Mom Moments– gashes and throw up

bandaid2

Cinco wasn’t feeling too great, but wanted to go to the grocery store with me, so I took Mykelle along to help.  BJ Dude came too.  Just after we got in the store, BJ Dude was kind of running back and forth by my cart, and it looked like he was kind of annoying a lady close by.  I told him to stop goofing off, then turned to grab some lettuce.  I heard a ‘bonk’ and BJ Dude had grabbed his forehead crying.  I told him that it served him right and let him think for a minute or two.  Two aisles later, he took his hand off his head and he had blood down his hands and arm and had wiped it in his eye!  He had a little cut on his forehead.  It was deep enough for stitches, but only wide enough for a couple (about the width of one of the little metal things on the grocery carts).  Doodle Bug took him to the bathroom to clean him off, then we put a bandaid on it.  I bought some butterflies and fixed it.

 

We came home from the store, put groceries away, then headed to Shotgun’s football game.  Cinco still didn’t feel great, but played on the playground anyway.  After Shotugn’s game (they won– he scored one touchdown), we piled in the car and stopped at Sonic for a burger on our way to the girls games.  We waited forever (15 minutes) for our food.  Just after she brought it to us, Cinco threw up in the car.
