So as I was sitting here yesterday picking and choosing which pictures would make the 'cut' onto my scanner, eventually ending up in my blog, I noticed that I was missing a roll of film. The 'IMPORTANT' roll. You see this had pictures of my FIL (pretty good ones I think), my SMIL feeding the kids (It was really cute), the kids on the playground at the resort, pics of the beach (I think) and of course, the all important, PICTURES OF SEA SHELLS!!!!! I was heartbroken. I literally tore my house apart (ok not literally, but still..) I opened every suitcase we had and dumped it all onto my bed, I pulled every toy out of the kids' backpacks, I dumped books onto the kitchen table, I went over my new car with a fine tooth comb (found a paperclip, a quarter, and a dime, hooo hoo!). NOTHING! I called DH, frantic that I *HAD* to find that roll of film. Then I cursed myself for not buying a digi-cam sooner. Then I pleaded with my Granny to PLEASE HELP ME FIND IT!!!!!! (ok actually it sounded more like, "Granny, PPPPLLLLEEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEE help me find that film, I RRREEEEAAAAALLLLLLLYYYYYYYY want it."). So finally, after tearing the house apart for a SECOND time and frantically calling DH to tell him that the film is gone *forever*. I start to walk upstairs to get my children back into bed, when what to my wandering eyes does apear? (no, not a sleigh and eight tiny reindeer) MY FILM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was laying ON THE FLOOR, next to the bags that I had dumped everything out of. The interesting part is; earlier I thought the dogs had gotten ahold of something to chew on (they picked that nasty habit up while we were gone) and I remember looking in that same spot! There was NO FILM there....COOL HUH?!
I love my Granny!!!!!!
*No, I am not a true freak, only freakish at times...you may NOT unsub now, just go about your daily routines and pretend this entry never happened...if on the other hand you're into this kind of thing, let me know I'm not alone

Behavior like that is classified as "normal" in my household
LOL...I know the feeling. I thought we had lost the roll of film that had the rainbows on it from our trip. Turns out, it was one of the rolls we already had developed, but the rainbows didn't show up. (Which sucks too, but better to know than to run around crazy looking for that film.)
You are not alone...you are SO not alone! Glad to hear you found it though!
Totally understand the spazz attack. Pictures tend to make people crazy.
