After last weeks disastrous start I had hoped this week would start better. It did for my oldest, just not for my husband and me. My car is in the shop again, I am ready to drive it to Goodwill and donate it! But let's not go down that road... So yesterday DH went in late to work and dropped our oldest off at the bus, she went to school and he went to work. Everything went smooth as glass until DH went to pick her up and she didn't come out the building... He waited for awhile still no daughter, he saw a lot of her friends, he asked the guy that was patrolling the common area if he had seen her. Nope so he called me, did he have the time right? Yes he did. He headed to the office they hadn't seen her, but she should be in her math class... Yep they had her old schedule on file; he told them that her scheduled had changed last week. DH and some other gentleman checked all the classrooms that are used by our school in both buildings of the University... No daughter... OK I am stuck at home with no way to get up there and DH is going crazy trying to find her and no one at the school knows where she is or have they seen her!! DH finally tracks down her psych teacher. Yes our oldest was in class left on time and seemed fine, she volunteered to check all the girls’ bathrooms for him... No daughter... DH is now walking the perimeter of the building checking in the fields and along the stream, just in case... I am on the phone with him, using my cell phone to keep redialing daughter's cell, in a total panic as no one has seen or heard from our daughter for over an hour now!!! When he yells in the phone she is calling me.... A few minutes later, seems like another hour, the phone rings it is my daughter!! Her guidance counselor pulled everyone, about 15 kids, that didn't have a Flex class in for a meeting and decided to use a conference room that isn't part of our school, but one that is used only by the University that hosts the school!!! He had turned off his radio so he didn't hear the frantic calls from the office to the rest of the staff looking for our daughter!! Mean while the school has been locked down and the police have been called, there is still chaos going on around the school... But I am just happy to have my daughter in her father's care safe and sound and totally oblivious that she was the cause of the crisis. She has also been told even if the counselor says it is just going to take a few minutes to call whoever is picking her up and let them know, no matter if he objects!!! We are so thankful that God kept her safe and oblivious to all of this. She just felt aweful that we had gone through this. She kept telling me mommy I am sorry... Here is hoping and praying that we have a better day today!! |
