Scarrrrrry

Well I had the life scared out of me on Thursday. My mom, sister, niece, me and the two kids went to an Easter Egg Hunt at a local grocery store. We had to be separated due to ages, so I went with the youngest, Peanut. We were told that the parents couldn't go down the aisle with the children. So I put him in the aisle and he was fine with this. He started hunting and other mom's were going to the end of the aisle, via the next aisle, to greet them on the other side. I decided this seemed like a good idea. I got there and of course because I am so short I couldn't see anything. The "nice" woman infront of me, when I told her that I couldn't see my child said she couldn't see her's either and only moved for a sec so I could peek down the aisle. Nowhere near long enough to look for my child.

So the search for eggs ends and I still haven't seen my little Peanut. I am now starting to flip out just a bit. Now people have moved and I can clearly see down the aisle and my Peanut is NOT there!!!!!! Panic sets in but not enough people have moved so that I can go down the aisle. Finally a nice man sees that I am not alright, understatement of the decade!! He asks that everyone let me through. Now my little Peanut is for sure not in the aisle and full blown tears start in. I get to the end of the aisle and he's nowhere to be seen. You, with children know exactly what I am thinking at this moment! Someone asks whats wrong, I am by now sobbing, big time. I tell them my son is missing and what he had on and such. About an hour, okay probably more like 30 seconds, go by and someone says I think we found him.

I look to my left and about 30 feet from me is this precious little thing with a face as red as an apple and tears streaming down his face. I ran to him and clutched him so hard and sat down right where we were. Of course he calms down first and says to me Mommy stop crying! Kids!

By the way the store didn't really seem too upset that this happened and now that I have had a few days to calm down, they will be getting a call at the home office to let them know I did not like how things were handled and how I was treated.

In other more happy news. I had the best dinner with two of my greatest friends last Friday. I suggest that if you can try to go out once a month with friends. We had the best time, 3 hours and 2 bottles of wine later!!!!

I am getting ready to go outside (10:39pm) to enjoy one of our nights by the fire!

Keep your kids safe and make sure they know you love them. It wouldn't hurt if they knew your first name and things like that too.

It was bound to happen

Well the kids are better, yeah! Now, of course, I am sicker than anything. I can't hear right, I think have actually hacked up portions of my lungs and it always makes me wonder how one person can have so much snot (sorry for the ugly word) in their head.

We enjoyed a fun filled weekend of beautiful weather and can't wait for tomorrow when it is supposed to be 66 degrees!!! We had outside time with neighbors and I can't wait to get back into our routine of the weekend fire with friends and such.

We did partake of a movie on Saturday night and saw the new film 300!!! Go see this film, wonderfully done! A 2 hour movie that seriously felt like 45 minutes. I really liked it, you do have to not have an aversion to blood but overall still a great movie.

And speaking of movies, who else is going to run right out tomorrow and buy the Casino Royal DVD with Daniel (I'm too sexy for my shirt and pants) Craig!!! I have to admit that I am not that big of a James Bond fan but if they keep him I will go see every single new Bond that comes out. He's so HOT!!!!

And last but not least I have to tell everyone who doesn't already know that I have the most wonderful, loving husband of all time. We are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year and he got the most beautiful wrap for my solitare that I have ever seen. I have been told is making other husbands look bad but I don't care. So even though I've said it before I will say it again, Thank you for being the most wonderful husband, friend and father to our children that I could have ever asked for, eat your heart out women!!!

Have a great day and enjoy the upcoming weather!
