Teaholic not quite anonymous

About 10 days ago I went to a playgroup with a group of other moms at a really nice park. Well, a little boy very close to Maddy's age got stung by a bee. It was the ONLY bee at the entire park (or at least it seemed like it). It landed on his face first and the mom gently brushed it away. I mean, who WOULDN'T? The bee is on this kid's FACE!!! Well, right after that it landed on his finger and stung him. Needless to say, it's still better than stinging the face, but STILL. Poor little guy was so upset but was a real trooper. You could tell it really hurt and it did swell some. All he wanted was mama snuggles. Although, I did hear he perked up at the end and wanted to play.

Well, anyway, that was when I realized that I am totally unprepared for things like that to happen. (Not that it is a good thing, but did make me feel better that the other mom didn't have anything either.) Well, today Maddy and I went to Walmart and I bought a few things for her diaper bag, my purse and the cars. I bought two ready packed emergency supply kits for our trunks. I bought two mini bandaid supply kits with wipes (one for her bag and one for my purse), some antihistamine lotion for her diaper bag, and a pack of 10 instant melting benedryl sheets. I put three of the sheets in each mini supply kit and two in each trunk supply kit. Now, the benedryl isn't for every day use. It really is for bee sting reactions and what not. But I feel good that I'm a little more stocked now.

I also stocked up on toothbrushes and toothpaste for Maddy. That girls LOVES to chew on toothbrushes. I don't mind, since it still is hard for her to let me brush her teeth so I figure that would help a bit. She's almost out of toothpaste but I need to hide that since she wants to treat it like candy! I do love that Walmart has a grocery section though because all I needed was bread, eggs, and frozen chicken breasts and they had them right there. It saved a trip to the grocery store!

Maddy and I were supposed to meet up with a couple mom's for story time at Barnes and Noble. But after Maddy did so nicely at Walmart I hated to turn around and throw her back in the car to go sit still at story time. She needed to run around an play a bit. So we wound up walking over to the park where I let her play for quite a while.

Other than that, just doing chores this afternoon. I want to get the dining room back to normal (still a storage area) so when I host playgroup for that small group of girls who are Maddy's age on Wednesday at least I have a livable main level. I also need to go to Trader Joes for soup for this next weekend. I'm getting their tomato basil which is just heavenly and will make a nice accompaniment to the ultimate grilled cheese sandwiches we are having.

WO of the day: Will work out tonight after Maddy is in bed. 30 minutes ellpitical
Tea of the day: Stash Green Chai
