who knows. All I know is that we high tailed it out of there as soon as I realized what it was. NASTY!!! I know the chlorine kills it but not the surface places that it touches. It made me itch just saying the name but luckily none of us got it. WHEW!!
2. Claire had gone swimming for a long time and the life jacket had rubbed her armpits raw. She was miserable so I put 3 bandiads in her armpits to help with the friction. After I took the bandaids off a few days later she was bright red in any spot the adhesive had touched. It looked horrible and drove her nuts. Poor girl.
3. There are, believe it or not, 5 holes on my bedroom door and 3 on the other. 8 holes!!! I wonder what each story is behind them, although I probably don't want to know! Man does it scream white trash though!
4. The cat lady wanted to know what size of bra to get...okay not really. She asked me if I wanted a cat. Um...Absolutely not. I told her we can't have them.
Although maybe I should have brought Cali the little kitten. :) She would have loved that but I don't know that Emily would have been very happy with me! ;)

It was fun reading all your comments. Loved the ones about the cat lady asking for a bra.
Good times.

EAR UPDATE:
I went to the ENT yesterday and guess what? My hearing improved 20 decibals in my right ear (was at 30) and 10 decibals in the left (it was 15)!!!! I am so excited. The doctor hadn't been super optomostic about getting much improvement but there you have it! Wahoo!

Don't you dare bring us a cat Leah! If I can resist Cali's begging, pleading, and yes, even her prayers for another kitty, so can you!

Poor Clair. I am glad no one got ring worm, and not just because it would have spread to my kids, but because it is nasty. Carol and I were a little surprised you knew what a swinger was, or did Zeb help you out on that?
Love you guys
Josh

Leah said...

I have to laugh. I am totally kidding about bringing Cali a kitten. I do know she would love me for life but I could NEVER do that to you...anyone for that matter! ;)
And yes Josh I actually did know what a swinger is. At least I think I do. Hmmm. Anyway, I do know that to others that see me and Zeb and ryan walk in or Zeb and me and Brittany walk in it looks interesting I'm sure! :)

Fun stuff! I'm glad to hear your hearing is better! I hope tubes will restore B's hearing in the one ear! I'm worried it's permanently damaged! Can't wait to hear more of your adventures!!!!!

Is Claire allergic to latex or to the adhesive? The same thing happens to me and I am allergic to latex.
Gross about the ring worm.

Oh nasty! Ringworm! Nasty. Thank HEAVEN none of you got it. That is foul. I hate when I itch and Claire must have been losing her mind. I'm cracking up at your cat lady stories. Love you. Give the girls a kiss from their Auntie Stephanie

Classics. Treasured memoreis while in school. Just think, you can tell the grandkids someday...
I secretly wish you'd live there a few more weeks, just so I could crack up at your posts. Selfish me!Can't wait to see you in person soon. So gald about the hearing, although I am a little dissapointed, I have been learning sign language for your next visit!
