"Oh, I had to call poison control this aft[ernoon]"

Monday, June 1, 1992

     I can't believe it's June already! My Discovery Toys party Fri. night went pretty well. Seven people came. Plus I got several outside orders. I've earned $50 in free toys so far! & still have at least 2 more orders to come! I'll have to decide what I want to get—I know two or three things for sure. But I'll be able to get more than I expected.

     Sat. was a rather boring day cause Guy had duty & it rained almost all day. At least Ez. slept late—almost 9:00. I think it was 8:53.

     Sun. was hectic. Since we were counting on Ez. taking a nap in church, she didn't. She didn't even fall asleep on the way home so we went ahead & fed her when we ate. Then there was just enough time to change clothes & get things together for the Expectant Arms reunion. It went pretty well even though only 3 other families showed up. There were tow that were supposed to come who never showed up and two who were only maybes. I was supposed to call & check on Patty Stallard & Danette Ocegueda to see if they're ok but I just didn't have time. Cathy Rudolph, Anita Rowland, & Kim Hundley & families were there. Kim's twins were adorable. They're not identical but they look alike except one has blue eyes & one has brown. Everyone said they enjoyed it. Betty Martin came too. It was good to see her. I don't know if I want to be in charge again—too much stress & tension! We just had time to come home & changed before leaving for church again. The only sleep Ez. got was on the way to the hospital for the reunion. She might have stayed asleep awhile but when Guy was getting her out of the car another car came by with its radio blaring. She just kind of munched all aft. too & during church so she didn't really have a decent supper. She went to bed with no problem right when we got home. Not five minutes after we went to bed she woke up & wouldn't go back to sleep. I finally gave up & let her cry. I don't remember how long she cried before Guy woke up & went in there. When he got home this aft. he said when he heard her crying & saw me sitting in bed with my arms crossed in front of me he knew it was his turn to get her. It was 1:18 when he woke up & he stayed in there about 45 minutes. He finally decided to let her cry. Then we got to talking, trying to figure it out & decided she was probably hungry. Guy fixed her a bottle & I gave it to her. She gulped it down but didn't go right to sleep. But she didn't fuss when I put her down & we didn't hear any more from her all night (not that there was much night left). She only slept til 8:00 this morning.

     We went to the credit union this morning. It took a whole hour but she did good. She slept from about 12:20-2:45 this aft. & I dozed for about an hour.

     We went out front after supper & I pruned the azalea bushes while Guy watched me and kept an eye on Ez. She was barefoot & skinned one little toe & ankle a little bit on the concrete, not enough to bleed. Hope they do good. We didn't get them done last year cause they were blooming when Ez. was born & we never had time.

     Oh, I had to call poison control this aft. I think Ez. ate some of Chief's dry dog food. I'm not sure if she did or not. She had two pieces in her hand & some crumbs around her mouth and her drool looked a little like the color of his food. She might have just licked it or put it in & spit it out but I didn't want to take a chance. The lady I talked to said that there's really nothing in dog food that would hurt her or cause any side effects. I was really glad.
