Life's, "Oh, Crap,"Moments

While trying to find out Sarah's gender, during the ultrasound, I said, "Come on, show us what you are."  No joke, she shook her head, NO! That was the first time I thought, "Oh,crap! I'm in trouble."

Then one day when our girl was about 5 months old, she was vehemently opposing the changing of her dirty diaper. The changing pad was about an inch longer, on each side, then the top of the dresser it was perched upon. As she threw her legs up in protest, she inched back the pad, unknowingly, to the point  that it was now fully over the edge, on the side closest to her head. With one wild kick of the legs up with her arms above her head, the pad went straight up into the air as she did a swan dive, head first, into the garbage can below. Her legs were really kicking now, with her bare bottom wiggling for all to see. As this was happening I screamed in shock & horror. Paul rushed around the corner, saw us & said, "If you don't want her any more, you didn't have to throw her away,"then he started laughing. This, while I scooped her out of the trash, and yelled at him, "I would NEVER do that Paul!" Thankfully there was nothing in the garbage can except the bag of a diaper wrapping that cushioned her fall. 

If the diaper had not already been off, the crap would have literally hit the fan.  This was another, "Oh, crap" moment, of which I have had many. Simply put, life has, "Oh, crap,"moments. The best way to handle them is, pray, throw it at God & laugh about it afterward.

Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.
