I hate mosquitoes.

I’ve been allergic to them since I was a kid. They sting me. I swell. It itches. I hate it. It sucks.

Sadly, my sweet little daughter inherited my tempting blood – and gets them just as bad as I do (maybe worse). A few nights ago a mosquito got her while she slept. The next morning her eye was swollen shut. It took another 24 hours before you could see the heads… 3 mosquito bites on her eyelid.

This picture was more than 24 hours after the bites. Her eye had just started to open up. When I did her hair that first morning she looked in the mirror and then told me that she wanted her eye to open like the other one. Sad.

I’ve been giving her benadryl as needed for the itching. Its slowly getting better.

Its weird though. I’d never wished until now that a mosquito would bite ME instead. I hate to see her suffer.

Speaking of bloodsuckers…

I finally finished the 4th Twilight book, Breaking Dawn! It was pretty good…. but it did take me a bit longer to finish than the others did.
I do have to say that the thing with Alice totally threw me for a loop. Didn’t see that coming.

Can’t wait for the movie! I hear its been moved up to November 21st!
I hope they make more movies based on the other books too. I’d love to see Reneseme on screen.

Read it if you haven’t. Read them all.

I hear I need to read The Host next!
