Sorry I disappeared.
One of my twins just had a very bad nose bleed. She told me it was bleeding and I looked at it and it wasn't that bad. She went into the bathroom to wash her hands and then a short while later, she was screaming for me.
I ran into the bathroom, and there was blood everywhere. All over the floor, sink, counter and herself. It was gushing from her nose. Scared me half to death!!
I was trying to calm her down but she was crying and panicking. And I guess she was getting some in her mouth so she was gagging and almost throwing up.
I kept trying to get it to stop but it wouldn't and she was getting more and more scared and upset. And my other kids kept coming in and looking at all the blood and freaking out which scared her even more.
Finally I yelled at my older DD to bring me the phone and I called my DH at work. (he works nights) It took several rings but he finally answered and I basically just yelled that I needed him here now. I didn't know how or if I was going to get her nose to stop! It was soaking through the tissues as fast as I could get them up to her nose. I'd never seen such a bad bloody nose before.
We only have the one car right now and I just wasn't sure how I'd take her in somewhere if it didn't stop.
He doesn't work that far away and with no traffic this time of night, he made it pretty quick. Of course by that time the bleeding had slowed and she was some what calmer. He helped me clean up the floor, sink and counter and made sure she was ok, then headed back to work.
She's alright now, and is going to sleep here in my bed. I have no clue what caused it. She said she didn't bang it on anything and it doesn't hurt.
I've finally got everyone else settled and in bed. And now, I do believe I am ready to call it a night myself and go chill with a movie.
I used to go to the Eagle Rock plaza with my mom when we were younger... I grew up in Burbank and now live in Acton (between Santa Clarita and Palmdale). My sister and I spend the weekend in Fontana when the NASCAR comes to town. My ex-uncle (now divorced from my aunt) used to be a car chief for a team and back then, we would get garage passes and had great access to walk around. I miss those days... The pits are fun, but I liked going behind the "fence"... We have been trying to get another hook up for garage passes, but they are like gold and hard to get.

. It didn't hurt her at all, but she was scared, which made me scared since I couldn't get it to stop.

Oh, it's not too late is it?
If I don't absolutely chicken out of leaving DS for 4 days.
Definitely not too late at all!! And don't worry, we are a nice group and we do have plenty of time for getting to know each other. 
I almost didn't get on the plane and I'm pretty sure I called from the airport crying.
