Wake up call

Here it is 2:38 am and Danica is watching Little Bear on Nick Jr.  Quality parenting right.  I told her she could watch one show after she took her medicines, she was begging anyways.  So now she is half sleeping, half watching and sipping her beloved "miky".  She is once again covered in PMLE rash despite our best efforts to protect her.  She was wearing sun protective clothing, SPF 110 *yes they make such a thing!* and playing in a very shaded backyard, all after 4pm.  So now what... can she just not go outside?  Im seriously confused and it looks like yet again she will miss school and we will be at the dermatologist office.  (primarily to get a refill on meds and to ask why she is sooo sensitive and to see what else we should be doing... unfortunately once they start to get the rash it just has to run its course, usually about a week)

Tomorrow *today really* is field day at school and the last day of school as well.  She was really looking forward to getting a snow cone and playing one last time with her friends.  But on the up side she has a class at the YMCA tomorrow and Im babysitting one of her friends so I guess we will have to make due.  We've also got to drag her out to get her labs done... something I tried previously to do but was asked to leave since she threw such a huge fit!  Im positive it will take both Jake and I to hold her down... not that blood work really hurts but she has NO tolerance for pain and a major fear of needles.

Its going to be a LONG summer with NO sun... we are very open to suggestions on what to do with two children who cannot enjoy the great outdoors... I guess its time to stock up on playdough, rice bins with sand toys and all the other things we used to do to pass the time in South Texas...   Oh and the play date we are hosting on Tuesday... well... can we all just meet at McDonalds by the mall instead?!?  LOL!  we will have to cancel... unless your boys want to come over and play with Barbie and her super cool house!
