Due to a communication mix-up, my ex-husband sent me to wrong place to pick up our daughter tonight. She wasn't there. I tore the place apart, enlisted custodial staff to help, yelled up and down hallways. My ex-husband came up and joined the search. We panicked, we tried not to cry. It only lasted 40 minutes, but it was horrifying. Finally, we got a hold of a phone book and I called her best friend to find out that she was waiting for us someplace else. By the time we got there, she was also panicking and trying not to cry. She said she ate all of the "emergency comfort food" she keeps in her back pack.

I've never been so glad to see anyone as I was to see her when I walked in that building. I squeezed and squeezed and squeezed until she said her head was going to pop off. Then I turned her over to her daddy to squeeze some more.

Good to be home now. I think I'll go eat all of my emergency comfort food. Fuck. That was awful.

Thanks for your kind words.
 
I feel as though I lack direction.

Do I allow the current to sweep me along, or do I swim upstream?
 
Courtier:
I am a courtier at the Palace of Kinomaru in the country of Chikuzen. You must know that in this place there is a famous pond called the Laurel Pond, where the royal ones often take their walks; so it happened that one day the old man who sweeps the garden here caught sight of the Princess. And from that time he has loved her with a love that gives his heart no rest.

Some one told her of this, and she said, "Love's equal realm knows no divisions," and in her pity she said, "By that pond there stands a laurel-tree, and on its branches there hangs a drum. Let him beat the drum, and if the sound is heard in the Palace, he shall see my face again."

I must tell him of this.

Listen, old Gardener! The worshipful lady has heard of your love and sends you this message: "Go and beat the drum that hangs on the tree by the pond, and if the sound is heard in the Palace, you shall see my face again." Go quickly now and beat the drum!

kat was four and we were shopping at the commisary. i look down and shes gone. i called and called for her until an MP asked me what was wrong. "my daughter is missing," i cried.
they closed down the entire commisary, locked the doors so noone could come or go until she was found. i freaked inside. 15 min. of pure horror.
finally, she popped out of a rounder of clothes..."surprise!"
and yes, i did squeeze and hug and love on her all the while i was saying "do you know how much you scared me? if you ever do this again, ill make you disappear."

so, long story short ( i know, too late) i so totally understand that feeling. :rose::heart:
 
My middle girl disappeared at the zoo once when she was four, too. They shut down the zoo and called the police. Similar thing - she was playing hide and seek. My little sister found her, and when she did, she lifted her up out of her hiding place by the neck. It was truly terrifying, too, because our zoo is huge and there are no gates - just a big opening to parking lot.

This was somehow worse because the oldest had just called me at 5::01 to tell me to pick her up. When I got there at 5:05 she was no where to be found. I swear, in my mind, someone had her in a closet, a bathroom, a locked classroom. Or someone had heard her call for a ride and had grabbed her and ran. Or the very worst - someone forced her to call for a ride to throw us off the track and buy some time to get away with her. I can't even tell you all the things I was thinking. So glad she's OK. And she was totally in the right - the miscommunication came from her dad, not her. Crazy night.

Thanks for your kindness, V. It always means so much coming from you.
And thanks for the hugs, Rob. You're always there to squeeze a girl when she's down and for that I am thankful! :rose:

So sorry you had to go through that. An awful time indeed.

How's your heart rate?

Faster every time you're around. ;)
No, in all seriousness, it's better now.
But I was in full-blown panic attack when we were searching the school.
Not that you could tell, of course. The midwife in me can pull off anything without breaking a sweat!

I don't doubt that for a second, though I'm sure your iron-clad hugs and racing heart were felt by the little one.
;)
It's good. I was never more sure of my mother's love than when she was shaking me so hard I was certain my brain would rattle out of my ear.
:rolleyes:
Seriously, though. It was her way of saying, "Not being able to find you scared the absolute shit out of me, and I'm still convulsing a little from it all."

:heart:

Nirvana, behave yourself . . . Goodness!! :cool:


No, no, no! You absolutely must not behave yourself!

...but if you should happen to get an idea about what somebody wants for Christmas, please do tell...

I'm fairly certain that you don't want to hear a single thing I have to say to you, so it's in your best interest if you just step off and continue to leave me the fuck alone.
