No more Bees Please....

Today, Savannah Grace, Lilly Claire and I went to the park for a picnic lunch. Not long after we were eating our sandwiches, a bee started flying around us. We were just ignoring the bee and enjoying ourselves. Then, all of a sudden there was a TERRIBLE taste in my mouth! Then, my tongue started hurting SO BAD! I started spitting my food out as fast as I could and when I looked down...there was a very dead bee. I somehow ate the bee and it stung me on the tongue! It was the kind of pain that I couldn't scream, cry or make a sound. I just sat there and tried to bear it for my girls sake. However, Savannah Grace was very aware of the amount of pain I was in, probably because I was gulping her drink and moaning. She started crying and put her lunch up. She said, "I don't want to play at the park today, let's go." We quickly threw the lunches in the trash and headed to the car. We got in and I looked at my tongue in the mirror and seriously...one side of my tongue was having a seizure! The weirdest thing I've ever seen. I then call Jody at work to tell him about my seizing tongue and I quickly realize I can hardly speak! My words were slurred and my tongue was swelling!!! Jody mumbled something about...did I feel a sense of impending doom? What?!!! Who knew " a sense of impending doom" is a real medical term. In other words, did I feel like I might die or something? Not really, I just felt like my tongue was a little chunky. Anyway, I did survive the ordeal and boy did Savannah Grace and I have a story to tell Jackson when we picked him up....Mommy ate a bee for lunch.

And, just in case you were wondering...bees taste like a very nasty form of nectar. :)
