I gots me a herpy.

Not THAT kind! The lip herp. I usually call them herps and the discussion is most often with my mother, since she kindly passed on the genetic pre-disposition. She gets them more than I do though, ha! I hate herps. I think they are the ugliest thing that can happen to my face (obviously maiming not included). I would much prefer a dozen puss filled zits because then I would at least get some poking satisfaction (no I don't have a zit poking fetish).

I think I got the nasty little critter from last weeks heafty dump of work-related stress. Thanks a lot work.

When Cade was a few months old I read this article about a baby who developed a cold sore and, from complications, died. It was awful! Ever since then I am absolutely neurotic about Cade having any proximal relationship to my herp. Tyler is currently sick too so our kid is lacking kisses. Poor baby!

Got any amazingly quick herp cures? I usually use Zovirax but it doesn't work like magic. Liars.
