Exciting 24 hours

Yesterday started out as a normal day-- Dropped Kyle at preschool, ran errands, picked up lunch and were on our way home to eat it. The police had the road blocked and so we couldn't get through and when I asked if we could get around the other route, the policeman advised that we should not be around the area right now (not going to tell me twice) so we headed back to McD's to eat in the restaurant part. After an hour or so, we headed home and were able to get through the other way and the police there were saying the "situation" was under control. The first policeman had said something about a person wtih a gun. Anyway, we were safe and home and never heard what the excitement really was about. I was thankful Allison and I had run around all morning versus going home. Not sure we couldn've gotten out to pick up Kyle!! That would have been crazy.

Then, on Damon's way home, he got a flat tire so had to change it, go to the tire store and get a new tire put on. I had been procrastinating dinner and had decided just to clear some leftovers out of the fridge which I was thankful I'd done.

Finally, to end our day, we heard Kyle coughing about 11 pm and he had vomited in bed. I don't need to go into detail here but it is not the way you really want to end your day. So, we are hanging low, getting his belly adjusted to food and doing LOTS of laundry. I knew the post earlier this week about avoiding the fall bugs would probably lead to this bout! What was I thinking?

I did read a whole book yesterday- "Jim & Casper Go To Church" Thanks for the loan, Lori. It was very thought provoking and I'm looking forward to processing it tonight at our church leadership meeting.
