Just letting everyone know I may not be around for a while. My son has contracted Herpangina. I know! It sounds like a mutated STD doesn't it? I almost fell off my chair when the doctor told me what he had. Turns out it's just a fancy way of saying my three year old has a really high fever and a mouth full of puss filled blisters.
It supposed to last for a week. It can't be treated with antibiotics. Needless to say, this will most likely be my last post for a while. (Unless the husband is sitting with the sick child....)

Ten Things I've Figured Out
- I'm not any cooler now than I was when I was 13.
- Having a lot of books is like having a lot of televison channels...It makes it harder to choose.
- My son's smile will always make me feel better.
- Even if the memories aren't all good ones, having them is a really special thing.
- I am always going to be a terrible housekeeper
- My daughter is growing up, even if I don't want her to.
- My dog loves me more than anyone else in the house.
- My husband really is that much of a kid at heart.
- No matter how hard I try to pretend, I still hate eating my vegetables!
- You can never have to many kinds of lotion or to many flavors of lipgloss.

Aww that sucks! Glad it's nothing [too] serious, though. I hope he feels better soon, and good luck taking care of the little one.
Oh wow! That sounds horrid! Poor little guy...I hate it when kids are sick; it always makes me feel so helpless when I can't just kiss the pain away. I hope he gets better very soon!

Sending wishes for a quick recovery your way. Poor kiddo!
What a strange and unfortunately named malady, indeed.
Good luck- do popsicles help?
They come up with names for everything.
I hope he gets better soon!
Okay, at least it's a cool name, right? One the requires an explanation? At playgroups you can be all, "Yeah, well, we're cooler than you because my kid had HERPANGINA." And then, see, none of the other mommies can top that, so you WIN.
And, well, I hope he gets better soon, poor kid.
