I Think I Need a Break!

Kipp has been gone a lot lately with different things, so I've been home with the kids by myself. I really don't mind staying home with the kids, BUT I think it's caught up to me! Tonight while getting ready to get supper going, Ella comes running into the kitchen and she's crying. I look at her and see that she has blood coming from her nose and it's running to her lip. I ask her what happened. "Were you picking your nose? Did Drew or Kate bonk you? Tell mommy what happened." She finally gets out that there's something in her nose. I look and sure enough, there's a light bright peg in her nose. I look at the clock--4:59. I figure I could try the dr. office so I call and they say I'm sorry we're already closed. Yes, I told them what was wrong and they weren't very sympathetic. So I figure we're going to have to take her to the ER. You see, every time she would cry and then breathe, she would suck the peg further up her nose. I wasn't sure if I should have her try to blow it out or not, so I didn't. Not to mention, that the blood and the thought of the peg in her nose was making me nauseous and faint. Not a good combo! I called Kipp and told him that I thought we were going to have to take Ella to the ER. When he asks what happened I burst into tears and give the phone to Drew. He proceeds to tell Dad what happened. I'm not really sure what came over me, but I am quite sure that had I not been pregnant, I would have had her immediately blow her nose and been over it. However, I have hormones raging and tonight they overtook me! So, Kipp gets home and looks and says we should have her try to blow it out. And just like that, it's out! I'm so glad my husband is still sane, because I am not. I have been overtaken by pregnancy craziness! Ella is the first of our children to EVER put anything in her nose. How did we manage to get through two others with nothing like this? I don't know, but she is the middle child! She's just like Daddy!
