thats strange

so my daughter came running into the house hollaring that my son was throwing up in the garage. my first thought "ugh..the flu." it wasnt until he started screaming "IT BURNS IT BURNS! IT IS BURNING MY THROAT" and i noticed that just washed fresh scent that i realized he had indeed swallowed some sort of household cleaner. :/ sigh ELI. when will he learn? please no one answer that. i am not prepared for "never."
so 911, fire department, paramedics, and the sherrif's dept (to make sure i wasnt trying to kill my son... @@) then the ER. great. we are home now. he is fine now. his punishment. apologizing to everyone in the family for scaring them and for disobeying mom and dad by being in the garage. and he had to start our nightly prayers by asking God to forgive him. sigh. i figure the burning vomit was enough punishment. maybe not. but surely the fact that he thought the doctors were going to cut him open and he was probably going to die at the hospital was punishment enough. i cant cause that sort of fear. poor baby.

Umm.. Wow... Poor Eli. I'll be praying that there is no more unnecessary stress before Samuel arrives. :)

wow, that's rough. i hope he learns quick for the sake of your sanity. luckily dylan has a weak stomach. he tried drinking some kind of cleaner he managed to climb up and grab when he was two, but the fumes made him puke and his screaming gave him away . . .

Holy cow, you sound so relaxed about the whole ordeal. Why didn't you just hang out at the ER and have them induce you. Hope you are feeling well and won't have to kill one of your kids before the other one arrives!:P J/K for all those church goin folk who also comment on this here nonsense. Love and miss you xoxox

um, cause having your babies at the hospital is for wimps.
i did buy new jammies for myself for just after delivery though. :) i like that tradition. and since i also really like presents, i am very happy right now.

thanks friend :) you are a good one. i will keep you. hope your day was fantastic. and today my son, apparently learning nothing from sneaking drinks, climbed up onto our counter top to our over the sink window sill and snuck my milkshake that was defrosting for my future consumption. i was furious. dh was about to beat him, but we remained as calm as possible and he got into a lot of trouble. tomorrow he has to shadow me for everything i do. including my shower and many many pee breaks. i still want to go wake him up and smack him!!
