Blanket Crisis!

If you dont have young children you will not understand this but if you have small children you will totally sympathize with me, nod and shake your head and smile. Sunday my mom and I took the kiddos shopping for a bridal shower gift for my cousin. We have decided to make a road trip to Ohio for the shower next weekend and with my crazy schedule this was good time to go. So of course Zach and Emily had to take their special items, a somewhat dirty pink bear at least I think it is pink for Emily and a small blue blanket for Zach. I allowed them to take there because I was hoping they would fall asleep in the car and it is much better when they have theses items. Well like a mother in a moment of weakness I allowed them to take them into the store. You have to understand the plan worked they fell asleep and I had to wake them up to go into the store. This equates to not happy children so in a moment of weakness I allowed the blanket and bear to shop with us. That was the mistake! Needless to say the blanket was nowhere to be found when we arrived home. Luckily we only went to three stores, but in my parental attitude it told Zach sorry about your luck you chose to take the blankey you are responsible for it sorry I am not going to try to find it. Then I pack their bags and send them to Grammy's house. Sorry Grammy for having to put Zach to bed with no blankey. Anywhere fast forward to Monday. The mommy guilt is starting eat away at me and I decide I should at least call the three stores to see if they have it. Low and behold the first place I call. The woman says does it say wish upon a star? Oh my goodness there is a God I replied. So guess what I got the pleasure of driving back to the store to pick up the blanket oh did I mention the store is about 35-40 mins away not a run around the block. But I have saved the blanket and the crisis was averted. Isn't being a mom great!
