Bird Bites

"How did Jacob get those bird bites mom," asked Dan. A bit confused it took me a moment to realize what he was talking about.

Jacob broke out in a rash all over his torso that started to spread to his arms a couple of days ago. Red, bug bite looking, itchy rash. We finally realized last night that it is probably a case of breakthrough varicella, otherwise known as chickenpox after vaccination.

"Oh, you mean the chicken pox on him?" I asked.

"Yeah, the chicken pops. Why did a chicken give him those?"

Kids say the darndest things. I had a good laugh from it too and Dan is still trying to figure out how a chicken gave Jacob those "pops". I tried to explain about viruses and snotty noses but he didn't really make the connection. Oh to see things the way a four year old does. Happy Mother's Day to all of you moms out there who take a minute or two from your lives to read about mine.

Gonorrhea Lectum

Some of you may have already seen this CDC release. I just thought it was very important information and wanted to help spread the word.

CDC Release

Information regarding Gonorrhea Lectem

The Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectem. It’s pronounced “Gonna re-elect ‘em.”

The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008…but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is.

It’s sad because Gonorrhea Lectem is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don’t engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it.

Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts, with many more seeing the writing on the wall.

All I Want For Christmas

Dear Santa:

I know it is only May and I am a little bit early. But I figured you might need some time to work on this one. All I really want for Christmas is a magic house that cleans itself, does it's own laundry and dishes, cooks it's own meals, and magically cleans up after the slobs I live with.

Really, I think 8 months is plenty of time for you to make this happen.

Much love,
Chris
