...OMG!...

i wasn't kidding when i blogged about the abundance of ticks up here in the boonies. STEVE JUST PULLED A TICK OFF MY HEAD.  i'm definitely weirded out. seriously, i cannot believe between the two of us we've had THREE ticks in the last 2 weeks. 

ultimately, we probably won't die, but i will admit that i have been reading about all sorts of diseases that can be contracted from a tick bite.

here are just a few:
southern tick-associated rash illness
tick-borne relapsing fever

so, if you don't see any blogs posted here in the next few weeks, you'll know why. be sure to call 911 please...

Palmetto bugs or ticks. Pick your poison.

UUUGGGHHHH!!! We found a tick on Ryan about a month ago. I was FREAKING out!! I scooped him up and took him directly to his father. Jason didnt think it was any big deal. But I was ready to go to the dr. Such a city girl!!!!
