Where's all the burp cloths?~Part Deux

Thank you all so much for your concern and care regarding my daughter's lovey. I wanna hug you all and have you over for chocolate chip cookies.

I am waiting to win this precious bid. I found out that the person bidding against me is someone I kinda know. That's what I get for putting feelers out to people 'I think' I know. I'll leave it at that. You can make up your own stories in your head about how I feel about that. Your ideas aren't half as great as the real way that I feel. I haven't acknowledged it yet, for fear that this person might be slightly mental? It's just a very weird scene. I am totally weirded out here. I'll just say, what mother out there that's a quarter normal would try to take away another child's comfort? Knowing full well how important it is...

I also came in contact with another woman who actually makes them. (I won't even say where I found her for fear that I might be sabotaged again.) She has four pink gingham burps that I told her I want...desperately. I am waiting for her reply. Then, in desperation and on the verge of shaking, I e-mailed Gerber and asked them if there was any way they could supply me with the actual frickin' burp cloth that is from their company. I am waiting for their reply too.

So, that is where I am at this moment in time. I appreciate all of your support. Thank you for showing me that I am not a freak and thank you for helping me see that this is an important object in my daughter's life that as her mother, I should fight for. I will get her these burps, if it is that last thing I ever do. Moms all over the world understand me.

Except maybe for one.

I have finally crawled out from the massive piles of laundry around here to see some daylight and start blogging once again. (I had my sister post for me while I was gone, I'd saved up a few for emergencies, yes I know that's psychotic but you know . . .) so I can finally read again and comment. Good luck in your Burpie Quest, we're all pulling for you. :)

You are totally the best mom ever.

Seriously...a perfect example of your love for PSF.

I hope you win it! Though wouldn't it be funny if she recovered from the trauma of losing it before you get the new one?!

I am pulling for you. My daughter has a favourite teddy bear, who is now discontinued, and I'm so paranoid about losing him, I don't let him leave the house!!!

Good luck Janet! I hope you are able to get many more burpies!!
