because my light fixture just fell out of the ceiling right where my son had been playing like 10 minutes earlier! I feel like I could throw up, that's how sick I am about this! My doublewide is only 4 months old. My husband and I bought it in April brand new. What can I do beside call them Tuesday morning and tell them to get their butts to my house on the double. The whole shebang is under warranty for 5 years so they have to fix it. I am going to make them check every blessed light in my house! I am now so paranoid that I won't let him play under the light fixtures. I pray everynight that God will give my baby an angel to watch over him while he sleeps. Now I know he gives him one to watch over him when he's awake. That makes me feel better.
Oh goodness! That is very scary! I would feel sick too! Thank goodness he's okay. He definitely has an angel watching over him. Call them ASAP and have them come out right away. Good Luck!
I'm so glad he wasn't there!! We all have those scary moments with the kids and once it is over and they are fine, that is when I start shaking and almost puke! Hang in there ![]()
When my son was just a wee lad we had a scary moment also. I was ironing and he was on the floor crawling around. I set the iron on the board and turned away for just a second. I felt a hand (no fooling) on my shoulder and I turned around a bit startled as we were alone. I was wondering who was in the house with us. There was no one there but as I looked down, my son had hold of the iron's cord and had pulled it. The iron was literally inches away from his head as I reached out and caught it. Angels...you bet! God was very gracious to us and He still is.
I called first thing this morning and guess what? I had to leave a message and I made it clear that I expected a return call first thing Monday and since Monday is a holiday I probably won't get one until Tuesday. You can bet if I don't get one by 9:00 a.m. then I will be calling them and if I have to I will go to the mobile home sales center and confront them in person. My baby is my world and some of my family thinks I am too protective over him (not in this case of course) but I keep this thought in the back of my mind at all times, once their gone there's no way to get em back.
I had a scary moment at the pool 2 days ago! My 3 year old girl was in the shallow end playing with a floatie, I was on the side of the pool and my 5 hr old girl wanted to show me her swimming abilities in the deep end. (3 feet deep, but they call it the deep end) All of a sudden i hear a shreek and there's Madi (3 yr old) in the deep end! I ran and jumped in (realizing mid-air that she's doing a great job treading water!) I made a huge splash when I hit the water, doucing her of course! and grabbed her! I felt so bad. She was treading water perfectly and I had to almost drown her with my rescue!
Turns out, the other boy in the shallow end thought it would be nice to push her on the floatie and pushed it past the bouies into the deep end. I told her I was sorry I splashed her and congratulated her on her ability to stay afloat! My freind got a good laugh out of it. She said it's not like you're trying to be graceful when you jump in to save someone. You just want to get save em as quick as you can!
Anyway! Definately don't rest until they check every light in that house! I would be having a fit, too!!!!
Oh I am! I simply cannot believe that that happened. I don't know now if I will even wait on a return call. I think I will just show up on their door step around 8:00 a.m. My husband slept with him last night because I was afraid that there might be something electrical wrong with it also and it might catch on fire or something. One good thing about that is that even though there is a smoke detector in that room, there is also a smoke detector in the hallway next to that bedroom that goes with the security package we have on our home and it automatically calls the police station and fire dept if activated. I know I over analyze everything but like I said before, that's my baby!
OMG! I know exactly how you feel. Sorry, just have to share my story. About a month ago, we were at my cousins house and I put my 2 yr. old to sleep on the bottom bunk, and my four yr. old and I were to sleep on the top bunk. Well, the 2 yr. old didn't want to go to sleep, so great-grandma said he could get up for a while, then he could sleep with her in her bed. I was SO mad at gg because "I'm the mom...blah, blah, blah." anyway, when I went to bed with my 4 yr old on the top bunk a couple hours later, I crawled on top, and the entire bed collapsed! It was a full sized bed, homemade, with 2 sheets of plywood. Anyway...VERY heavy!! Had my little boy been under there, he would not have made it. I'm sure the wood alone weighed over 100 pounds, then with me and my oldeset!! Argh....I don't even want to think about it. So, I totally understand how you feel like throwing up!! I still do when I think about it. You may be overprotective in some peoples eyes, but when it comes to your children, if you're not....who will?? I agree there has to be angels watching over our little angels! Thank God he's ok. And if that's him in your avatar...what a cutie!!!
Yeah, I'd be there in the morning pulling them to your house by thier ears.
When my son was about 2 months old I had a scarey thing happen too.
At that time he slept alot in his baby papasan because he wouldn't sleep in his bed and I was paranoid about him being in my bed alone. Well I had just nursed him and he fell asleep, so I put him in the papasan and started watching TV. I couldn't find anything on, so I decided to go clean up the kitchen. I got up real slow and quiet so I wouldn't wake him up and headed for the kitchen. I got to the sink and he started wailing like someone pinched him. It freaked me out so I turned fast to get to him and as soon as I was away from the sink the glass globe thing on our light fixture fell and smashed right where I was standing. This this was OLD and very heavey. I would have at the very least been knocked out for a while hat it hit me and we were home alone.
I've always believed in angels, but that cemented it!
Well this morning about 9:30 I get a call from the sales center and the guy just casually says "You called and said something about a light being tore up". I'm like "YEAH, DIDN'T YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID HAPPENED TO IT?" He was so calm and i'm just like just get here and fix it. I tell him plainly that today was my son's first day at preschool and I had to be out of the house at 11:00 and wouldn't be back before 2:00 pm and he said ok. Well, guess what, they showed up at 10:15 am. I am like "I have to be outta her in 45 minutes" and the repairman said "Oh, this won't take long". I then proceeded to tell him that I wanted each and every light checked. They checked them all. Believe me I watched them. It just irks me that they acted like it was something that happened every day ![]()
All I can say is THANK GOD FOR ANGELS!!!!
Thanks everyone for letting me vent about this!!
