i'm losing my mind. seriously. it's scary. before i tell you about the bag, i have to preface this story with a side note...last week i did something that i thought was being helpful, but actually was really dumb. like, we could have been out $6000 dumb. i know. it got fixed. but, for about 12 hours pat and i thought it wasn't going to (and it was ALL my fault and just pure stupidity)...this man has SO much patience to put up with me!
so you see the turquoise bag in the bottom right corner?? it was 8:30 pm at dulles international airport. in the baggage claim area. we thought the daniel's were going to come out here...they came out further down the hallway, so when we saw them we all took off to see them! AND LEFT MY BAG SITTING RIGHT THERE!!! for like, an hour!!!
as we were getting ready to leave at 10 pm (on a WED NIGHT! with 6 DONE kids!) i realize i don't have my bag. and it's not where i left it (duh!) and it has my other 2 lenses for my camera AND the keys to the car! ha!!! pat's face was priceless. he handled it SO much better than i would have if things had been reversed (as always!)
after 30 minutes of searching, talking to random people in uniforms and NO police!! (what the heck?!? it's an INTERNATIONAL airport!! where are the police?? where's all our crazy security?!?) we finally found someone to come and look in lost and found (it was closed, but officials can still put stuff in there). AND IT WAS THERE! with EVERYTHING in it! seriously. my smile could NOT have been bigger! i'm SO SO thankful for honest people. and that i have my bag!!
but, now, i'm really having a hard time doing anything! i don't trust myself at ALL. i double check everything i'm doing and ask pat SO many questions (you told me to get this car's oil changed, right? you asked me to set this meeting up on this date, right?)
i'm going nuts and it doesn't feel good.
oh, well.
3 day weekend ahead! i've put a lot of {fun!} expectations on myself for it {fun recipes, crafts, things to do together} so we'll see how that goes! here's to hoping i don't lose my head! :-) have a GREAT weekend!!!

I would so do the same thing! And my husband would have the same reaction. Thank God for honest people!!
Oh my goodness! I just told Kim about this, and we both knew right away that Kim would have seen the bag on the ground thirty seconds after I put it there and picked it up.
This is why God gave us the husbands He did, Courtney. Apparently, He knows what He is doing.
But I totally get the paranoia you are going through. I went through it for a bit after I locked my keys in the cars one time. Obsessive purse checking, checking again, check one more time. It's not a fun head space to be in. Praying that it passes quickly for you.
I recently left my purse at IKEA. If you have ever been to one, you can imagine the panic stricken moment when I discovered that it was not in the car with us as we drove home. It to was in the lost and found with everything in it. So thankful!!
