Has Anyone Seen My Keys???

For the 3rd time this week, my keys are not on my person! The first two times, it was a fairly easy fix. First time, I locked them in the van when I got out to go to Barnes and Noble. Called Andy and asked for a rescue. He said he'd get there "as soon as I can." I told him it was a good thing I'd done it at the mall! At least I had something to do! 8 books and 1 magazine, various CDs from Sam Goody (going out of business), and 1.5 hours later . . . .I was back in the van.

I was quite embarassed when I left them in the ignition again that afternoon with the van parked in the garage. Took me 10 minutes to think "could they be in the ignition again???" ROFL

This morning, got Alaina all ready for western day at school. Went to grab my keys. . .they weren't there. Not on the kitchen counter/bar where I usually put them, not on top of the dryer (another favorite spot), not in the pockets from yesterday's jeans, not in the couches, not in the purse, not in the ignition! SIGH . . .those things are LOST! I had them at the house last night. We did go out to dinner and I didn't drive, but not sure how I would've lost them there (I did call to see if they found any . . . NOPE). Possibly the trash can? Although I don't know how they would've ended up there and one of us not hear it happen! Unfortunately, the trashmen had already been around by the time I figured all this out!

So I called the neighbor, asked if she could take Alaina and I to Alaina's school. She asked for a couple minutes to get ready and then we could go. Well . . .she went out to her car to leave, and hers wouldn't start! ROFL .. . we're in bad shape now!

I did get my SIL to take us to the school, and thankfully, she's taking me back to pick up Alaina in a bit.

I, however, am still frantically searching the house for my little set of keys!

Last time I lost my keys, it was at the PO. I wasn't driving that day either. Stopped in to send out a package, got back in the car with my sister and moved on. I went back and looked there, and they said they hadn't gotten any keys turned in. A YEAR later, they called me. . . I had a club membership on my key ring. . .and lo and behold they found my keys!

Sure hoping it doesn't take a year this time!
