And so we left...

So we went to mass this morning, 10am at a different church than usual in effort to be at the Fairgrounds in time for Family Day. In these parts there is a Catholic church/school on about every corner so your choice of mass times vary from 6:30am to 6pm. Family Day at the Fairgrounds is just that, Family Day. The admission is only $1 and you get to watch the horses race and they have all sorts of activities for the kids. Well, having never been to the church we chose to attend this morning we didn't know many people there. And little sister was acting very tired so daddy held her most of mass. I didn't think much of her being tired because of the fun filled day before.
Shortly before Communion she woke up and said she didn't feel good. Only seconds later (and of course durning the quietest time in mass) we heard, cough, cough, splat! As I tried to convince the couple next to us that it was in their best interest to move quickly, again we heard, cough, cough, splat!

Again, not being familiar with this church I didn't know where the bathroom was so I escorted my sick little girl outside and let her finish her business outside in the grass. I then came back in to find the bathroom and of course there was a line 5 deep. I eventually was given some paper towels by one of the parishoners so as to clean up the mess in the pews.

So, in this time span of about 5 minutes (although it felt like an eternity) I decided that after I received Communion I should leave to get sick little girl home, bathed, and snuggled.

And so we left...
