FOUND

2 years ago, Adaryll got me what I think was the best birthday present I have received up to this point. An Ipod. I was not addicted to it as many are, but I did love it. It is a video Ipod, so I had downloaded some kids TV shows and would let Elias watch them when we were waiting in doctor's offices, etc. It is what we have been using for him on planes instead of taking the whole portable DVD player. It was just SO convenient!
Well, a few months ago, I realized I didn't know where it was. Around the same time, I also realized some books were missing- the ones I always take to doctors' offices, etc to entertain Elena. And the bag that I always carry that stuff in was gone too. After searching our house over and over and over (and beginning to feel crazy for checking places I knew I had already checked!), I decided that I must have left the whole bag with all the goods at an office. I called ALL of our doctors and no one had seen it. Finally, I thought long and hard and sort of remembered it being in the front seat of my car. So I concluded that it MUST have been stolen out of my car when I carelessly left it unlocked. I contemplated filing with our homeowners or car insurance to see if I could possibly get reimbursed for a new Ipod. But to do that, I knew I would have to file a police report. And I didn't think that would go over really well since it had been gone for months and I didn't know exactly when it disappeared.
So I resigned myself to being Ipod-less. At least until Christmas when I might get Adaryll a new one and confiscate his old one, which is the model of mine. Sadness set upon me.
Then, the other day, I was getting Elena's Epi-pen out of her diaperbag to check the expiration date. As I pulled it out the this special pocket inside the bag, out came my Ipod!!!! I cried tears of joy- I am not kidding. I don't remember ever being so happy to find something I had thought was really gone!
So now it is Found! (everyone say "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!") I updated it this weekend and made the kids their own playlists. I think I have used it every time we have been in the car this week. Now I am addicted. Or maybe overprotective. Or both.
Who knows where the bag and the books are? Who cares! I found the Ipod!!!!

Now on to what I would REALLY like to find: more time to blog!! Pray that I figure out how to juggle my day and fit blogging in again. I really miss you guys! :) And it is awful to have all these blogging ideas in my head and never get to download them onto the screen. If I don't find more time, my head might explode soon!
