Black Friday and the Emergency Room Visit

Yesterday started off very nicely. I dropped Dallas off at my Parent's and then took my nephew shopping and then to a movie. I saw a tree for $99 at a door-buster sale and I just had to have it. There will be no live tree in my house anymore. So after I bought the tree and everything else I could fit into my buggy, my nephew and I went to se the new movie "Flushed Away". Love the movie and highly recommend it. I made it back home by late afternoon and decided to put my new tree together while Dallas played with her toys. It was one of those multi-colored pre-lit trees. I have never owned one before but it sure seemed easier than putting on all those darn lights myself. I sat back to admire the new tree once I plugged it in. Dallas sat in my lap and we looked at the tree together. Maybe we would put on the ornaments later that night. Then it happened!!! I saw her chewing on something and fished it out of her mouth. It was a green plastic light holder off the Christmas tree minus the glass bulb. Oh sh*@. Thank goodness we live three minutes from the ER. Three x-rays later we left the hospital. The doctor could see the pieces of the bulb in her but there was nothing they could do. She chewed it up pretty good. Now we just have to let the pieces"pass" through her system. Of course I didn't sleep well last night because I watched her all night long. Needless to say, I have been chasing her away from the tree all day today. I think this child gave me 50 more gray hairs last night!!!
