Bugs!

Since the start of the summer Rachel has had an issue with bugs.  She's never been a big fan of bugs but was not the type to screech or run if they landed on her.  That has now changed, and for good reason.  We start the summer off with Rachel getting bit on the butt by a tick.  According to her it bit her there because she has a big butt.  Next, and throughout the summer, was the mosquitos.  Those things love her, and of course she is allergic to them and develops these enormous welts when she gets even the smallest of bites.  Then we had the infamous swarm of wasps.  Bit 5 times the poor thing.  This past weekend was out latest incident.  She left her shoes outside, crocs to be specific.  Allen went out and got them she proceeded to put one on.  There's a rock in my shoe she announced and lifted up her foot.  It was sticking out of the hole, stange looking rock I said and went to grab it and it slithered back inside.  It was a slug.  She screamed so loud she could have broken glass.  Just once I'd like a ladybug to land on her or a butterfly to flutter around her head.  No she gets slugs in her shoes and we wonder why she now hates bugs.
