Pancakes and Vomit…..Y’all it was one of those kind of mornings!

Keeping it real and sharing the love…….vomit and all!

5:37: Muffinhead gets dropped off!

5:40: Have an early morning snuggle with Muffinhead in a warm snuggle bed.

5:50: Muffinhead falls fast asleep.

6:10: I gently ease out of bed and settle in with my coffee and my new kindle for my Joyce Meyer reading plan…I am currently on day 5…

6:35: Wave goodbye to the DD as she heads for the Bus stop, did I mention that it’s 24 degrees outside!!!!!

7:15: I wake Muffinhead up and get her dressed, I have my first bible study this morning. We have been off since before Christmas!

8:00: Pull into McDonalds with Muffinhead for Breakfast!

8:05: Order pancakes and apple juice for Muffinhead!

8:30: Pull out of the McDonalds parking lot and head to the drop off day care center and then on to bible study.

8:45: Realize that I left Muffinheads backpack on the sofa at home.

8:46: Turn the car around and had back home to get the backpack.

9:01: Get backpack and head back to the drop off center.

9:10 Realize that I left the DVD I needed for my Bible Study at home still in the DVD player.

9:15: Arrive at Drop Off child care place and hop out of car to get Muffinhead out of her car seat.

9:16: As I am unbuckling her from her car seat Muffinhead throws up the pancakes she just ate at McDonalds all over her and all over the car seat.

9:17: Use the remaining wipes and half a box of tissues to try to sop up about a gallon of vomit that is now puddle in the bottom of the car seat and all over Muffinhead.

9:18: Tell the folks at the Drop Off Center what has just happen. “When mom gets here to pick her up please tell her she is with Grandma!!!”

9:19: Made emergency phone call to Skoots1mom 

9:20: Praise Jesus she picked up her phone!

9:21: Skoots1mom checked the Disciple closet and found another copy of the DVD I left at home…..GOD IS GOOD!

9:25: I buckle Muffinhead back in the car seat which is still puddle with vomit and head over to the church.

9:26: Have an emergency phone conference in route with one of the members of the bible study so they can regroup and facilitate for me.

9:30: Arrive at church hand off some facilitation information and a few handouts and some last minute instructions.

9:35: Head back home.

9:55: Arrive back home, pull Muffinhead out of the car….car seat is still puddle in vomit. Her coat is soaked, her scarf is soaked, her jeans are soaked and I am all out of wipes and as I am getting her out of the car she throws up again……

10:00: Strip Muffinhead down and put all her cloths in the washer and then try to remember everything I touched in the last 15 minutes so I can go back and disinfect it so no one else get sick.

Y’all I am thankful to say that once I got her back home and cleaned up she did not throw up again. She did ask for more pancakes with I emphatically refused……

I have also successfully taken the vomit soaked car seat apart…that was loads of fun and the padding and straps are now now being sanitized in the the washer and dryer.

 

So the high point of my day: Having breakfast with Muffinhead!

The Low point in my day: cleaning up a vomit soaked toddler while standing in the parking lot of the drop off center in the freezing cold and then taking apart a vomit soaked car seat that has now had time to sit a spell while I tended to Muffinhead…the things ya do for love!

Mom just picked her up and is off to the pediatrician….now I am going to wash my hands again!

Blessings

Project 365 ~ Week 12 ~ It was a Muffinhead kinda week…..

Sunday, March 13   Monday, March 14 This is coming up in the herb garden. My sweet furry family member decided it was his greatest joy to pull almost all my plant labels out of the ground and use them for chew toys.  I think this is marjoram but I am not sure. Tuesday, March 15 Click on the link Southern Eggs En Cocotte for the recipe. It was real good y’all!   No pictures on Wednesday, March 16 Thursday, March 17 Can you tell who was at my house all day?   I guess she figured since her toys were scattered all over the floor that she would join them. She laid down sprawl-eagle and did the back stroke for several minutes then switched to rolling from tummy to back all the way into the living room!   Friday, March 18 Today was cake decorating day. Click here to see the start to finish. Saturday, March 19 Today was Muffinhead’s birthday party at a local park! The sun was shinning and the weather was beautiful and a good time was had by all...

Announcing the “I won…You Win Giveaway!!!”

Several weeks ago I was the lucky winner of a book giveaway from Mocha with Linda . Click here to read her post about this book! As I finished the book up the other day I began to think about the two women the story centers around. The story begins with two pen pals in elementary school and they continue with there friendship for many, many years through letters and emails, but they have never actually met, not until things change for the main character. Her life takes an unexpected turn and she finds herself face to face with her long time pen pal. I began to think of the similarities between the two women in the book and all of you, my fellow bloggers. As members of this unique internet community we enter into each other lives as we read each others posts, as we comment, share encouraging words or just a well needed giggle now and then. But what I enjoyed as I read this book was the depiction of the friendship these two women shared. They had been intimately involved...
