Hold the barbecue sauce

So, I blogged yesterday that I thought A had chickenpox based on the spots I had found on her shoulder, hands, feet, etc.  When I first saw them, I thought that they looked like ant bites.  I started thinking chickenpox after not being able to comprehend how she could have gotten ant bites without leaving her room.  Pictures on the internet never help when confirming a false diagnosis.  The fact that she got more spots throughout the day again confirmed to me chickenpox.  I am such an idiot.  When getting her ready for bed last night I noticed ants in her room and I started looking around.  She had a whole bunch in her room and had been getting bit every time she'd been in there since we put her to bed the night before last.  I feel terrible and wish I could take all her bites and put them on me instead.  I can't believe I didn't just check to make sure there weren't ants when I thought that her spots looked like bites.

Sorry to worry you about her. I feel like the world's worst mommy.  I am glad that it isn't chickenpox though!
