I admit I am one that is easily shocked with how "glamorous" motherhood can be. After nine and a half years of the glamor I thought I had seen and done it all. Disgusting bums, green snotty noses, throw-up....no need to go on, you get the idea. But, I had a whole new experience the other night. I will give you a hint....it had to do with a fettuccine noodle...

and this oh so sweet face.

John wasn't going to be home for dinner...he had his own glamorous night full of meetings, so I decided to make Chicken Alfredo for dinner. The kids love it....John and I, not so much. I was thinking perfect...kids happy and I will just eat a whole lot of junk for dinner after the kids go to bed...wonderful!!!
While the kids were eating I decided to run upstairs to check for an email I had been waiting for. Two seconds later, Hailey starts yelling that Easton was choking, but I heard Easton cry so no big deal! Coleton had patted his back all was well. I had Easton take a drink to which he kept telling me it was still in his "neck". Being the kind and awesome mom I am, I just had him drink a bit more and all is well.
The evening progresses... homework...reading...a whole lot of sneezing from Easton. I think weird, but the kid has allergies like crazy so whatever. I wipe a bit of gross snot and think weird again. I give him some Benadryl because the poor kid just can't stop sneezing. An hour or so after dinner the kids and I were getting ready for bed and Easton lets out a huge sneeze and all the sudden I see this noodle hanging out of his nose. Disgusting!!!! Hailey is standing there gagging, Coleton is rolling on the floor laughing, and I get the lucky job of pulling the noodle...covered in snot mind you...from his nose. SICK! As soon as I get the noodle out Easton says, "Oh that feels so much better mommy!"
The poor kid wasn't kidding when he told me the noodle was still in his "neck."
Note to self...when one of the kids say something is wrong, LISTEN to them!
