Yay its the weekend, its Saturday after noon, the weather is beautiful and I am stuck in bed. Unfortunately, Friday morning I awoke with a terrible spider bite on my ankle. Saturday morning my ankle was so swelled I could barely walk on it :( , I am hoping it is the first and last one this season. I googled "spider bites" and I read to keep it elevated, not to use it so much and to put an ice pack, so thats what I am doing. It seems to be working for me but, i'm not a Dr. so don't take my word for it or my advice
Over the years our large family has had to endure the spider bites, but no one as bad as my husband or 2 of our children. My husband had a terrible bite on his face, he stayed home from work for 3 days, he went to the Dr. and behold he was having an allergic reaction. My daughter (15 at the time), had a bite on her elbow that was infected, she couldn't move her arm so she too had to see the Dr., my stepson (15 at the time) had a bite on his knee, well it was summer so that was a terrible time as he could barely walk.
It is only the beginning of spring and summer so let's hope this is that last of the insect bites. Oh and I forgot to mention the mosquitos are so bad here it's prob only the first of millions of bites. YAY SUMMER
I am a mother of 8 wonderful children and devoted and loving wife to a husband that compliments me well. What gets us through our chaos is our wild sense of humour. You see my husband and I along with our 8 children have to ability to laugh at almost everything but we also know when it's tme to get serious. After 10 years of being a blended family we like to think we almost know it all and have been though most of it. We are now able to say we have gelled as a family.
