So, I've been losing my mind lately. At least that's got to be the explanation. Let me try to explain.
Scenario No. 1: Pregnant wife wants Chick-fil-A. Accommodating husband gets ready to drive to Chick-fil-A, and emulating and daddy-worshiping toddler wants to tag along. Fine and alrighty. Order food. Pay for food using debit card, get receipt and debit card in return, get food, drive off. Stop at light and reach for debit card to put back in wallet. Could not do so immediately because tagalonging (er, taggingalong) toddler wanted his lemonade right then. Turn around. Make sure debit card isn't on the ground in the drive-thru lane. Get home. Do frantic search. Eat chicken sandwich but don't enjoy it. Use flashlight to search car again. Find debit card wedged between impossibly tight quarters between driver's seat and front console. Crisis averted.
Scenario 2: While driving home from lunch (my, we seem to always be eating something), when tired toddler falls asleep. Pregnant wife has bright idea to go to Braum's (here we go again) and get some soft-serve frozen yogurt cones (in "twist" flavor). Go in, use restroom because I had way too much water at lunch. Little freaked out about using the doorknob on the way out so I use my shirt in opening the door. Order cones. Move wallet from secure location near my butt to front pocket for easy access. Get two cones. Suavely pull out debit card and pay, receive receipt and debit card and place them in my front pocket once again. Go to car. Hand wife her cone. Eat, enjoy, drive around until we're done eating and then we go home. Get home. Extract toddler from car seat and transplant into his bed without waking him up. Do other household stuff. Realize, suddenly, that my wallet is gone. Get in car (without a driver's license on my person!) and see if missing wallet was in the Braum's parking lot (this, after we called to see if they'd found a wallet). No dice. Went back home and searched everywhere!!! for multiple times. Went as far as making a list of what I remembered was in the wallet so we could blitz the phone with card-canceling abandone. Was rechecking our bathroom, pulled out the laundry bin and didn't find it. Turned around to head out and WHAM! there was my wallet on the floor. I'm still not sure where it was, but I found it. The only explanation: aliens abducted my wallet. They also took a piece of my mind with them.
Oh, and after getting groceries at Wal-Mart, I got back to my car, unloaded the groceries and then realized I really had to pee. Like right now! No time to limp carefully back into the store. Home is 12 minutes away. So I opened the driver's and rear passenger door and whizzed in the parking lot while using both doors for cover. Wonder what I would have done had a vehicle or person had approached from my left, unprotected flank. A first for me (at Wal-Mart). Word to the wise: those little security golf-cart thingees have a way of sneaking up on you. Look both ways before letting loose.
I thought I lost my mind when I was preganat. Maybe it's just sympathy brain loss?
Heh. I was gonna say the same thing, Amy! Stuff like that was happening to me all the time when I was pregnant. I think there may be some pregnancy osmosis going on.
::pulling out the bullhorn:: BACK AWAY FROM THE PREGNANT LADY!
LOL! If that is what it is, it should clear up fairly soon...
What exciting adventures. I hope you don't do any repeats. And I wonder if you got a lecture from the security guy at Wal-Mart
Wondering if Wal-mart still has their parking lot cameras online... :P
Did you really pay for two ice cream cones with your debit card? Carry some cash, man! :-)
You whiz a lot while out in public, eh? Reminds me of my new puppy. We have had him for three days. Please tell me you didn't really do that in wal-mart parking lot?!!!
Heh, there's a theme here. I was going to say mind loss occurs after you become a parent.
aliens most def abducted your wallet. and your bladder. i don't blame you for peeing in the parking lot, i won't use walmart bathrooms. i am always saddened by the lack of cleanliness. granted. i don't like walmart and i don't go frequently. but when i am there, somehow, i need to go, and i refuse b/c the potties are gross.
pee in the lot of walmart. they deserve it. =0)
Is it just me or does it feel a little icky to think of a Cutlet eating a nugget?
OMG..you peed in the Wal-mart parking lot??
I think this is why celebrities always get caught doing embarrassing stuff in public. Nature calls...
