Here A Tick, There A Tick, Everywhere A Tick, Tick

Well we have been back from camping for a couple of days now. I did not write sooner, because of thr fact I was, and still am completely exhausted. Camping is supposed to be R&R, but for some reason I am just wiped out. Tom was wiped out as well. Maybe, because I am pregnant and the fact that we went on a super long hike may have something to do with it. Tom was hangingout cuddleing with Gaelen and noticed a bump at the base of his skull. Turns out it was a FUCKING TICK! What the hell? Tom pulled off the tick right away, and extinguished all life out of the dirty little bastard. How dare it try to eat my son! He is almost three years old for christs sake! Hehehehe.... Anyway Tom crushed it, and it had no blood in its body so we think that it had not been attached for long at all. It did come with a piece of Gaelen's skin though. To top it off the Mensen's daughter wound up getting poison ivy....My legs got eaten alive by natures favorite vampire (the mosquito). I counted today, and there are about 25-30 below my knee on each leg. We had fun though, and I look forward to camping again soon! Except maybe....when people decide to tell scary stories....I just freak myself out alot. Nothing like a nice scary story to get the blood pumping.
