Earlier today I had to run to an appointment and when I got into my car, I realized I did not have my phone in my bag so I ran back inside. I searched the kitchen, my office and anywhere else I might have set it down.
After a quick search, I left without my phone and thought maybe it dropped behind my car seat. When I double checked, I was wrong-my phone was no where to be found.
A few hours later I started to get ready to go out to dinner with some girlfriends, I realized I really did not know where my cell was so I decided to call it to see if it was even in the house.
I call and it takes a minute but as I walk through the house I begin to hear my cell ringing. I go in the direction of the ringing and search the nearby counters and stools but nothing. Then I get closer to the sound and seriously freak out. My phone is in my trash can and I cannot even see it.
I live in Virginia Beach, VA where it rarely snows. When the weatherman usually calls for snow we usually get sleet instead or maybe a dusting. The last time we had a snow fall over an inch or two was in 1989 and prior to that was 1980. We really don't get enough snow to make a snowman or have a snowball fight very often, but this weekend we did get a great snow.
I had an opportunity last weekend to go out of town for one evening with two of my girlfriends to the Outer Banks of North Carolina which is about an hour and a half from us. I have not been on an overnight trip with these girlfriends for 10 years, and it was in our pre-children days- so a quick day away from our family responsibilities was deserved and needed.
This past weekend my husband and I took our kids camping with 8 other families. We have three boys that are 7,5 and 2.5 years old and we knew it would be a busy trip. The evening we arrived we got the tent put up and cooked our dinner in the nick of time. A thunder storm came through and we sat in our car until it passed about an hour and a half later.
