well i knew that when i set the alarm this morning for 6 am it wasnt going to be a good day. i woke up this morning to get a run in with the neighbor before eric went to work. it was a good run because she pushed me real hard and i ran further than i think i have ever ran before! but when i got home i did a few things then about 7:30 the kids started to wake up. ashtyn got up first and wanted to watch cartoons in my room. then parker woke up at about 8:00, i got him out of his crib went to the toy room, changed his diaper, and then i went into the bathroom for a few mintues. when i came out i could not find parker anywhere. oh my god what the hell am i going to do. i ran into his room, nothing, i ran into the bathroom, nothing, i ran into ashtyns room, nothing, i ran to the sliding glass door, it was locked so i knew he didnt get into the backyard, i went to the front door ran out the the street, looked up and down and up again, nothing. at this time i am beginning to feel what a heart attack feels like. I run back into the house look in all the cupboards. i picked up the phone thought for a few seconds and dialed 911. as it was ringing i went into the office. well there he was just sitting on the futon drinking his juice like nothing was wrong. i hung up the phone and held him really tight. then the phone rings. damn it. it was 911 calling back t check on the phone call. she said that she was going to send out an officer just to make sure everything was ok. damn procedures. the officer gets here and proceeds to tell me that 85% of children who are missing are usually somewhere in the house. so i felt like he thought that i was a dumbass. But all i could think of was a lady i knew (trena) whose kids got out of the house and went down the street. i just knew that, that is what happened. so yes now i feel really stupid, but at least my kid is not missing.

    AAAAhhh!! That is freakin' creepy. I remember feeling that way with Elizabeth one time; your stomach just instantly bottoms out while your mind goes crazy imagining the worst.

    I'm glad you found him. If only you could find him AND the Nintendo.
