Nothing like a woodland creature
attacking your child to get your blood flowing on a Monday morning. Okay that
sounds like an exaggeration but let me share the story and you can be the
judge.
It was a typical Monday morning, I got
Ali off to school, the girls had their breakfast and they were ready to hit the
hay for their morning nap. Everything was going smoothly when I saw Kendall
had, what only can be described as a “piece of crap” on the back of her neck.
It looked like a mole or a piece of chocolate. I tried to rub it off and
nothing happened. Then I was thinking, “What the hell is this thing?” I noticed
it almost peeled to one side like scab, but it wasn’t red or bleeding. I was
very confused and wanted this garbage off my baby. Kendall wasn’t hurt, she was just
annoyed her mother was messing around with the back of her neck. I finally
squeezed it off. When I looked hard at this crap I pulled off her neck I saw
that it hand tiny legs - it was a tick – I panicked.
