We had a major crisis this past week!!! "Blankie" disappeared for three whole days and I was the last one to see her, and thus, the primary suspect. Even by myself. I kept thinking "Was I not paying attention and throw it away?" (Which I sadly suspect has happened to more than just a few things) I searched trash cans, laundry baskets, bathroom cupboards, toy baskets, under beds, and EVERYWHERE. And it was NOWHERE. And then it was there--in Austin's room, in a toy basket I know I searched at least three times, which means it was in his room the whole time, likely being moved from place to place each day as the tornadoes that are my children tore through his room each day. I love how he said, "I don't know" when I asked if he knew where blankie was 20 times a day, even though he probably picked it up each day as he cleaned his room. Olivia, thankfully, made do with the rejected look-alike blankie. Which then made me wonder if it was time for the official grayish-pink blankie to disappear, but Olivia's excitement and happiness on having her "blankie" back changed my mind. I guess she (blankie) can hang around a while longer. Notice how "it" suddenly became "her" when she was missing and I was worried about her?
Now if only I could find the two school books Olivia lost our first week here that we need for school, and the ream of paper I know I bought last pay day, but which I can't find. Sigh, suffering from mushy-mommy-brain at least makes life interesting.
As a side note, I love to receive comments on my blog and I think everyone does, so I have decided to leave comments on everyone's blog that I read this week. Hopefully you get to be a lucky one. And I admit to the world, that when I am bored I read blogs of people who are connected to the people I know, like my sisters in-laws or friends, who I don't even know and have likely never met and probably think its weird that I'm reading their blog, but its true. I don't know if I've brave enough to post comments on those blogs, but we'll see.

I know how you feel about losing things. I have this problem with taking my kids word for it when they say that they have looked some where, so I look everywhere else in the world and end in frustration look in the place I told them and there it is. Think I would learn.
I am excited about my lunch thing 6 of the 7 girls have said yes to coming so I am excited. I decided on having them fill out a paper naming their 7 quirky things. I did this in a blog tag and it was so fun learning about other people that way. Good luck with your lunch, I look forward to reading about it.
I love getting messages on my blog too. It made me really excited that you left a note on my blog, so I thought I'd return the favor! I love reading your stories about those crazy kids of yours. Only 11 days till my crazy kids due date! Best of luck finding that ream of paper, Katie
I love your blog! It's hilarious! I am so excited to come up this weekend and take part in your crazy lives!
