Today we took Kaitlyn to the LAB CORP to have her blood drawn. It suppose to be a routine blood test for a kids between 12-18 months old to check for lead. While Ralph walk Kayla to the bus stop i took the chance to dress Kaitlyn and have the two of us ready when daddy came back. I dressed her with a heavy heart. My baby is going to be stuck with a needle and blood taken from her small little arms. The anticipation of that was making me depress and so sad. When we finally got to the LAB CORP, I told Ralph again that i will not be holding Kaitlyn and I will be outside sitting int he waiting area. I of course went in with them but when the lady told us to take off her jacket i started getting nervous, anxious and i felt faint. Hurriedly i got the jacket off and went outside to wait. I literally had to take deep breath to calm my nerves and the butterflies in my stomach. I strained to hear screams of pain coming out of the room they were in. Finally i heard the technician say ” What a brave little girl you are!” still i was not convinced i waited for a cry coz i thought she was just about to start. I was wringing my hands waiting and then i heard Ralph saying ” your done, I’m so proud of you baby you didn’t cry at all”. I almost tripped rushing inside the room i was so relieved to see her smiling and just looking around. She didn’t not flinch or cry out one bit. Ralph was amazed at how calm and peaceful she was in his arm. They took two tubes of blood and yet she never whimpered or stiffened up when they stuck the needle in her arm. My heart was fluttering that my baby was so BRAVE and i just scooped her in my arms and gave her a big kiss, nuzzled her hair and just held her. My agony was done for the day,lol…

After the LAB CORP Ralph decided that we were going to have shrimp for dinner so we stopped of at a local store Path-mark. While we were there i got a call from my cousin telling me that they would like to come over for Thanksgiving. Not having seen my cousin since January, i said of her i would love to have them over. While talking on the phone i was holding a couple of packs of yeast. We paid all our purchase and proceeded to load all the stuff in the car. On our way home i looked for my cellphone and found two packs of yeast in my purse!!!!!!! I said to Ralph ” honey, I’m a shop lifter! Lets go back and pay for it”. Ralph would have none of that and said well pay them when we come back,lol… I feel so horrible. The next time I go back to Path-mark i will pay for it. I never meant to put it in my purse without paying for it. I must have been distracted on the phone that’s why i put it in my purse.

What a day for the brave little girl and the mommy shop lifter,lol…. I swear i have never stolen anything in my life.
