Who would think something as simple as car keys can cause a day to get started on the wrong foot? Here is the run down on the KEY drama: Brynlee started Pre-K this week, and we load the car at 8:30 am, exit the driveway at 8:35 am, in the school drop off line by 8:42, and dropped off by 8:50. WELL, today we got to 8:30 am: load the car, but the rest of our schedule did not happen as planned.
After buckeling William and Brynlee in their seats, I realized I did not have my car keys.
Therefore, the events to follow:
8:33 am- I am in the house looking in all the typical places (key hook (98% of the time it is here), purse, kitchen counter, dresser, etc.
8:38 am- trying not to panic, back to the car, looking under seats, in pockets on the car doors, in the kid's car seats. Meanwhile, Brynlee is being like mommy and asking: Where did you have them last? We will just have to take Daddy's car (not an option, Daddy is at work with his car). Mommy, just remember where you put them.
8:42 am- back inside searching all rooms
8:48 am- back to the car. Brynlee asking: Have you found them yet?
8:55 am- Get the kids out of the car. Remembering, I do have a spare set, but William hid those 1 month ago, and I have yet to find them.
9:00 am- Thinking did I throw them away, I glance in the trash; I think: NO. I decide to call the school and tell them we will either be late or not there today.
9:05-9:45 am- I turn every basket, toy box, etc inside out and finally find the spare set in Brynlee's dress up box.
10:00 am- Brynlee arrives at school.
NOW
6:00 pm- We are all sitting at the table eating dinner. Josh and I are discussing where they could be. I say: I have often found myself throwing away things by accident, but don't you think I would hear the keys make a "thump" if I threw them away?
7:00 pm- Wonderful husband digs through the large trash with poopy diapers, food scraps, etc. and finds the keys with a string of gum stuck to them that William decided to chew yesterday.
There you have it: MY KEY DRAMA
