Sooooo, today was one of those days.  You know the one?  The one where I may have thought Amon was going into cardiac arrest because I looked over and his lips were blue…just the perfect hue of blue to send me into way crazy panic thinking immediately, “This is the moment they trained us for.”  And then I started going over all the steps in my head only to then realize he wasn’t acting like he was in cardiac arrest and then when I further assessed the situation I noticed a very wet slobbery paper gun drawn with a blue marker and then further realized Amon was not in cardiac arrest, but had just been eating one of Hudson’s 5 gazillion paper guns.  The even sadder part of this story, is this is the second time this has happened.  I have decided I shall remove all blue markers from the house.

Today was also one of those days when we may have gotten Sol and Huddy’s sandwiches switched in their lunch boxes.  Giving Huddy, who is allergic to peanut butter, the peanut butter and jelly sandwich and Sol, who is not allergic to peanut butter, the sunbutter and jelly sandwich.  Huddy’s teacher called and said he came to her and said he thought his sandwich had peanut butter on it…after taking a few bites.  I asked if he was breaking out in hives…he was not, so I just assumed he was mistaken, but then thinking about it more, Huddy had never questioned his sunbutter before and is pretty accurate when it comes to his food.  After talking to Josh, he remembered Huddy’s sandwich had the crust on it and Sol’s did not.  I then shortly after received another phone call from his teacher saying he had thrown up.  I asked if she remembered if his sandwich had the crust or no crust, turns out Huddy had the peanut butter crustless sandwich.  Red lights may have been run and this momma may have driven like mad to their school to dose the kid with Benadryl.  It reiterated the fact that he has apparently not grown out of his peanut butter allergy.  In the car he talked about how it didn’t hurt his belly, but that it made his throat feel really funny.  Goodness.  On the way home Sonic sprites with the “good ice” were snagged and then we laid on couch and watched a movie.  I think I will have a very stiff drink for dinner.  You know, because, well…it was just one of those days.

Happy Thursday.
