SO upset!

Brittanie · #1 July 13th, 2008, 09:08 AM

So, I have a small bookcase/shelf thing that holds my DVDs, and on top of it is my Cora stuff. I have her picture/handprint frame, her urn (filled with gravel from the lakebed of Jenny Lake where we spread her ashes), and four little bears holding the letters that spell out her name (plus a few other things, but they're irrelevant to this story at the moment)

Erin's high chair is next to this bookcase, just because it's really the only place I had space for it. So when she's in her high chair, I have to pull it out so that she can't reach Cora's bears and stuff. Erin knows she's not supposed to touch these things.

I put her in her high chair this morning, gave her her breakfast, and then took a shower. Well, I forgot to pull her high chair out.

So when I was done with my shower and walked out there, Cora's bears and urn were on the floor, gravel spilled out everywhere, and Erin was playing with the frame, which had pancake and milk all over it.

I was very upset at myself, mostly, and Erin a little too. So I start cleaning everything up and I realize something.

The C bear is missing.

I can't find it anywhere! Her name is not Ora! I have pulled out all the furniture and looked behind and under everything. I pulled out her toybox and pulled everything out to see if it fell in there. I even looked out the window behind the high chair just in case she somehow threw it behind her, and there wasn't anything on the sidewalk to indicate a shattered ceramic bear (thank goodness).

I have no idea where else to look. There's only SO many places it could be. And it was there when I put Erin in the high chair.

It's like I have a black hole in my apartment.

I'm so sorry this happened. I think my house has the same black hole. Its very upsetting when something very precious can not be found. I hope you are able ot find the C bear soon!

Found it! On the other side of the high chair from Cora's shelf is my aquarium table. RIGHT by the high chair are my large betta vase, and my sister's smaller one (I'm fishsitting Wallace for the summer). We looked all around the vases and behind the aquarium and everything. So I was upset and tired, so I was laying on the couch.

I looked over at the fish and told myself I needed to feed them (which I still haven't done >_<), and was too tired to get up so I was just watching Wallace and Rupert (my betta) show off to each other. Then I realized there was something weird going on in Wallace's water and when I got up to look at it, there's the bear, floating at the top.

LOL!!!

So he's had a bath, but he's fine. He's sitting on the window sill in the sun to dry.

YAY!!!
