The Soccer Player's Very Bad Day

When Wonderful Husband and I got back from our DC trip yesterday, Grandma told us that The Soccer Player had just thrown up. And, it continued for most of the day. The poor thing was puking up all the nasty pollen phlegm and snot she has been dealing with for the past few weeks. Around 4:00 she started feeling better and back to her old self. She joined us for dinner, and we thought everything was fine. But, no. When she was walking into the shower last night, Wonderful Husband noticed a huge tick on her back. After plenty of freaking out and checking the Internet and calling friends to figure out what to do, we finally were able to get it off of her. (Needless to say, all of us were scratching and checking ourselves the rest of the night.)

She is back at school today, and we are hopeful that she will actually be able to make her soccer game on Saturday. She has had to miss 2 this year because of her allergies.

I am thinking of just covering her in plastic for the entire month of April in the future. Or maybe giving her a mask like those Chinese people always wear every time there is a breakout of something.
