Just a casual day… loading 4 kids into the car, heading to urgent care for a tick removal, then straight to a birthday party like nothing happened. Motherhood really turns you into a crisis manager. And honestly? Ticks are absolutely unhinged this year. I thought the spot on Stallone’s neck was just a scratch for DAYS. Even up close I couldn’t tell because apparently my eyesight left after child number six. It wasn’t until he kept messing with it and I tried to pull at it that I realized… that was not a scab. Immediate full body shiver. But this is mom life. Someone always has soccer, someone has a party, someone has a random medical issue, and somehow… everybody still needs to get where they need to go. You learn real fast how to roll with the punches and keep it moving. Thankfully he’s totally fine now, but consider this your reminder to check your kids for ticks because these little demon bugs are out here thriving this year. lifewithkids tickseason momlife parenting momvlogger
