I guess I should more appropriately say I'm losing "things." In one day I've already lost three pretty important things. My phone, my wallet, and my dog.
My phone showed up easily enough at the bottom of the laundry basket. My wallet however was a different matter. I actually didn't even know I was missing it till a guy called me from the Wal-Mart parking lot and said he had it! I'm amazed he even tracked me down since my drivers licence is still from California and there was no contact info in there. Luckily he found the card of the painters who worked on our house in there. He called them and they had my number. He was nice enough to bring it to me at the house since I couldn't leave with Teya napping. I had a good amount of cash in there and all my credit cards but not one thing was missing. He was so nice, he just handed it to me and said, "welcome to Minnesota."
And then if that wasn't enough I also lost my dog. Our front door is very tempermental and if you don't lock it, it can pop back open with the wind. Well that's exactly what happened and Monty took advantage and left the house without me even knowing! Who knows how long he was out there, all I know is that I came downstairs and the door was open and he was gone. Once again, thank goodness for nice Minnesota people! Our neighbor saw him wandering around and brought him back. I'm glad she recognized him (we've only been here for 10 days!) because he wasn't wearing any tags so if someone else found him he would've been long gone!
So now I feel like captain flake and I'm keeping an eagle eye on my children lest by any means I should lose one of them!

Scary! But I'm glad all of your "things" were found in the hands of trustworthy people!
You poor thing! I can totally relate, I lose my keys at the bottom of my diaper bag ALL the time. I am glad I don't have a dog, or I'd probably lose it too!
Mercy girl!!! You sound like me. I am always calling my husband at work to see if he knows where I put ____ fill in the blank. Those cell phones are always disappearing. Glad you have retrieved all that was lost.
I think this is just a side effect of having small children. At least that's the excuse I use. How cool that the people in Minnesota are so nice!
