Those three things pretty much sum up my day yesterday. The day began just as any other day: baths for the kids, unloading the dishwasher, throwing in some laundry. Really, quite unremarkable. The adventure began when I decided to run some errands before our lunchtime play date.
Next: Home. After all the action, it was time to come home to rest. B had called to check on Hudson; as I was on the phone with him I saw it. A lizard. On my dining room curtains. The thing must have scampered right in through the front door. Ugh. Just to point out: I can handle spiders. It's my unofficial job here at home. I DON'T DO LIZARDS. They move too fast. And they have those scratchy little toenails. Unfortunately, B was working late so I had to deal with it. I quickly devised a plan to sneak up on it from behind with a jar. I stealthily scooped him into the jar and slammed a lid down on it, and promptly delivered him back outside.
In closing: weirdest day ever. A special thanks to B and Dr. H for taking good care of my boy. Thanks to my friend Jen for knocking some sense into me and reminding me to stay calm; and for bringing ice cream when it was all over. And to the mom of the kid who pushed Hudson: Please, please, please don't feel bad. The situation could have easily been reversed; and I saw how upset you were. I can't even imagine how you must have felt yesterday. Please don't worry. We're all fine. Actually, Hudson's pretty proud of it today.
One more thing: as we're on the way to the hospital, Hudson goes, "Mom, there's a spider on Charlotte's car seat." And there was. So not only am I a little flustered as I'm chauffeuring my bloody child to the hospital, but I'm also madly swatting at a spider so it doesn't eat my baby. Pretty sure that's distracted driving at its best.
That's all. Have a good weekend.

What a DAY! Glad you survived with a sense of humor about it all. And with smiles (like above) it sure does make every crazy moment WORTH it! Look at that grin! ***PINCH PINCH*** PS you are really brave taking two little ones into old navy!
Seriously? I'm so sorry you had such a crazy day yesterday! You are so tough. I would have had a melt down. That first pic of Charlotte is perfect. Hope your day is wonderful!
Oh yeah your day falls high up on my idea of a very sucky day.
I am just like you I hate lizards.. I can handle spiders, cockroaches, rats just keep the lizards away ARGHHH. You however are awesome I would have left the lizard for my husband to deal with.
Happy that you live through it and had ice cream to bout :)
Have a great weekend.
Holy Buckets that is one wild day! I would have freaked if I came across that lizard.We had one in our garage last summer and it was a huge. I remember freaking out and calling my husband crying cause I didn't know what to do and I was afraid it would somehow get inside.
whoa! what a day! i am glad H is ok. thats the kind of day that ends with ice cream and a good episode of grey's after the kids are in bed. :)
impressive! It sounds like you handled it very well. Happy Mothers day. EM
Are those mattress sutures or a baseball stitch?
(P.S.:Alex obviously provided me with these terms:)
Heather, good question. (I didn't even know there were different kinds of stitches...shows what a supportive, involved wife I am.) Hutch is the one who sewed him up. Bryce wasn't too excited about sewing up his own kid. But he was on call this weekend, and every time he had to go sew someone up, Hudson now has a more first-hand understanding of what Daddy does at work all day.
Oh dear. Wow. Way to hang in there. I guess, it's good to get it all over with in one day???
