Being a mother certainley has its fair share of challenges. At least that is what I used to think. Now I'm of the opinion that it has more than its share and that's not fair! *Pthb* My daughter Zoe has once again lived up to her nickname of "bug." At the ripe old age of 10 months, she's masterd the art of crawling. While brianstorming on what to write in this week's newsletter, I suddenly noticed it was unusually quiet. Zoe had gotten out of my sight. Looking around the corner, I saw her sitting by the front door, her mouth moving slightly. Visions of a dead june bug lying in that very place flashed through my mind. Panic and adrenaline took over as I rushed to her side.

"Are you eating something? What are you eating? Let me see!" I said frantically.

Zoe sensed my tension and began to cry. This was good because it allowed me to see what was in her mouth, as if the june bug leg stuck to her face wasn't enough of a clue. Sure enough, I plainly saw the remains of what could have been a bug in her mouth. I swallowed my fear, and stuck my finger in her mouth, going for the bug. When I grabbed the body, I screamed and flung it to the floor, shaking my hands vigorously. (What can I say - I'm terrified of june bugs!). This frightened Zoe all the more and her whimper turned into a scream.

I dug out a few unidentified pieces and a wing before I couldn't take it anymore. I was satisfied that the majority of it was out. I carried my frightened baby to the high chair and gave her a sippy cup full of juice, which quickly settled her down.

Exasperated, I slumped down in the kitchen chair hoping I would not find what I missed in her diaper.

*Bigsmile*

I would like to hear your humorous experiences in parenting, babysitting, or just seeing someone doing something out of the oridnary. Please comment or submit your writing to the newsletter, and I'll be looking forward to reading!

Ask & Answer

*Question**Idea* Questions & Comments *Idea**Question*

Brians Next Novel Almost Done! Author IconMail Icon Writes:
Wow! Your rant was very entertaining, and it hit close to home because I once had a job where there was some down time each day and invariably I would bop onto WC to pass some of the time. I know how it feels to go without this site for a bit, so that made your little piece extra amusing!

Yes, this place can be very addictive, can't it?

Vivian Author IconMail Icon Writes:
Welcome back, Sherri. W.Com withdrawal is serious trouble. You wrote a gracious reply to a rather sharp rebuke. Good job. ~~ Viv

Why thank you, Viv. *Smile*

Love is a Mommy (no foolin) Author IconMail Icon writes:
You rock, Sherri! *Kiss* Thanks for a cute NL - maybe your next one can be about Zoe eating june bugs... When I heard the story, I couldn't stop laughing. *Laugh* Ask Duck about the cricket story sometime...

How funny! I already had plans to do so, and apparently...did! Thanks for the suggestion! *Laugh*

Miss_JoJo Author IconMail Icon writes:
Poor comedy editor - such awful withdrawal symptoms - I do feel sorry for your co-workers though.
Anyway, you've persevered and managed to come up with another nugget of nuttiness - welcome back!

Thank you! Great to be back!
