As I fished through my purse at the Target check-out I felt what have become some familiar check-out feelings: embarrassment and annoyance. For the THIRD time in as many months, my wallet wasn't in my purse. So, for the THIRD time, I told the cashier that she would have to cancel my large order (which included some much-needed supplies), because I had no money. And, for the THIRD time, I marched back to my car, drove home and decided not to go back to Target because my impatient (but darling) child absolutely could not handle another trek through Target.
And it's all thanks to Ethan, who, because of an obsession with my credit cards, often pulls them out of my wallet then hides it under a pillow or deep inside a closet.

I'm sorry! That would make me so embarrassed...I just can't handle those kind of situations! I would probably never go back to target worried i would see that same checker and she would be like,"there's that lady who forgets her wallet when she comes shopping!" I'm a nerd!
what a stinker! that happened to me at the grocery store and the sad thing is it happened before i had kids.
i have that problem too! i just had to get a new id, debit card, and recommend because who knows where it is!
It's funny how kids like to get their hands on the important items... Kipp's nephew found his wallet once and threw it away- never to be seen again! So, if the pillows and closets turn up empty, check the garbage. What a pain to go through all the steps of shopping- for nothing!
Oh Meg I have done that too! Last week I locked my keys and cell phone in the car at the park. Good thing I was there with a friend!
At least you have a baby to blame it on. I can only blame situations like that on my absent mindedness :(
Sorry Meg. That sounds so Ben-like. We would find the keys a week or so after they had gone missing in his toy box or in the sock basket or somewhere else at a 1 year old height.

I'm so sorry! What a pain! It is hard enough to get to the store once let alone twice! Maybe we should get Ethan his own little purse and fake credit cards.
naughty little ethan, ditto on the garbage thing. that was caden's favorite hiding place too but thankfully it wasn't my wallet just my small kitchen apliances.
