RIP Twizzler Monkey

Olivia has been having a tough time with our runs lately. Right around 45 - 50 minutes she starts throwing a fit. Luckily I am usually about 10 - 15 min from home at that point, but yesterday she threw a major crying fit, worst yet. It was probably due to her being up a long time by that point and she was also hungry. Either way, she carried on so badly that I had to take her out of the stroller and walk with her in my arms the rest of the way home. That was a workout in itself. When I went to get her out of her stroller, I noticed Mr. Twizzler Monkey had vanished. I imagine it was during the big part of her fit, she probably threw poor unsuspecting monkey out on his little red monkey butt. I think it was at the school in the grass at least, because that is when she got out of hand and when I was running into the sun so I would not have noticed the flailing red arms as I ran over them. My only hope is that if a lawnmower comes this weekend that it be quick for the poor little guy. Perhaps tomorrow morning I will dispatch a brief and small search for his limp little body. Either way, I don't think after he has been decomposing for a night that I will let Olivia have him again even if I do find him. But I just have to know. Maybe he has become the proud new toy of a happy dog. I will miss you my little red friend. Go be with the other monkey angels. Eww... That means he has wings. My nightmare!!!! Be gone winged red creature, BE GONE!!!
