Just another day

I crawled into bed at 3 this morning and tried to go to sleep. As I laid there, I heard wonderful sounds of snoring from the husband of my youth (my only husband...but Rod says I speak in bible code...so I figured I'd throw that in). So, instead of dwelling on the "Sound of Rod's Music", I decided to pray until I nodded off. Now, at about 6am the man is refreshed from his wonderful nights sleep and as loud as ever. It is a sight to behold. I try to go to sleep as he tells me I am not a morning person. I have ALWAYS been a morning person (until I got married...when I was single I didn't have to wake up to the sound of hacking, shaving, and the hair dryer going...that's OK though) but I really needed some sleep.

Then, it is off to take Morgan to preschool. I made a morning run to purchase some bippees (pacifiers) and then I came home to get ready for her Christmas party and the drama starts to unfold. I told myself I was really going to get a good nap in when we got home. Well, I had a Proverbs 16:9 (9 In his heart a man plans his course,
but the LORD determines his steps.) kind of afternoon.
I get to her party and she was eating some grapes. She then starts to choke and coughs one up. Then, as I was talking to another parent she came and smeared the grape on my shirt in an attempt to give it to me. No big deal, moms are used to being a walking napkin, right. We get out to the car and she starts to project vomit. Then more....and more....and more. Was this a virus or was it from the grape? Then she starts some labored breathing which got me scared. Her pediatricians office was closed for lunch so I took her to the fire department just to be on the safe side. They were so sweet and remembered me from the field trip I went on with my niece. They checked her and one of the men got in the car near her and asked her if she was OK...she projectile vomited as he was sitting there. Fortunately, it landed on me, my keys, and the phone...the other fireman ran into the station to get me some towels as I stood there dumbfounded. They were just about to eat lunch....tasty. They assured me that they had seen worse than that. Then, I took her to children's and they checked her out. She has a virus so it was coincidental but I didn't want to take a chance. The little booger is asleep next to her dad. So far so good.
