She-who-is-six is now she-who-is-sick.  She was complaining on Wednesday of not feeling good but when I asked her what was wrong she just said that her feet hurt and that it hurt to walk.  I questioned her more and figured out that she was having body aches but when I searched for the source of the problem…nothing.  Yesterday she had a big day, cool outing, and she came home and asked if she could take a nap.  Uh Oh!  When she got up…. mystery solved.

I now sit home entertaining a child who has a sore throat, the worst breath imaginable, an occasional fever, a sand paper rash and moans continuously because of the body aches.  Hello, scarlet fever!

Antibiotics and motrin are our friend.  Hoping she-who-is-sick goes back to just being she-who-is-six very soon.
