It's Not Strep

So I have had an on again off again battle with a sore throat over the last 10 days.  It started with me feeling crappy over the weekend, got better during the week, and then came back Sunday.  Then Chloe started coughing and I thought her throat was probably bothering her too.  So this morning I found out my friend's daughter has strep.  Oh no.  The thoughts came pouring in.....do I have it?  Does Chloe?  Did we pass it to her?  So I called the doctor and they didn't have any afternoon appointments so I made one for tomorrow at 10.  After talking with Brandon, I went to the Minute Clinic at CVS.  She looked in our throats and said that it looked like drainage/not strep.  She did the strep test and it was negative.  She is sending it to be tested to make sure but as for now, we are good.  Chloe is taking Claritin(doesn't like it) and I am taking a prescription medicine.

Over the weekend, we used some of Brandon's Marriott hotel points and spent the night at Stone Mountain Park.  It was really nice.  Brandon finally got to see Ashlyn really swim.  We did the duck boat ride, played in the barn, and went to the plantation.  They have goats, sheep, and pigs there.  Chloe was scared but thought one was the little billy goat gruff.  She didn't say anything while we were there, but talked about it at home nonstop.

Awhile back my cousin and his wife got the kids a cotton candy maker.  We have now perfected the art of making cotton candy.  Guess who loves it the most?
