One of Those Days

I've never ever had to call poison control before.  That is before yesterday.  I was up in the attic going through some of the boys clothes and the boys were in the living room.  I came back down and Spencer says to me, "Mommy, Bennett has your vitamins."  I could figure out what he was saying until I looked at Bennett and he's got a handfull of my Tums, and about as many in his mouth.  I immediately freak out and call my mom.  She tells me to call poison control.  They tell me that he was fine and that there aren't any harmful side effects because he hadn't eaten enough of them.  Phew!! 

Later I put the boys down for a nap, but Spencer came out and sat on the couch with me.  He ended up falling asleep so I took in to sleep on my bed.  Well he didn't stay asleep, and when I went to check on him, he tells me that he ate one of my vitamins.  I look to where he's pointing and my heart sinks.  He's gotten into my jewelry box where I know that one of my migraine pills is at.  I really freak out this time.  I called my mom again and she told me to take him to the emergency room.  I called poison control AGAIN, and they told me that because he only ate one pill that it wasn't going to be harmful.  The caffeine in the pill was the only thing that would do anything to him.  Thank goodness!!!

I felt like such an idiot.  Here I'd never called poison control in my life and I end up calling them twice in one day!!  Thankfully the people that I talked with were so nice and knew exactly what they were talking about.  Really helped to calm my nerves.  Gotta love my kids!
