A Warning!!

Life is full of surprises and full of adventure. So I've started walking with a friend of mine let's just say to be healthy. So we decided to walk to the park because it is park day and then we could play afterwards. So Austin first falls off of his bike and biffs it. Then he stops at the play ground and I think I should just yell at him and let him know that we are going around one more time. Well I didn't heed that little prompting It's austin he's a survivor He knows cuz I told him I was walking around the park. Well I can't see him and then I see him riding his bike on the other side closest to the major road. So we cut across trying to catch him and then I don't see him. I overhear a lady saying something about a little boy on a bike so I say have you seen my little boy. She says yeah he's way down there so I start taking off running. She yells you need a car he is way down there. I yell I don't have a car. Do you think the security guy in the car comes to help noooooo stupid idiot. So I'm running mind you I'm not a runner and I'm way out of shape so I see this police man and I flag him over so he get's all of the information and takes off down the street. I'm thinking Austin must have gone home swear words are running through my head and coming out of my mouth. I'm asking people that I see if they've seen a little boy. NO, NO, NO what where is he did somebody grab him swear swear swear and swear some more. The cop finds me again gets my address calls other cops etc. I'm totally freaking out meanwhile trying to run home as fast as I can. I get home and I think he's got to be here he has to be sure enough he's not home aaaaaahhhhh. I jump in the car go to the neighbors where he has a friend he's not there either. I start going back towards the park and the cop finds me and yells He's at the park! OH hallelujah!. So I'm trying to drive the speed limit mind you it's 35 then the officer yells something at me on his mega phone I think it something like slow down the speed limit is 35. I don't know but I get there and he's with my friend rachel, she has her daughter and my other 2. So Austin had just continued riding around the park yelling and crying for me like he was supposed to. My neighbor jumped in her car, my other neighbor jumped on her bike and went up the paseo checking places where cars couldn't go. How awesome are the people I know. Needless to say I've learned several lessons today. 1 - Keep all kids in eye sight and tell them to stay close if walking around the park. 2 - if you get separated find the security guy and stay with them 3 - Don't believe the lady who tells you he's way down the street. 4 - drive the speed limit even if your kid is lost 5 - It's good to involve the whole neighbor because then you feel more embarrassed 6 - It's good to have a lot of friends who will drop everything and help you out 7 - Stay in shape because if you have to run to save your kids you don't want to let them down because you couldn't keep running a mile home. Hope your day is not as eventful as mine.
