Summer vacation is full swing here! We’ve made it through one full week of summer bliss. Well, actually it was a tad chilly here most of the week, so most of the outdoor things they had been dreaming of weren’t quite as enticing, but they still had fun. Chloe’s summer list is so funny. She has very specific things she wants to do this summer, some of which include: make ice cream sandwiches, have 100 sleepovers, go shorts shopping, watch 3 movies outside. 🙂
One of my summer goals is to learn how to play tennis (and by “play” I mean volley the ball to each other nicely back and forth). We have a tennis court down the street so we resurrected our rackets and bought some new tennis balls. We played 3 different days this week, to varying success… and we’ve already lost 5 balls. I know. FIVE. Sheesh! But I do have 4 kids all playing with the balls at the same time, so some are bound to go missing. But we are getting better. It’s going to take a while before we can actually hit it back and forth more than just once or twice, but I’m having a good time.
In other random news, I seem to have a rash on my hands again… that is acting a lot like my beloved friend, PUPPS again. It’s so strange! And no. A resounding NO, I am not pregnant. This happened to me once before, do you remember? I just looked back in my old posts, and I apparently had to go into Urgent Care to have it looked at about 2 years ago. I did go in to a minute clinic this weekend and she coudn’t figure it out. And 2 years, they couldn’t tell me what it was either! So… I have a very itchy random rash on my hands, that I’m hoping goes away soon. I tell you, if this is PUPPS, I must be like the .0000005% of women to suffer with it while NOT being pregnant! Crazy. So, now I wait. Hopefully it will run its course quickly.
I might have said this before, but I had 5ths disease in High School and I remember after it went away it would resurface on the front of my thighs when I would run really hard. My theory (probably quite far fetched) is that I have some of the PUPPS virus just sitting dormant in me and I’ve stirred it up by losing weight. That’s probably not how the body works, but I’m going with that explanation to make me feel better. 😉
Tune back in tomorrow for some pictures! Don’t worry, it will be of the kids, not of my PUPPS. Haha!
That is frustrating about your rash. You must have gotten that tendency from Dad, because he will get random rashes, too. Sometimes he gets poison ivy, of course, but sometimes, just an itchy rash that runs its course and goes away.
