Buzz off...

This afternoon my husband was doing some work for his Uncle. He was there alone, pressure washing the roof. Which I later told him "Please never again go up on a roof when you are alone!" But anyways, he was attacked by a swarm of bees!!!! BEES!!! There must have been a nest hiding under the leaves and pine needles on the roof. He was stung repeatedly as he scrambled to get down from the roof. He's gotten stung by a bee before in his life with not much a of a reaction. Not this time. He was stung so much that he had a severe reaction. Broke out in hives all over, tingling, burning eyes and face, vomiting and a whole lot more! He also was having some trouble breathing. And that's when he decided he should call an ambulance for himself. Thank goodness he did! They took him to the ER where they pumped him full of Benadryl  and monitored him for awhile.

While all this was happening, I had just gotten home with the baby and was feeding her in her bedroom. Lately, she's been liking being fed in her rocking chair. When she was done with her bottle, she and I just chatted and read books and sang songs. And guess what song we were singing? The Bumble Bee song!!! No joke.

We then came out into the living room and I saw the message light on my phone blinking. I checked it and saw that I had about 1200 missed calls from my Mom and my MIL. And I immediately started to panic. I knew something bad had happened, because if someone is calling you every other minute, usually that means there's an emergency. Just as was about to call my Mom, I got a text from her to call my MIL asap that Matt was in the ER. Ugh. So scaryyyy! So many thoughts were going through my head! Thankfully, he was okay. But geez the poor guy got attacked by those little bastards! He now has to get an Epi-pen and keep it with him at all times. Thank God he is okay. All I kept thinking about when my MIL told me about the bees was the movie My Girl, where Macaulay Culkin (sp?) was killed by bee stings! That scene scarred me for life.

It's just been a bad week!! Along with this bee scare, someone hit the driver's side mirror off our BRAND NEW car the other night! My husband was at his softball game and had to park on the street and some jerk must have clipped the mirror and took off! It's gonna cost $400 to repair it. Awesome.

Goodbye sucky week. Don't let the door hit you on the way out....

I really hope that this week is much better than last week. How is your husband?

Oh those numerous missed phone calls send me into a panic too. I'm so glad that he will be OK, but that he got to the hospital when he did to get treated. And that sucks about your car too! What an asshole for not leaving a note or something.

Oh mu lord! How awful! I would have been freaking out to see all those missed calls. I am happy to hear your husband will be ok. I am very sorry about your car. People are so rude. That really sucks!

Where are his glasses? He can't see without his glasses!

Ugh...that movie nearly killed me.

I'm sorry it was such a sucky week. So glad he's ok though. Hopefully you're on to better times!
