June 27 - Pull kid out of daycare because of coxsackie outbreak making its way to his classroom. Pat self on back for being proactive mother.
June 28 - Come down with soul-sucking flu, bribe child with DVDs and collapse on futon.
June 29 - Feel surprisingly better after sleeping 18 hours, go on Shop Hop 2012
June 30 - Finish shop hop, feeling good, kid still feeling fine, figure he's out of the woods
July 1 - Kid comes down with tell-tale blisters
July 2 - Diagnosis confirmed. Entire family unceremoniously dis-invited from early July 4th picnic even though child is no longer contagious. Engage in extreme self-pity while child suffers from ZERO symptoms except for scary red (but strangely not-itchy-or-painful) rash. Complete online grocery order to include comfort summer food like Klondike and freezies. Feel zero guilt.
And, scene.

OUch. The uninvite was pretty harsh.
We narrowly escaped this back in Michigan. NOT FUN.
