Shingles Suck...

I apologize if you're offended by my title, but it's the nicest thing I could say about it.

Ron has shingles. It's DISGUSTING. He has blisters all over the left side of his head, and they are in and around his eyes. The poor guy is completely miserable, and I can't even put the medicine on without hurting him.

He goes to the opthamologist today because the doctor that diagnosed him with shingles saw a lesion, so it has to be monitored. He is less than thrilled with seeing another doctor, but we aren't messing around with his eyesight. These lesions can cause permanent eye problems, including blindness.

If you're so inclined, please say a prayer for him. He's in so much pain, and he's worried about his eyesight. Thanks.

SS Blog Challenge #30

What is your favorite color and why?

My favorite color is GREEN. It's a really silly reason, but I've always liked green because I was born on St. Patrick's Day. I chose green as my favorite color when I was young and just kind of stuck with it all these years.

Are you Full of Yourself?

Nar·cis·sism: inordinate fascination with oneself; excessive self-love; vanity.

Tell me, folks, are YOU narcissistic?

Would a narcissist admit it if they were? I don't know.

Regardless, click this link to take a quiz and see if you are narcissistic.

2nd Verse, Same as the 1st

Day 2 was as cruddy as day 1 in kindergarten today.

That's about all I have to say about that. :(

I can't wait to see what everyone has to "say"

School's In Session!!!

Today was the kids' first day of school. Jacob entered the school for his first day of 2nd grade proudly with a wave to Dad, and Clarissa entered the school for her first day of kindergarten with great trepidation...and squeezing on to my hand so tight. She did not want to go in there today. I know she's fine already - she was fine two minutes after walking in the school. But for those few minutes we stood outside waiting, I saw her scared side. She doesn't often let anyone see her that vulnerable. Today she didn't care. She didn't cry - but came very close. I'm sure when she comes home today, she will be smiling with excitement.

Here are some shots I took at home before we left.
