A month ago Jason received free tickets to watch the Redrocks Gymnastic team at the U. I wasn't feeling quite up to a big crowd that day (feeling pregnant I guess) so he decided to take the boys without me. Dad + 2 kids - mom = chaos. This is never a great idea, but I really needed some R&R. I packed the diaper bag with snacks, drinks, treats, hats, scarves, gloves...the whole she-bang! As they were leaving I mentioned to Jason to PLEASE watch Silas and make sure that he doesn't leave his gloves behind, or drop them because they are special thermal gloves, extra long, and extremely hard to find...not to mention VERY expensive. After 2 1/2 hours of peace and quite they all returned. The kids still breathing, and Jason still had hair! The first thing Jason says to me is "Don't be mad....but Si lost a glove". Really! "Sigh" R-E-A-L-L-Y!! Well fast forward to last night and once again we were all up at the Huntsman Center to see the Redrocks, this time with 3 in-laws and 4 nieces and nephews in tow. We were in quite a hurry because we were running late so we were hustling around weaving in and out of hundreds of people swarming the sidewalk. We got caught at the street light waiting to cross and as we were standing there Jason happened to look down, and wouldn't you know he found Silas' glove! Yes, the glove he lost 4 weeks ago.....4 weeks of snow, rain, mud and muck, crowds of people, street sweepers, groundsmen....and yet it was still there, like it had been waiting all this time to be taken home. Is that crazy or what! Maybe we should head to Vegas....luck like this happens once in a lifetime. Maybe it will come in three's and we have 2 more to cash in on. I'll just keep thinking that maybe I have a filthy rich relative somewhere who needs to unload a couple million.
