Well, it's been a CRAZY and STRESSFUL 24 hours in our house!

I got a call around 4pm from our babysitter (good friend of mine) that Amelia had gone face first into the pool (she doens't know how to swim) and that she swallowed a bunch of water, was vomiting, etc. So imagine my heart and tummy after getting THAT call at work!

Amelia was taken by ambulance to the ER and I met her there. Poor thing was by herself with as she describes them, "The boys that took her to the Dr.!"

She proceeded to vomit a lot at the ER, had to get chest Xrays, an IV and stayed overnight. I stayed with her. She's fine now and everything looks clear. We brought her home a couple of hours ago and she wanted to watch CHicken Little (her new fave movie). She curled up with her blanket on the floor in a corner and quickly fell asleep!

OH it's been a really stressful day for everyone and I am hoping Amelia is not afraid to go in the pool now. We'll have to see.

But she's fine and happy to be home! We're thrilled she's home, too!!!

So glad she's home and everything is okay!

HELLLOOO Anybody out there.

Here is a general travel question for all of you. Would you rather stay at a hotel/motel or a B & B. I have never stayed at a B&B and would like some input on them.

OMG! I can only imagine how awful that must have felt. My girls are a bit older now (8 & 10), but I still remember vividly the scares we had when they were younger. We went through a crushed finger (it was closed in the hinge side of the door, and the door latched!), a severe stove burn (I told you not to touch that!), and our daughter being lost at the mall for 15 minutes (We thought someone grabbed her). Oh, and last but not least, having my daughters foot twisted backwards in the wheel of a bicycle. (I was mad at myself for doing something stupid like riding with her on the handlebars.) I can understand the feelings that you get when your child is hurt or in danger.

I'm very glad that she is back at home safely. God bless.

Matthew,

Long time, no see on the thread. Glad to see you back. How've you been?

 

[JLDSMD]

Well, my eyes are half closed, so I'm heading off to bed.

 

[MinnMick01]

Well that is it from me for the night.

Things have been busy at work. I was also out in Las Vegas for a few days. I dropped my daughters off for a three week visit with their grandparents. I spent most of my time working on my Father's computer.

I don't think I'll be able to catch up on the 64 pages or so that I missed.

Hmm, I must be fighting off a cold or something. Last night I was really tired and cranky, feel to sleep right around nine. Now I just got up from a weird early evening nap. Woke up to a stuffy head and still cranky. Darn it.

Hazel had to take Lina to the doc yesterday, she has a URI, gotta gets the meds started, she can't be for her own party this weekend.

Hope you start feeling better soon Carrie.

Hello, Hello, anyone out there???

I am so sorry to hear this. Do you mind me asking how old she is. If she is still young enough I would suggest doing some mom and me swim classes. Mackenzie was a great little swimmer when she was under two. But when she was 2 she fell into my parents pool. Nothing to the extreme of you. We were all right there and I stuck my leg in and pulled her back to the edge. But it took her up until the ocean on the cruise to get her past her fear. Mom and me classes were great to get her started but it has been a long three years. I so hope that your little one does not have as much issues recovering from this as our did.

She's three. Late last year she took the swimming class with her Dad at our YMCA. I have been meaning to sign her up for the next stage in the progression. This week I am going to sign her up for hte sessions that begin after the 4th of July. She needs to learn how to swim...if not for her most of all for her PARENTS who will seriously have a heart attack before this girl turns 13.

I got to work my full 8 today. When I got in this morning, there was already one person in the backroom and no work to do, so I worked on another team that needed some help. At first she was hesitant to let me help her but by 10:00 when I went on break and told her that I was done helping that I needed to go to the backroom, she just about begged me to keep helping her. I found it rather funny. Then right before we opened the LOD (manger for the day) walked passed me. She is the one who likes to send people home to save payroll. She looked at me and said "You don't belong on the floor" I said "I am being a team player and helping the outs team." She looked at me pulled out her daily schedual and said "why are there 2 of you for the backroom right now" I looked at her with a big old grin and said "Because John changed my schedual to give me my hours back." She got mad and walked away.

Oh boy!!!! Can you ever win??!!

OH NO! I hope you feel better and that it isn't anything bad for you.
I almost ALWAYS get a bad cold in May every year but for some reason this year I never got it! I'm sure it'll creep up on me sometime soon!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! ​

HI ANDY!!!

So when is your next FL trip?

I forgot to mention this last week. When my eldest niece VJ was up here for Lina's graduation she asked Lina if she would like to be her baby's Godmother. It was the first time in my life I actually saw Angelina speechless.......

Lina just sat there in shock, she didn't know what to say, she sat on the couch grinning from ear to ear. VJ is due to have her baby this coming October, and she found out last week that she is having a girl....
