Shannon's Page July 13, 2011: I wish somebody would invent_!

I wish that somebody would invent a foolproof way to de-tick a wiggly five year old. Don't get me wrong. I am proud that her little nude frame tenses and proclaims, "I am brave and this REALLY doesn't hurt too BAHHHHHH..." But truthfully, I feel like an inadequate surgeon and it can't be sterile to have my nervous sweat periodically dripping down onto the affected area.

If only. If only I could dial up a cure and get that bacteria ridden rebel to let his clutches loose from my mini-me. If only I could get this process completed without so much stress, confusion and fatigue.

Shannon, first of all your five year old sounds absolutely adorable and hilarious! Hmm, my creative mind is working here, and the only thing that is randomly coming to my mind is a story like pied piper... too bad you can't play a little flute and have those little ticks march their way out. If only things were that easy...
