Just in case you ever wondered...

...It is absolutely possible for a DumDum lollipop stick to break in half from toddler drool and then be swallowed. And, in case you wondered, although lollipop sticks may be no match for toddler drool, they apparently can withstand said toddler's stomach acids and digestive tract. Yeah, it's been a bad week. Let's review: Sunday--both kids had to be taken out of Sacrament meeting multiple times for bad behavior (during one such exit, the not-to-be-named child pulled free of my grip and fell to the floor in front of the entire back half of the congregation. Lovely.) Monday--a series of full on meltdowns and refusals to do weight checks and vision/hearing tests during both kids' well checks. The worst of the meltdowns occurred right by the row of women on the phones scheduling appointments, as well as our nurse and doctor. Yeah, let's just say all 3 of us left that appointment in tears. Tuesday--after multiple nights of poor sleep from Collin, he decides that a 15 minute nap on the way home from the mall is more than enough sleep for him. The rest of us spent that afternoon and evening disagreeing. Wednesday--the lollipop incident (where I got to be re-humiliated when I had to explain the problem on the phone to the same nurse who got to witness the Monday antics). That is also the day they decided that it is fun to climb on the back of the couch and jump onto the tile. I can only imagine what my blood pressure must be like this week. I agree that its important to "keep it real" on blogs and everything, but can I just get some flowery, blissful moments to post about next week?
