My knee
Do you remember that knee I hurt? Now I think it is infected. It is all red and inflamed and full of pus* and hurts as bad as when I fell and is hot to the touch. It is red in areas that were uninjured. This is really gross, but in church, the puss started leaking out from under the bandage, and slowly soaked through my pant leg. I hope it washes out because my other pair of maternity pants have grass and blood stains on them from falling. That leaves me with nothing but my husband's sweats, which I'm wearing right now.
Triple anti-biotic ointment isn't helping.
My sweet children have been helping with housework. While the average visitor may not be able to tell any housework has actually been done, they are the reason that it is at least safe to walk through the house. And there is a limit to what an 8, 3 and 1 year old can do.
Bug (the one year old) toddles around behind the others, wash cloth in hand, copying everything they do. She really likes doing dishes, but hasn't gotten the left-right progression down, yet. This means that if I'm not paying attention, the dishes from the drainer will all end up back in the sink to be washed. She drags the broom around, too, trying to sweep. But now that we have a new dustpan and a hand broom, my children actually argue about whose turn it is to sweep.
Two more chores they love: washing anything. When is it not great fun to walk around the house with a bowl of soapy water? This includes window washing and mopping. And then there is dusting. I put old socks on everybody's hands and they walk around dusting everything they can reach.
*In case anyone happened in here earlier, before I noticed that HSB apparently has some feature censoring certain words and that that particular word appears to be on the list even though there certainly is nothing wrong with it in the context used, I DID NOT CURSE in this entry. Actually, I don't do that in entries at all. But I didn't like the appearance that I had for some reason, so the entry is now duly edited. |

Praying that your knee gets better soon ~ cellulitis is icky to treat and sometimes requires intravenous antibiotics.
