February 18 He could be dead...who needs hot wheels?Wow, I had a scary incident take place this afternoon. My hubby and I both fell asleep for a nap; the volume was down on the tv so I could hear the kids. I woke up 1 hour later and realized I didn't hear the kids...they hadn't made a peep. I bust in their room, and they had gotten into the closet; their closet is a catch-all for "no-no's". My hubby and I used to collect Hot Wheels and other 1/64 scale die-cast cars; we left them all in un-opened packages in a blue plastic tub in the closet of the nursery.
Of course the kids had got into the crayons, markers, stencils, coloring pages, cereal, and our damn hot wheels! As I got closer to the closet I noticed some of the hot wheels were pulled out and the babies were in the tub with the remainder of hot wheels. I jerked the kids out and got onto them for getting into the closet(which does have a lock)...and then I realized J (who is deathly allergic to peanuts) had been sitting, bare thigh on a jar of peanut butter!
All I could do was cry and hug him and thank God the jar was unopened - seal intact! It was too close for me to handle; f*** the hot wheels - he could've died. If that jar had been previously opened, or if he had opened it himself he would've had an anaphylactic reaction and died in that closet while I was asleep in the next room.
Don't take kids for granted - they are always a blessing (even when they eat your collectibles). Trackbacks (6)The trackback URL for this entry is: http://mrsgberg.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!D96D0604E8487E9E!1997.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
