About me, my family and anything scrap related

Bad start to the day......

So it is 11.52 and I have already had a melt down and a bout of tears (now I know how the kids feel).  Why?  Now I am only telling you this so you don't ever do it and feel as silly as me.......

So today I drag myself out of bed, literally.  I have a pretty bad cold and feel lousy.  I am sure DH took to my head with a hammer through the night it is thumping so hard.
Normal morning routine.....take boys to school.....home for a quick coffee......take DD to kinder then head to the supermarket as DH needed some drinks and nibblies for work for some clients this afternoon.
Now I was going to come home and do my work, maybe scrap for half, take the dog for a walk and then go to the supermarket on the way home from picking DD up but no....I decided to go first thing.

So I am shopping for us for dinner tonight (home made pizzas) and a few bits for DH work.
Go to the register, unload two separate lots and then go to pay for the first and what, my purse is missing!!!!
You know that feeling when your heart is beating on the outside of your chest??
Now I will cut this very short as I spent the next half an hour backtracking (I knew I had it when I entered the store as I used a coin to get the trolley).
Searched the store, the carpark, all whilst ringing DH to cancel the cards and the store manager is going back through the surveillance tapes.
I was sure somebody had reached into my bag when I was distracted (I never take it off my shoulder but it has happened to a girlfriend too, somebody took the opportunity to reach in).
So I am still holding it together at this point.  I gave the manager my number etc and then drove to the Police Station to report it stolen.
Whilst doing that, still holding it together.....just.... the telephone rings.  Coles found my wallet amongst the groceries as they were taking them off the ledge to put them away........(it must have fallen out of my bag or I had taken it out and dropped it within the groceries????)
So then the tears came.
I felt silly, angry with myself, relieved and all in all, like I was losing it.
So I got into the car, had a melt down, pulled myself together, back to Coles to retrieve said wallet, rang hubby to tell him, (who had already cancelled all cards), drove home and here I am.
I have never ever ever lost my purse and I am so paranoid about making sure it is in my bag I check it numerous times when I am out shopping.

But now, to the lighter side of life.....

Here is a Bonus Sketch (created by the talented Julie Winks) over at Stuck?! Sketches (who have a funky new page design).  There are 4 fab sketches this month so you have plenty to chose from.  Hopefully you can fit them all in.
And this is me, the crazy lady who loses her purse.  (Kind of fitting this page popped up today. Maybe I need to add a subtitle and journaling now.)

And Color Combos Galore has a gorgeous new combo up today.  I just love these colors. You have to head over and see what the girls have created and give this combo a go yourself.


Do I keep you entertained at least??

  1. Gorgeous LO Jas, absolutely stunning.

    And I feel so terrible for you :( I know exactly how you feel. It's a horrible horrible feeling when your wallet isn't there. I remember getting to work one day and taking everyone's coffee orders because it was my turn, walking to the coffee shop, placing the orders and then NO WALLET! I absolutely FREAKED OUT. I went back to work, someone else paid, I went to my car, I called my parents to see if it was in my bedroom, I did everything! COULD NOT FIND IT! I was crying and so so annoyed at myself!

    And then my boyfriend finished work two hours later, got home, called me, and said "you left your wallet here last night". OMG!@!@!@! Gah!

    I feel your pain -hugs-

  16. Awww Jas... biggest hugs for you. Poor thing. That would have been so scary. I had a similar freak out recently when I thought I'd lost my phone. It was at home but I made DH ring it over and over and I was so frantic. We all have those moments. Glad you got it safe and sound. Rest up and feel better soon xo

  21. Oh my gosh! I am so sorry you had such a rough start to your morning!! How miserable!! I feel the need to share an experience with you...

    So, I had spent three CRAZY months at work horribly busy. My head was spinning and I could not think straight anymore. Well, one Saturday morning I decided not to work any additional overtime at work and proceeded to get up and take a long hot bath. I did get up, got undressed and realized I forgot my book in the bedroom, so I get dressed and retrieve my book to read in the bathtub. Well, I get back to the bathroom and get back into the bathtub with out taking my clothes off. So now I am submerged fully clothed!! Ugh. So, after finishing my bath, I needed to run pick up some groceries. I do all my grocery shopping, load everything in the car, drive the four miles home and realize I do not have my purse. I am in a HUGE panic as you mentioned and as quickly as possible drive the four miles back to the store. I realized I must have left my purse in the shopping cart, but when I got back to the store, my purse was not in the shopping cart. My heart was beating like crazy! I then went to the customer service desk and some nice lady had turned in my purse...everything was in it. Whew!!

    Sorry that was a long story, but I had to share!

    Anyway, I hope you feel better soon!!

  22. Oh my poor sweet friend...I feel so sad for you...we have all done the same silly things...once I took my groceries out the boot to take them inside, got distracted doing other stuff & dealing with those things that suddenly just "happen" with kids, then remembered I had to be somewhere & got everyone back in the car for the next round of collections & promptly reversed over all our supplies :) Seems so funny now but at the time crushed glass jars of peanut butter...no...not funny!!!

    These things happen when we are not ourselves but we are forced to carry on regardless...I am so sorry & hope that with the arrival of your new bed tomorrow you can climb into it, get cozy & take a nice long snooze to revive yourself!

    And your layout is lovely. Don't add any subtitle or journaling LOL...or if you do add in the awesome stuff you do get to achieve everyday & be proud :)

  23. OH NO Jas! i know exactly how you feel tho hon... I have done the same thing (altho hadn't cancelled the cards yet)... a cleaner found it eventually in the toilets as i had to rush out to take one of the kids and had put it down on the cistern of the toilet!
