Seriously, who knew lettuce could be so dangerous? On Friday, I continued my quest to eat healthy by making a delicious salad. Mixed greens, tomatoes, avocado, chicken and blue cheese. All the kids were napping and Wes was due to return from Dallas in an hour. I was sitting on the couch inhaling my lunch, knowing that Drake would be waking up any minute. And then a piece of lettuce got lodged in my throat. At first, I thought a simple cough would dislodge it. Then I realized I couldn't cough!! My mind started racing as I stood up, clutching my throat. I started considering my options....run downstairs and out the front door hoping to see a neighbor, then collapse in the parking lot? I imagined Wes getting home in an hour and finding me on the living room floor. I kept trying to cough but could not inhale any air to expel a cough. After what seemed like an eternity, I put my fist into my mouth and shoved two fingers completely down my throat and grabbed the piece of lettuce. Seriously!! Remember laughing about my ability to stick my entire fist in my mouth? Well, it saved my life. I sat down on the couch, sweating and bright red, heart pounding as I looked at the wilted piece of lettuce. It took me a few minutes to calm down and catch my breath. Guess the lesson is I need to SLOW DOWN when I'm eating. Take the time to chew my food. Whew!!!!
So that's my dramatic story for the week. Now let's look at some pictures of the kiddos.
