rash
actually it looks like chicken pox. the little monkey woke up yesterday with a rash of pox and was sent home from preschool. my sister wouldn’t take him either but my mom would…and let him watch TV all day! (no, mom, that’s NOT ok, he could have stayed home and watched videos). and of course his daycare provider won’t take him either so here i am, trying to read research papers and prepare a final exam and conferences with students; i have 9 papers more to read today and 7 hours of conferences from 3-10pm tonight, and almost 3 hours of conferences tomorrow and as many papers…
a pox on all of us really even though we don’t have a rash; i was up most of the night with him. i have a strong painful memories of the horrors of chicken pox, and then getting teased by the kids about the pox marks; i have a scar on my face by my eye to this day.
because i remember how horrible it was, and remember thrashing around, and feeling desperate and alone, i made up a special bed for us to snuggle and sleep on last night so at least the big monkey could get some shut-eye with out being kicked by an anguished child.
i also remember how aveeno baths help with my bouts of poison oak and these are helping him too. the worst of the rash is in his genital area, poor guy, probably because he still needs diapers at night…
this too we will get through but if you have any suggestions, bring em on! we’re all ears over here in art predator land…
