Gaga For Lulu

The Big Guy picks up the ringing phone…

“Mr J, this is the school nurse. I have K, aka The Boss, here in the office”

The Big Guy is rolling his eyes, “Is she okay?”

“Yes, she had a substitute teacher today and she sent her to my office because she was itchy”

“Does she have a rash?”

“No, she informed her sub teacher that she has mites”

Hahahahahah,heeheehehhehehehehehheeeeeeeeeee! (you get my drift)

“She said that her daddy told her that the itchies are mites that are under her skin”

At this point The Big Guy passes me the phone. I explain that when we go to the beach the sand fleas bother her, and her daddy has always called them mites. I proceeded to explain that we usually just give her Benedryl and lotion and that she is a bit overdramatic. “We don’t have mites, mange, scabies or any other willies. Her skin is dry from the chlorine and sun”.

Thank goodness the nurese has a sense of humor and knows me all too well. I swear that child visits the nurse every week. “I sent her back to class and told the sub that she just has dry skin”.

So, I can see it now. Monday will come and the school will get 3 phonecalls from parents insisting that someone had mites in school and the classroom has to be fumigated. Oh well, she could have picked other things to share with her sub that she has heard from daddy at home…. haha! I guess bugs under the skin isn’t that bad.

We are back from the beach in a wirl wind! We got back on Wednesday evening just in time for the Boss’ swim team’s practice and to unload 3 suitcases and umpteen toys. Of course, the pool was finally ready in our own backyard, only $500 in chemicals, but that is another story, so The Tribe had to take a dip. Bedtime came and went and the alarm went of at a very early 5 AM. I headed to poopy paradise for my weekly fun.

So, now itis Friday AM and M3 graduates from preschool. I am sitting here thinking about the gift I have to go get the teacher by 9 AM and the 24 cupcakes I need to obviously purchase at this time, I am such good planner, LOL! Then we have her birthday party tomorrow, she is finally 5! I forgot to order a cake, so I will be attempting to make a jungle theme cake for the bouncie party that I am sure will be rained out by the horrible storms we are suppose to get tomorrow afternoon since it is a smoldering 95 degrees on June 1st. You gotta love Maryland!

There’s my life in a nutshell. I am such a procastinator sometimes. Hopefully The Tribe didn’t inheret that gene from me, altough The Big Guy isn’t much better, haha. I hope everyone has a great Friday!
