I was performing at...I know exactly how that feels. I was performing at a Renaissance faire and we were in between sets. Hundreds of people and none of them exactly normal. I was a single mom. Anyway, had 4 y.o. in tow looking for lunch gave her my skirt to hold onto. I march off looking for food and get to chinese booth, turn around to ask dd what she wants and she's NO WHERE! I dash around looking for her for 1 or 2 minutes. Can't find her. Realize I need more eyes. I've got 20 dancers under my dominion, I race back to our camp to enlist aid of everyone. I'm panicked and crying. I see first my assistant director. "Quick," says I "I've lost dd. Help."<BR/><BR/>AD tells me. "It's okay, I've got her."<BR/><BR/>Cleave dd to breast. Hyper-ventaling. "Where were you? What happend?"<BR/><BR/>DD had let go to look at something and when she looked up I was gone. She knew where our camp was and that she'd be safe there and went there directly. Smart, Smart Girl.<BR/><BR/>Says I, "Don't ever let go of my skirts again." Cleave dd to chest again. "I'm so proud you knew where to go sweetie. You are very smart!"<BR/><BR/>So, I hear you.Jass (Jasmine Rowe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15255063989898923666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1161026398935096492006-10-16T13:19:00.000-06:002006-10-16T13:19:00.000-06:00Cindy:Ack.

I unlocked the car, told Boy to get in his side, and went round the other side with Baby. I snapped her seat in, quickly because I could see that Boy wasn't paying attention and I couldn't see him. I straightened up, and he was gone. Gone. I called his name, people looked at me, nobody concerned, all sauntering through their day as though everything was fine. I called his name again, and started looking between cars, up and down the sidewalk. I felt threads beginning to loosen and break - the ones that hold me together, the ones that make up the fabric of my life. The car was separated from the Pet Store only by a sidewalk - and Boy had, for whatever unfathomeable reason children do these things, gone back into the vestibule. He'd seen me through beginning to panic, and he was wide-eyed and pale. If only for that moment, he looked just like me.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16442184872395803612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23749528.post-1161019874204234442006-10-16T11:31:00.000-06:002006-10-16T11:31:00.000-06:00Renee:It did seem like forever.

I'm so glad you found her relatively quickly (although I'm sure it seemed like forever).<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the detailed feedback and agent interest. Even if it wasn't for this book, that's still very encouraging!<BR/><BR/>Hope the cold passes quickly!<BR/><BR/>-ReneeRenée (R.E.)
