Vomit at Sam's Club

I'm telling you, we are being attacked! You can think I am a freak, i don't care but I know we are being attacked spiritually right now. I have to do all of my baking and cheese balls tonight and tomorrow before we deliver in Fort Worth on Friday and guess what? The baby and Ava Beth AND Jeremy have the stomach flu. My husband is currently curled up in a ball on our bathroom floor.

Today while getting pecans and eggs at Sam's, Ava Beth threw up ALL over me in the frozen section. You should have seen me! This veteran Mom of three looked like a rookie mom. I just stood there, helpless and held a blanket in my hand for her to vomit in. It was in her hair, her clothes, her shoes and ALL over me. People stared as they walked by, some cringed and then out of no where, a woman appeared and said the following, "My name is Betty and I'm gonna leave my basket here, get my purse and push this cart with these boys in it and you take her to the bathroom. I will be right behind you." Instantly I trusted a total stranger/ANGEL to take my boys while I cleaned up Ava Beth in the bathroom. As we are walking, AB continues to vomit and I hear this stranger named Betty singing Christmas songs with my boys and Josiah is singing along with her, pausing to tell her how many more days until Santa arrives at our house.

I asked a Sam's employee for a trash bag and put Ava Beth's clothes inside. The employee acted like I asked for a million dollars! SO RUDE! I don't say this for you to feel sorry for me but I did not have enough money to go find and outfit on the rack to put her in. I had enough for exactly what I needed! Needless to say, Ava Beth was in the cart half naked. The only thing I could say to Betty was, "Your an Angel. God bless you for helping me." Then we went through the line quickly, I paid for our stuff and listened to little old ladies say, "Mommy, she needs some clothes." And after hearing it the third time, I said in a very annoyed tone "She just threw up all over the place. I'm not worried about her not having any clothes!" After all, their lucky i didn't strip down! Finally we leave, only to stop off the side of the road for her to throw up in some one's yard! I had called Heidi, who was keeping our friend Lacey's kids because Lacey has the stomach flu! We were all out last night for a girl's night and Lacey left early because she was sick! Okay so I call Heidi and say, "I need you to load the kids up and meet me at Wal Mart while I run in to get the stuff I need. You can stay outside with the kids. I will be fast but I have to get this stuff." Heidi met me in the parking lot, I ran inside and we are home. Heidi was supposed to bring me a shirt but she forgot so I smelled pretty bad in Wal Mart! Oh well! :) Thank you Heidi! I LOVE YOU!

A few minutes ago, I grabbed Josiah and said "Son, come here. I'm gonna lay my hands on you and pray." Then he says, "Why do you need to pray for me?" I explained how he couldn't get sick and I couldn't get sick because we needed to take care of everyone else. So I prayed for him and when I finished he said, "Thank you so much for praying for me. I feel really good now." :) I prayed for Jeremy too on the bathroom floor. While I was praying he said, "DON'T RUB ME." :)

Please pray for us y'all. I'm off to bleach and sanitize my kitchen like never before!!!! And while I am at it, I may be cussing SNAPFISH! STILL NO CHRISTMAS CARDS! :)
