Not the day that I had planned

Today didn't turn out how I had planned. Anthony was getting ready to pull up the old floor. I was getting Tara & me ready to go to the town plant sale. My Dad was coming up to visit. I started to brush her hair, to pull it back in a ponytale. I noticed a huge lump on the back of her neck. I knew something was wrong & that it might be a tick. They're suppose to be really bad this year. So I called her doc office. Almost an hr later they called back & said they would explain how to pull it out. I somehow talked the receptionist into letting us come in. The doc ended up pulling it out & showing me how to do it, if it happens again. She got a lollypop & we took her out to Dairy queen. She did really good at the doc office. We have to keep an eye on it & make sure we don't start seeing a rash & if we see a bullseye looking thing, then it could be Lyme disease. She had a wood tick, not a deer tick in her. In the pic below, that big bump is the ticks body. We thought it was her skin swelled up.

We ended up at the plant sale @ 11:45 (it started @ 10) & I still got some stuff. Basil, oregano, parsley, tomatoes & 2 types of peppers.
