falling.


the mums are blooming. the leaves are starting to turn. the sky is that beautiful deep blue that i only seem to see in santa fe. it's beginning to look a lot like fall around these parts.

we started out on a good note. after an evening of the yuckies at our house, everyone felt well. little one was up and dressed in her new twirly dress early. ready to go to church. it was a normal sunday. church. coffee. football. playing outside. we even planned on going on a bike ride. because. well. more on that note later.


but then. i was working. watching a little football. little one. came inside. sat down on my lap. i could tell she wasn't feeling to right. i just happened to touch her calf.

huge bump. rock hard. boiling hot. deep, red-ish purple. clearly she had been bitten by something. and something not good. dh and i decided we should take her to urgent care. i mean these things that spiders can do are not nice. not nice at all. so. after three plus hours. at urgent care. we left. bite. infection. immediate antibotics. watch for drainage. ick. ick. ick.

you'd never know that was what was under these cute tights at her ankle. so we watch. we keep asking her how it feels. it hurts. it started to ooze. so we'll be off to the dr. poor kid. such a beautiful day. why can't those darn spiders just leave us alone?
