A weird day, Indeed...
Alright, so Thursday was just damned *weird*.
First, the boy and I have had a stomach bug. The boy was home Wednesday, as was most of his class, with a fever and his tummy was hurty. So, he stayed home, and slept. While sleeping, his damn body grew. I'm not kidding! The kid woke up with all of his pants too little, and like 2 inches above his ankles! WTF! I went to the store with my friends from work to get the boy new pants. The new pants don't fit. He's apparently slept through a size.
Then, Thursday evening, I go home to watch TV and enjoy a quiet night without class or extra work, and we had a bag of peanut M&M's we were munching on. I got one M&M half caught in my throat. Worse... The horrible little candy got caught on a serious scar on my vocal cords. I couldn't cough it out, and I couldn't breathe. My face was red, and Donovan was pounding on my back.. it stil took me nearly 2 minutes to get that candy out of my throat. Poor Donovan. He and I were both crying by the time I got it out of my throat. I tasted blood for two days and I'm still hoarse. Bleh!
After the scare of the evening was gone, and Donovan stopped watching me chew everything, we went to bed. :) I woke up at 2AM, smelling ham. Yes, ham.
We heat our house with gas, and I have no idea what the "leaking gas" smell is. I woke Donovan up because I was afraid I was having a waking dream, or a nightmare, that the gas had really leaked enough to either kill us both, or make us unconscious...
Only to hear Donovan say, "Mom, you're crazy. Go back to bed."
I keep trying to tell him to get up - because I think I smell something..? Is it ham, or something else?
Donovan finally gets up and looks around. Now, he understands what I'm saying. He goes and checks the heater, the front door, and the back door. When you open the front door - the whole building smells like ham! LOL.
The guy next door was hungry, and apparently needing food at 2AM. LOL
