I am so mad at myself!!

Here it is 2:30 in the morning and I am up with a cranky, yucky feeling toddler all because I am an idiot! I fed Sean something with wheat in it for supper tonight and now we are suffering the consequences of that error. (FYI for those who don't know....Sean is allergic to wheat, eggs and apples.) He woke up screaming at 1:00 in the morning. Rebeckah was the first to hear him and so she came and got me to tell me she couldn't calm him down. As soon as I walked down the hall I smelled that familiar smell. :-( My poor baby's bottom was all blistered.

I feel just awful that I let this happen. We had sweet and sour chicken for supper (which of course has wheat in it), so when we have meals like that I make Sean a separate supper. I was in such a hurry tonight I grabbed a frozen dinner Chris had brought home for Sean the other day. I should have reread the ingredients like I usually do. Two pairs of eyes are better than one! I have made the mistake of misreading labels before and I have learned to read and reread and have someone else read the label too, but I didn't tonight. I am so mad at myself right now. As I got Sean all cleaned up and calmed down I had Rebeckah dig the box out of the trash and I read the ingredients to see if my suspicions were correct. They were!

Now Sean is wide awake. Rebeckah is too, so we are watching "The Devil Wears Prada" right now as we wait for Sean to go back to sleep. It is going to be a long day tomorrow. Thankfully all I have to do tomorrow is return the library books and get Hannah to cheer leading. Well I was supposed to go grocery shopping, but I think I will put that off until Friday. I think we will just have tacos for supper tomorrow. I know how to make those safe for Sean and he loves refried beans.

Well I am rambling, so I will just stop here. I sure hope he goes back to sleep soon!

Hey there! Wow, poor baby. You and Sean! It will all be better soon.
We learn from our mistakes.
Did you see Lisa's blog?

Aw, I'm so sorry that happened! I have done that to myself before. It is not fun but it's just one of those things that happens. I hope Sean is feeling better by now. (((((You)))))

Hey, I am here from Karen's Kooky blog.

Poor Sean. That is awful. I was allergic to wheat and dairy as a child. I outgrew it though. Thank Goodness. I really feel for Sean. I hope he is feeling better.

How many children do you have anyway? It sounds like a house full!
