My baby.....

Tonight I was in the living room watching TV.

Minding my own business.

Our youngest called out to me.Being a loving mother I yelled back that American Idol was on and to leave me alone. She called me again, sounding a bit louder. I, of course, did the only thing I could do with American Idol on...I yelled back that if she called me again she was going to bed early and for the love of all that is holy could she just fix it herself. She then pulls out the big guns and yells that it is "an e-mer-gen-cy". My heart starts beating fast cause she is in restroom. Uh-Oh!
I go back to see what's what and by the look on her face I know. My baby. Our youngest. She is a baby no longer. She grins at me and says, "I guess I'm a woman now." And, "do I get the talk?" Because I am all together and ready for this I run in the living room and tell my hubby I am taking her to the ER and that no child of ten can possible have her ummmmmm well you know. Yep. Way to make this not traumatic for her. Sheesh! I get her all bundled up and off we go with Middle Daughter in tow cause she wanted all the women in the house to be included in the adventure. The lady at the front desk looks perturbed when I walk in and tell her what's going on. She goes, "You brought her in cause she started her ummmmmm well you know?" HECK YEAH!!!!!! All while my little Boo-Bear is standing by me with a big grin on her face.
The Dr was wonderful. He checked to make sure nothing else was going on...he just took her temp and listened to her tummy and asked a couple of questions.....all the while I'm standing there rubbing my hands together and breathing heavily. I know he was thinking about giving me a Valium. Anyway, nothing is wrong with her that hasn't been wrong with zillions of other women. The Doctor gave me a pat on the back and said "don't worry mom, she's fine." I took her to the store and we bought every kind of "product" she ever thought of. Anything she wanted to try. You should've seen the cashiers face when the three of us walked up with 80 boxes of ummmmmmm feminine products and some chocolate. I think we may have scared her.

This Friday we will be having Womans Day. I am going to take her to a movie...just the two of us...and we will eat popcorn and have some chocolate. I will let her know how proud I am of her and that I love her..........................then I will go and light a candle for my hubby cause now he has three women in the house who will have PMS all at the same time. :)
