Apparently Avery is getting THE CHICKEN POX. Oh hurray! Joy of joys. *sigh*

His psychiatrist apt was tomorrow and I gave the woman a hard time about trying to reschedule it. Ha ha! Only to call back an hour later with the news..."I think my son Avery has the chicken pox so I'll be rescheduling the apt at a later time."

He's got about 10 on his face, 10 on his torso, 5 on his legs and one on his butt. I imagine this will be different tomorrow. The natural holistic book that I have suggests to wash all the bedding daily. I have no washing machine and need to do this at the laundromat. Tres inconvenient. I drove the kids over to the washing center (within walking distance but I challenge any of you to walk a 4 yr old and a 1.5 year old while holding two full baskets of dirty clothes!), then drove around until it was done washing. The wash is currently in the dryers but hell if I know how I'm going to get it home...

I could put the kids in the car again and drive over to the within walking distance place, lock the car with them in it and rip all the clothes out of the dryer. I could run over there while they are in the apartment and occupied. It will probably take a total of 10 minutes round trip. Oh and I forgot to mention its thundering and getting ready for the skies to unload all the water that has been making horrible humidity in the 90+ degree temps we are experiencing here.

Am I bitching? Hell no (although it might seem like I am). This is the actual internal dialog that runs through my head when I'm making these oh-so-important-life-changing decisions. Now, seriously, if I didn't play my cards right these could be life changing, but I have a feeling no matter what I decide it will go without a hitch. After all, its only laundry.

I have a lot more on my mind but I'm not going to extend this post any longer. I'm most likely going to be quarantined until the weekend with one sick child and one probably going to be even sicker. It seems that the second child to get the pox gets them twice as bad as the first. Yay.
