HUGE Lessons Learned at the Airport

I was already not happy because I had to come home from my paradise, and then it got worse. We parked the car, checked in and then I got in line for security with the girls while Shannon went to return the car. As we were about to push our things through the scanner Zoe started screaming. GREAT! Apparently there was something REALLY sharp on the ground, and since we had to take our shoes off it had cut her big toe and I kidd you not it was gushing blood everywhere! She was hysterical, I quickly put Hailey back in the stroller and carried Zoe to a bench. Meanwhile like 100 people are trying to push past me and put their sutff in the scanner. WHO CARES! I think Zoe was a bit freaked out by the amount of blood, there was a lot. All of a sudden about 5 TSA agents and 2 police officers were trying to help me. They really weren't of any help, they did want information though. All I could say was, she cut her foot and you need to keep the floors clean! The lady in charge wanted to know if I wanted a medic, I told her I needed some guaze and a bandaid and the next thing I knew the fire department had arrived. YIKES! Apparently if you say you need a bandaid they call the fire department. They were very nice, bandaged her foot and I thanked them. I told them I hoped this was the most dificult call they were going to have all day. Doubt it. LESSONS LEARNED: Make sure the ground below you is clean before removing shoes and don't say you need a bandaid-ask around the crowd for one first. Oh ya, when we finally made it to the front of the line again, Zoe would not take her shoes back off, kindly the TSA agent said it was okay. :) PHEW!
