Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk
Hi All. We had a very eventful trip to New Hampshire, it was far toooooo short but full of excitement. First I found out that my baby girl would be a great marathon shopper, she can spend money, even her own, quicker than I can blink an eye. We hit all the outlet stores lickety split and she, as well as my niece, were in their glory (I HATE SHOPPING!). As I'd mentioned before Bre wanted to get her bellybutton pierced, sister and I teased with her all day about how much it would hurt and often they get infected to no avail...she was determined to get it done. We went to the "tattoo and body Piercing" place and talked to Julie, the Piercer their, the place was very clean and the people were friendly and pleasant. Julie took Bre upstairs, niece went to watch, within 10 minutes, they were back down stairs, Bre was joking and laughing, saying that it didn't even hurt, Julie told me she did a great job...not even a flinch. We went to the counter to pay, Bre was standing behind me, Julie in front, offering her hand to Bre to shake, telling her it was a pleasure to meet you...blah blah blah...Bre was not taking her hand, I was thinking "Come on Bre...your manners are better then that", I turned to look at her just as Julie was saying "she's going down", I grabbed her arms just in time to lower her, as gently as possible, to the floor SHE HAD PASSED OUT! Of course she was mortified, Julie said that it happens, people tend to get a huge adrenaline rush anticipating the worst and when they come down from it they pass out. Well of course we had to continue to tease her about this the rest of the day. It really scared me but I didn't let on. That night we went to Pizza Hut, their was a table of about 15 behind us, on vacation, kids and adults....all of a sudden one of the women at the table starts yelling "CALL 911" quick, chairs go flying, glasses are knocked over, kids scramble, I look and she is holding on to her husbands head and has her hand in his mouth. Sister assumes that he is choking, goes to check but he is having a seizure and one of the people with them is a nurse. Bre falls apart, she can be so cold sometimes and then other times she is the most sensitive kid around. She used to have seizures herself and maybe that is why she was so affected by it...anyway we ended up getting our dinner to go. All were wound asleep by 10...such party animals we are. Next morning we go to breakfast and as we are leaving Bre, my grown up 16 year old, spills a glass of chocolate milk in nieces lap....all we could do was laugh, Again Bre was mortified. All in All it was a good trip...nice bonding times...one we will not soon forget.
