I hate mosquitoes.<\/p>\n

I’ve been allergic to them since I was a kid. They sting me. I swell. It itches. I hate it. It sucks.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

I’ve been giving her benadryl as needed for the itching. Its slowly getting better.<\/p>\n

Its weird though. I’d never wished until now that a mosquito would bite ME instead. I hate to see her suffer.<\/p>\n

Speaking of bloodsuckers…<\/p>\n

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.
\nI do have to say that the thing with Alice totally threw me for a loop. Didn’t see that coming.<\/p>\n

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

Read it if you haven’t. Read them all.<\/p>\n

I hear I need to read The Host next!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
