The Tick That Wasn't There...

Okay, I thought I would share this with all of you...I know you can picture it...

So, Saturday I felt something on the back of my head. It was a bump and I instantly thought it was a tick. Why? Well, Cailean got a deer last weekend and he said it had deer ticks on it, so I thought the ticks got a ride on Cody and came into the house and found me. I tried to get Ian to look at it, but he refused. I forgot about it when we were at mom's, so Saturday night I was trying to find the bump with a mirror, but I have sooo much hair and my mirror wasn't all that great. It was rather difficult. I didn't get much sleep because I was soooooo paranoid. Sunday morning I call mom's cell phone at 7:30am. It's off. I called about 10 times in the next 30 minutes and still off. ARGH. I call the house phone (hoping I wouldn't wake up my grandparents) and let it ring twice. Mom noticed caller ID and called me back. Cha-ching! I tell her about the bump and how I thought it was a tick. I had Ian look at it and he described it to me. Oh and I emailed Aunt Sandi and she couldn't focus at work and agreed to go see mom and I even told her what Ian said. hahaha So, I get the kids in the car (after Gavin threw a 30 minute fit because he wanted chocolate pudding for breakfast - yea, right!) and off to mom's we go. This is about 8:15am now and it's raining. We go in and she and Mimi are at the dining room table. I sit down and I point to the bump (mind you my mom was already on the web looking up ticks just in case). Basically, I didn't need to go over there. It wasn't a tick! LOL LOL LOL So, back in the car we go and head to the Kirk (called Aunt Sandi on the way to tell her all was good!). We were 15 minutes late for church and we sit in the back pew next to Cathy, the Associate Pastor. She looks at me, shows a big sigh like, "good...you're here...now relax!" I write her a note about the tick and she started laughing!!!!!!

That's my story...
