Em has been quite curious about the stairs and has occassionally climbed onto the bottom step for which she gets a swat on the bottom and moved to a new location. This morning I held out turning on the a/c as long as possible and then right before we had to leave the house decided to shut the windows and turn on the air. I thought I'd be quick enough that I could leave Em in the living room while I ran upstairs.
I shut the windows in Em's room, I shut the windows in the guest room, and as I walked back into the hallway to go into the upstairs guest bath I looked down and saw Em ON THE 4TH STAIR UP FROM THE BOTTOM!
I wanted to scream in fear, but was afraid I'd scare Em and she'd tumble off the steps so I sort of gasped and then quickly walked down to pick her up. I actually debated taking a picture, but it didn't seem like a good idea to leave her there longer than necessary. When I sat her down in the living room she started to cry and I went back upstairs to finish closing windows, but made sure to put up the baby gate.
We went to get my weekly blood draw (its like winning the lottery, but without the money or new cars or gifts) that only required 3 painful needle sticks (not as bad as our 6 prick day, but not our best day either) and then I decided to get a salad at a local deli on the way home.
We were in line behind some teenage boys (I thought they were teenagers, they were probably 25 lol) and I noticed the guy in front of me seemed kind of woozy. He must've said something to the cashier about feeling faint because she stepped over and put her arm around him and started to walk him to a table when HE FELL OVER. I stepped forward to help at the same time another woman did while his friends went and sat down with their lunch and started eating. Um....Em, meanwhile, started to scream like he had actually fallen on top her. I picked her up as the cashier and other woman helped the kid/adult to a chair.
His friends didn't even come over to sit with him! I should've gone over and talked to them about their manners. I did go over and make sure he was ok and if he needed to us to call anyone. I'm sure he felt embarrassed so I wanted to reassure him there was no need to be. He said it was the first time he had ever passed out. Poor kid.
And I did Wii Zumba today as I didn't go to the gym and it was too hot to walk (aka I was too lazy to go outside and walk in the heat). 20 minutes of Zumba and I thought my calves were going to fall off. I'm pretty sure my calves are the only part of me that get worked out when I do zumba as the rest of my body has to fight through layers of fat and it is sort of like a ripple in a pond effect where everything is jiggling and rolling. I hope I'm not sore BEFORE Stroller Strides tomorrow because I know I'll be sore afterwards.
Please pray for our friends Emily & Clay as they say goodbye to Clay's mom. Emily and Clay are dear friends of ours and one of the best couples we know.
Hope everyone had a great day!
