Birthday Parties and runny noses

Letitia has a runny nose and cough.

But we still took her to a birthday party yesterday in East Coast in the middle of a thunder storm.

There were about 50 people squeezed into this tiny chalet because it was pouring cats and dogs outside. There was hardly any standing room not to mention breathing air. I thought I was going to pass out from the heat and the humidity.

Anyway rain finally stopped and Letitia was tugging my pants going,"Walk walk!"

So off we went to explore the place when she decided that she will run and TRIP and fall flat on her face and CUT her hand...........

Ai yo I tell you there I was standing in near total darkness franctically trying to dust the sand from her and trying to stop her from crying and trying to stop the bleeding and at the same time trying to balance a coconut drink in my other hand. CHAOS!

She was wailing, " Home home home........" So that's the end of the birthday party, at least we got to eat the "Bob the Builder" cake!

You never what know what is going to happen when you have a child. The strangest things happen to you at the the strangest times.
