Checklist for a really bad morning:
1. Wake up to screaming baby at 4 and never go back to sleep
2. While getting ready, stick finger down said baby's throat
3. Bonk baby's head on door frame while rushing to the bathroom to wash her mouth out
4. Call Poison Control (once finding the number after talking to a mean lady at the ER)
5. Lose phone that is on vibrate
6. Be late to work
So this morning, I decided that it would be fun to get in the trash and eat some of Daddy's deoderant. It tasted really bad and I tried to get it back out, but it just wouldn't get out!!!! So, I tried spitting it out, throwing it up and then Mommy got there... She swooped me up and started sticking her finger in my mouth and down my throat. Then she started washing my mouth out with water. It was so gross and I started foaming at the mouth (which the mommy now thinks looked pretty stinking funny!). So then Mommy looked at the back of the deoderant and saw that it said to call Poison Control IMMEDIATELY if I swallowed any of it, which I had. So then she ran around the whole house with me in tow trying to find the stupid phone and I started throwing up again, so we were running back to the bathroom and she bonked my head on the doorframe. Well that was just the end of the world and I completely lost it and starting crying and wailing (the mommy felt pretty darn terrible about this one, especially with the bruise on her noggan). She finally got a hold of Poison Control and they told her that she had already done everything she needed to do and that as long as I wasn't reacting to it - turning an "unnatural red" or seizing - that I was fine.
So now, I'm just hanging out with a yucky taste in my mouth drinking lots of water and about to head to Water Fun Day with Grant at his school.
Wonder if Mommy heart has restarted yet...

Don't you just love those reminders of how difficult being a parent can be? We are really glad she's ok! It's one of those stories that you can look back and laugh on, maybe you already are =) John and I had a good laugh about it. I hope you're day got better after that and your heart eventually restarted. Give that crazy girl a hug and kiss for us. Love you and miss you guys!!!
oh heavens! I would have FREAKED out! glad she is okay
Good thing shes doing ok. But on the bright side no more sweat stains from her mouth...i guess that wasn't a problem before.
