I sent him off to school this morning and I didn't walk all the way down where I normally do because he's 8 and gets a tad embarrassed that his mom still walks down with him. So for the most part, I sit on my steps at my appartment trying to listen if I hear him scream. Well, I just watched "Without a Trace" were a child missed her bus and she was kidnapped and at the end of the story they found her dead.
The school calls me asking if Zach was home from school sick...trying not to panic I say "no, he was suppose to have been there, I sent him this morning". They said "hmmm, I wonder why Mrs. Daily counted him absent". She puts me on hold. Ok, I haven't freaked out just yet, but there for a brief moment the images of that show Without a Trace was coming back to mind which made my mind start down the panic mode. That 5 mins felt like a half hour. Even though I didn't panic, the questions kept forcing in my head "what if she comes back and tells me he's not there?" Pictures flashed in my head that he was down at the bus stop all beat up or tied up somewhere. I had to hit my head to make those images go away....
Maybe I should stop watching Without a Trace for a while...
