THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Try Waking Up to This...

I've been meaning to post this crazy summer story but kept forgetting. One morning this past summer, Cole woke me up at 6am saying "I cried and cried for you Mommy, but you wouldn't help me." When I opened my eyes this is what I saw. Of course I freaked out, jumping out of bed, thinking my poor kid was being attacked by something while I was sound asleep. Turns out he just had a bloody nose. But in that moment when you aren't quite awake, it's a rather terrifying experience.

That looks so horrible! Poor kid. It's a pretty scary sight when you pull up your blog and that is the first thing you see. Thanks for making up relive your experience! Thanks a lot.
