Popcle?

Lucas has impetigo. It's a contagious skin infection that is only cured with antibiotics. Lucas is horrible at taking antibiotics, and medicine in general. You would think that his Mom the pharmacist would have a magic, painless and cry-free method to give him antibiotics. But there is no such thing. Nothing I have tried yet anyway. He is a smart cookie and can tell when his popsicles/freezies have been tampered with. He's too young to take bribes, and doesn't understand when I say "If you take this you can have a popsicle?" All he hears is "Blah blah blah blah POPSICLE?" And then all I hear is "'Popcle? Popcle? Popcle?

Oh did I mention that he is also getting molars? From the looks/sounds of it those things hurt. Good times over here at the Fusco house. I shouldn't complain about minor illnesses like impetigo and teething. What if he was really sick and had to get needles all the time??? Or (heaven forbid) chemo???? How do those kids do it??? How do their parents do it????

Fall is coming, or autumn if you prefer. Fall means back to school (not for me, wahoooo!!!) and new clothes (not for me.....booooo) and Huskie soccer season, and maple cupcakes and pumpkin cupcakes and cute sweaters and scarves and pretty leaves, and warm coffees, and chili and stew. I heart you, fall.
