Off We Go!

So, we're getting ready to fly to Utah today for the weekend and I'm feeling really bad about going- Whitney came down with the ugly virus that's going around is pretty sure she's going to die or at least come really close! This picture is of when she got her wisdom teeth out, but it pretty much sums up how she feels and looks. When we were at the doctor yesterday she was sitting in a chair and he looked over at her and realized she was starting to faint so he made me get off the table (more later on why I was there) so she could lay down- pretty sad. So I'm leaving my physically sick child home to visit my emotionally bankrupt child- okay maybe that's extreme about Lizzy, but I couldn't resist. AND Chelsea called last night and she's overwhelmed with school and work and needs her closets cleaned and everyone knows it is the one thing in my life I am truly amazing at- having clean closets- that I feel bad not going there. AND Mandy is big and pregnant and could use some packing help and what am I doing? Running off to play with their dad for the weekend- oh and go to Gaye's son's wedding!

SO, about my trip to the doctor too- I've had these bites all over my body for the last week or so that are starting to meld into a rash kinda thing. It's pretty itchy, not to mention annoying so Lynn made an appointment for me to see Dr. B when Whit did- he knew I never would. So, turns out they might be flea bites but no animals in the house currently have fleas so I'm pretty sure I have the horrible purple rash my friend Karen had a couple of years ago. It was the most awful rash I've ever seen- it kinda looked like that flesh eating thing- and I've seen my share of rashes having four children! This is her and I on our trip to the South Pacific when we ran away and left our families. These were some young men that tried to convince us to stay and live with them in a grass hut on the beach, but in the end our guilt called us back. She survived the purple rash, I hope I do too!!
