I always plan for a perfect 1st Monday. It usually isn't but I still have hope. This afternoon, as I was getting everything ready for my "Perfect Monday" I had a few crises that came up that should have indicated that I should just call in sick today.
I grabbed my keys and began looking for my elusive debit card. I looked and looked and looked everywhere. Places I would never dream of putting it I looked. I looked in all pockets. I looked in the car. Thinking back, the last time I used the card was when I went to the store around the corner Friday. I am trying to remember what I wore and going thru the pockets of everything. I searched for a couple of hours. Still no debit card…
So I called the bank to cancel the card and reissue a new one. So I am questioned for usual information the bank asks like name, address, phone #, and last four # of social. They say I should have the card in 2 weeks and I then ask for rush service as usual. This time, they will send it out rush for a $5 fee if I can answer a few challenge questions. She first asked about what parish I lived in years ago and that was easy. Then she asked what state someone with my last name lived in. I told her I had no idea who that was. I passed the challenge and my card should be here Tuesday!
My debit card seems to hide from me at least 3 times a year. It is so easy to slip it in my pocket and not have to carry my purse or even put it in the console in the car. I wish I had a spare card because it always turns up. Now I am going to have to postpone the car wash and fuel up that were going to make my Monday morning go better.
So I decide I have enough gas for Monday and the car can just stay dirty. I will continue getting ready for the week. I make sure everything is in Hannah’s back pack, purse and gym bag are ready at door. I look for her lunch bag and then remember she left it at school.
As I take the clothes from the dryer something falls to the floor. Guess what it was???
Well at least I know we have clothes ready for tomorrow.
Forget the nice Sunday dinner. I think we will have hot pockets and brownies instead. I'm beat!
