SREIOUSLY?! PART DEUCE

Again - I have no time, but had to jot this story down.......

This is how a what should have been a 15 minute trip to Target turned into a 40 minute trip to Target....

We ran into Target (Me & Jadyn after dropping off Kylie at school) really fast to grab something for Jadyn to color because I had to go into the office again today. While browsing the coloring isle Jadyn turned around to look at something & bumped her nose into the cart. (**Jadyn has a very sensitive nose. She can smell stinky things a mile away & if it's bad enough she will literally start gagging. She also has a tendency to hit her nose & have it start bleeding uncontrollably.**) At first nothing happens & I didn't think she hit it that hard. She, in true Jadyn fashion, starts freaking out. I told her it was fine. She kept asking if it was bleeding & I told her no. Then, it started... I saw a little trickle & she went to wipe her nose on her sleeve. First of all - GROSS!!! Second of all - I knew as soon as she saw that she would REALLLY start freaking out. And she did. We had toilet paper in our cart & I tried to bust into it, but couldn't get it open. At this point it's really coming down. I then hold my hand under her nose & start running for the bathroom.

She's trying really hard not to gag because the blood was all over her face & still free flowing. (Sorry if this is too graphic.) Some workers see us & ask if we're ok. I told them we had an accident in the coloring isle & there's blood on the floor - while I was running. That got them moving. We find the bathroom & start the clean up process with a very distraught child. She had blood ALL OVER her face. Some workers come in & ask if we had an accident in the store. I told them what happened & they asked if we needed anything. (I think they were worried we were going to sue them or something.) I'm cleaning her off & trying to get her to hold her nose to stop the bleeding & she was shaking all over in fear. Her hands were shaking so hard. I felt so bad for her at that point.

Finally the bleeding stopped & we got her cleaned up. We took a minute to assess the damage & noticed she had blood on her clothes. Which meant she got a new outfit out of the deal because we couldn't go home. So, for my girlie-girl.....she got some coloring stuff & a new outfit. Not so bad after all. But, for me & my lovely aversion to blood (thanks for that trait as well Dad) I am still shaking. Now, if I can calm myself down....
