Living with a 4 year old is never boring! After a slow transition into living with Aunt
Keko and Uncle Dodi, I thought we were hitting our stride when-
BAM! the bottom falls out! Luke was pretty quiet on Wednesday (clue #1) after swim and all he wanted to do was finish dinner and go straight to bed (clue #2). After a bath we went to say our
good nights to the
fam, where he snuggled with Dodi (clue #3). When we went into his room to put on his magnets for the day I turned around to see a horrified look on his face that was then followed by large quantities of the Exorcist style vomit all over the momma.
OMG! I began to make some weird rescue call to my sister where I stood and continued to be pummelled by Luke's stomach contents! Mike was gone to soccer (of course) so Sara and Shane quickly took charge! I'm
talkin' drill
Sargent orders!!! He was sick off and on for the rest of the night and I began praying to God for mercy on the family. We can officially say we have "been there, done that" with the stomach bug about 3 months ago. He woke up all bright-eyed and ready to rock the next morning. Aren't kids
resilient? On Friday afternoon while at Granny and Paw Paw's house, Luke was letting our dog, Sophie back in the house. Well, if you live in Texas you know the wind has been crazy bonkers. So, the wind caught the door along with my Dad helping Luke hold the door and-
BAM! out goes Luke, who caught himself with his face on the concrete. A skinless nose, a huge egg bruise, and a scratched hand, Luke is fine and my Dad is still apologizing and cussing the wind!
On Sunday morning our little angel woke up at the crack of dawn in a "not so chipper" mood. I hate days like these because I know that short of buying him a
rocket ship we are in for a day of time-outs, booty spanks, and pure torture! Today was no different. He was not happy about anything and the lovely folks at Kroger got to witness this first hand! We told him that we would get him his very own little shopping cart for grocery shopping. There were none (of course) which sent him into a tailspin. Note to self-don't promise anything you are not sure of! He was full throttle at this point. I had a super small window of opportunity-I could either try, beg, and plead for him to make "good choices" or just remove him from the store audience. I chose to grab him VERY firmly and march him out of the store, leaving the buggy and Mike to finish the food mission. The man begging for money for his son's baseball team must have seen the "Mom look" and the "Oh, no you don't" on my face because he did not speak a word as we left, even though he was hounding everyone like crazy as they entered and exited the store. We sat, which seemed like forever, silent in the car having a long time out. Mike made it out and you could see the look of fear as to what he would find left of Luke in the car! We went home and he took a LONG time out/nap! All seemed well in the world for the rest of the evening, until we looked up in the sky last night to see a
FULL MOON!
Lord help his teacher today and his Mommy tonight!
