BEWARE OF ANTS!!

Well, do I have a story to tell!!! So....Brian started golf camp this past monday (sooo cute BTW!). anyway, they practice out at an OConner High School field. It's from 9-11, monday thru friday. anyway, on monday, sydnee and i got there a little before it was over to watch him hit for a minute. little did we know- we were sitting in a pile of ants!! Sydnee managed to get away without a bite...me on the otherhand...I'M ALLERGIC TO FIRE ANTS. usually my bites swell up for a few days and itch so bad that i want to cut that entire part of my skin off. This time, however, was WAY WORSE. after i got bit, we hurried and stood up and moved away from that spot. My sister called me on the phone and I was talking to her for a minute when I started to get REALLY ITCHY. Now i get heat rash all the time, so i wasn't really paying attention to the itchiness-- i just thought it was heat rash cause it was like a million degrees outside! Anyway= i also started to feel a little dizzy and weird so i got off the phone and looked down at the arm i had been scratching for like 5 minutes! IT WAS COVERED IN WELTS AND WAS BRIGHT RED. now this is weird, i thought. maybe i should tell someone? no- i'll just hurry home. no- i should tell someone, this IS NOT normal. well, i am so glad that I did show someone! a few of the other parents came over to look at my lovely arms, neck, and legs of welts--beautiful, i know. LUCKILY--LUCKILY one of the other moms had an emergency kit with some benadryl in it and gave me some right away. I'm afraid if she hadn't, I probably would've had to go to the ER. This all happened in like 15 mins--so fast!! I was frieking out (and feeling very embarrassed at what a spectacle i was!) and said that I'd just drive home real fast and lay down. WELL---- on the way home my tounge started swelling up and my body was SO HOT! (umm..not in the good way either! LOL!) I called matt and told him to come home asap--we then rushed to Texas Med Clinic where I waited 2 HOURS to get a shot of benadryl and steroids to calm my skin down. Needless to say, I am allergic to fire ants. and i live in Texas. super, I'm excited for this horror year round. SORRY this post was super long--but you needed an explanation before you see the lovely pics i posted of my super icky skin! (i was terribly bored while waiting for the dr- i decided to document my drama)



my stomach- it was all over my back like this too

My side--don't know if you can see it real well, but it's covered in welts.
