oh my god. I saw that Con finished his homework and he was not at his desk. I walked the film room to do something and he was not back. I thought he must have been in the back with this other 13 year old boy that is here that he was playing with. His father is the manager of the acreage/ commercial part in the back. Earlier, he asked permission to go down the escalator to go with the other boy to mail something. He is usually really good about telling us if he is going somewhere we cannot see him.
It has been about an hour. I went to check on him again. He was not at either desk that he should have been at. I walked the plant. I called out his name at the door to the men's restroom, then started to panic, tearand hyperventilate. My head is killing me. I stopped in the break room to calm down and clear my head for a second so I could figure out what to do first. Plus, I didn't want to sob like a jackass at work.
When I came out a minute later, Connor was coming around the corner. He heard me call his name into the men's restroom because he was right where he was supposed to be, but under the desk so he could see his gameboy better.
He apologized for scaring me.
There is no worse feeling than not knowing where your kid is. Jesus.
Note to self. Look under the desk before completely freaking out.

I say she sticks to her usual grossout tactics and covers him in somethin' smelly (but distinctive :-*). That way she can just...literally sniff him out. XD!!!
