Today I had my day all planned out. I would take B to school, J and I were gonna hit a few yard sales & bum around town. I was gonna pick B up from school and run a few other errands. Well, unfortunately my day didn't turn out anything like I had planned. Turns out, Brianna was sick today. She wouldn't tell me until we got to school. She decided to tell me by throwing up all over the sidewalk, at school, right after we got out of the car. #1 - I was glad it wasn't in my car. #2 - I'm glad it wasn't in school. So, we went home, watched movies on the couch and napped for majority of the day. Brianna slept for 4 hours at nap time. That's VERY unusual for her. A normal nap usually consists of 1-2 hours for her. However, she does like her sleep! Keeping J quiet and out of B's room was quite the challenge. I had just checked on J while he was playing in his room, when the phone rang. It was G'ma Parker calling to check on B to see how she was feeling. Today, I had been checking on J about every 10 minutes or so. While on the phone with G'ma Parker, I had slacked off a bit with checking on J. He got quiet so of course, that draws red flags so I told her I had to go check on him. He wasn't in his room. Uh oh! I looked to see if maybe he had crawled in bed with his sister. Nope, not in there. I checked the bathroom, my bedroom & bathroom, under the dining room table, kitchen table, behind the couch, the curtains, in the basement...you name it, I checked it. He was no where to be found. Well, I was still on the phone with G'ma Parker. I SHOULD have let her go at this point. I was so worried about J, I forgot she was still on the phone (even though I was holding it up to my ear). I thought she was gonna get in her car and drive over here to help me look! She said, "Did you check outside? You know how he's able to unlock the doors and slip outside without anyone noticing." OMG...could he be outside?? I told her I had to let her go. I would call her when I found him. I ran outside, checked every nook and cranny out there. He was no where to be found. I was REALLY freakin' out by now! I thought he HAD to be somewhere around the house. Somewhere I hadn't checked yet...but where?? There was ONE place I hadn't checked that I never thought about. Look where I found the little turkey...
Under his activity table IN his room!
I saw these sticking out first. Kinda like the wicked witch of the west (in the Wizard of Oz).
I'm glad I found him! I had to call G'ma back to let her know, not to send out the calvary! He had me scared to death! Lil' turd!!!
