Long time no BLOG

I have been busy.. Busy doing stuff... Thats my story and I am sticking to it!

Big story around here, Sam went away for the weekend with his grandma, She took him to the zoo, and the played in the fountains, and they stayed at a hotel in Tacoma, where they played some more. Sam arrived home today minus his favorite Blankie... NOT GOOD, And this blankie, by the way, use to be Jakes favorite Blankie, and when I gave it to Sam when he was 6 months old, he instantly became attached to it. He finds it in the dark just by touch.. ( maybe smell?) it was a Gymboree baseball blanket from 1997! there is no way you can find another one.. So what does Mommy Do? I first call the 800 # for the hotels, cause I dont know WHICH Sheraton she stayed at in Tacoma, they were very helpful, and told me which one it was, where I was then directed to lost and found.. back to the front desk I went when she couldnt locate My Mother-in-laws room.. Front desk told me what room it was, so Back to the lost and found lady I went to. They said they would search the room, and call me back....... Phone rings... I'm sorry, I cant locate the dirty old blanket... Maybe it got sent down the laundry shoot and it will show up in the laundry, if that happens they will call me back.... Hour later , they called! It was in the laundry shoot , her description of it " its kind of yellow with blue baseball caps and baseballs on it, looks like a baby blanket with some holes in it?" Yeah lady, that is the Must have, cant sleep without it, gone through two sons, smelly blanket, that I now will drive to Tacoma to pick up so sam can sleep. Thank GOD she found it!!

Again, we wont talk RED SOX,, they were just in town.. had tickets to all games... they lost ALL Games... thats all I am saying about that.

I am trying to start a Scrap blog, showing all my projects for classes, But that will wait till all projects are finished, and I have time to take the pictures and load them, But I have been working on getting the projects finished first!

THANK GOD you found it! I cannot even imagine what would have happened if it disappeared. You should have made your MIL drive back and get it. OMG!

Angels were looking over you tonight!! Thank goodness they found Sam's blanket! I have a blankie girl too..(still, yes, she's 9) the ones from when she was born, the soft, soft, gymboree ones. I was thinking about you when I saw the game end tonight........ :-( Hope to come check out your classes! -Zora

I am so glad they found it for you. We would be in serious trouble here too if our blankies got forgotten somewhere. I think I have Grandma trained to make sure she has it though! And she'd be driving to Tacoma to pick it up!!

Bummer about the Sox Tami. My nephew and his friend wrapped up their 7 day trip with the game in Seattle yesterday. Not sure who they were rooting for. So glad you got the blanket back. Same thing happened with my son's blankie in a hotel room but we never got it back. Can't wait to see your new project blog.

ROTFLMBO I am glad they found the blankie, I KNOW how big of a deal things like that are. Our oldest ds left "mr bear" in oregon one summer and we had to have it overnight mailed to us ($24 dollars!) and boy if that was not an adventure! OYE! LOL Darla

What we mothers do for our children's sanity. Do you think they will ever repay the favor? LOL!
I have tickets to see my Cubbies play in two weeks at Wrigley. I think they are further in the basement than your sox, cheer up!
