what’s the past tense of "smite"?
Henry does NOT have an ear infection–instead, he has strep throat! Yes!
Wade called this morning, to check in, as we were sitting in the drive thru lane at the pharmacy and I said, “If your throat hurts, get someone to swab it for you.”
And he said, “Well NOW it hurts. Thanks a lot.”
Ten minutes ago, it occurred to me that maybe, just maybe the headache I couldn’t shake all weekend was ALSO caused by a strep infection. So Wade is on his way home and I’m off to Urgent Care to have someone swab ME. I bet I already know what they’re going to tell me. Because we’ve been down this road before. (That link takes you to a whole mess of posts about strep throat. In my house. In the past TWO YEARS. Den of pestilence, I’m telling you.)
Oh, and? Just this minute? It started to rain. Like build me an ark, Noah, and gather up those animals rain. Because apparently I have angered someone higher up and now I will pay.
Amen.

1) I think you want “smote.”
2) All hail the antibiotics.

Yikes! Thank goodness you can’t catch Strep over the Internet.

Smite, smote, smitten.
Gee. Feels like third year - Mallory, Chaucer, Tennyson - all over again. Which I really would rather do all over again than suffer strep throat in the family that many times. Even if I had to suffer the same prof. again, and that’s saying something.

I think I prefer “smat” to the official “smote.”

Strep throat again? You must all be making up for all the people who have never had it…like me.
It’s raining there? What the hell? It was beautiful tonight. I stood outside and talked to my neighbor for an hour.

I’m going to go with Melissa that smat sounds much cooler

Whatever the word is, girlfriend you be one smitten kitten. Smote goat? Well you’re totally not a goat…smited?
Yeah. I haven’t a clue… but I’ll send up some good thoughts and or prayers and or karma or whatever the hell, and think good things for you.
Like Levaquin and Bailey’s and chocolate chip shortbread and fantastic skimmers on sale at a magic shoe shop adjacent to the pharmacy.
Or something.
Hang tight.

Send some rain our way. They have put water bans in place and it isn’t even July yet…
How about smut as past tense? That’s really fun.
