The Case Of The Missing Wallet

My wallet is missing and the memory of where it is missing is missing from my brain. My brain has been forgetting a lot lately. I couldn't remember where I put keys, cellphones, cups, and folders lately. Luckily when I misplace my cellphone if it is on, which, a couple times it was on vibrate and took me ten times longer to fine, but if the ringer is on it pretty to find by just calling it using the house phone. But, keys, cups, folders and a host of other things aren't easy since they don't have ringers. 

Yesterday I went to the grocery store. I forgot butter. I was lucky that's all I forgot and the bad part is I had made a list. But then again I also had a 9 year old and a chatty sister with me. So, it is incredible I came out just without butter. 

Which leads me to the case of the missing wallet. I had it when I left the store and it made it all the way home wallet safely tucked away in my sons backpack. I had bought stamps from the store. I love one stop shopping. So I stamped some cards for some kids I was mailing birthday cards too. A half a book of stamps later I was done. Stamps went back into the wallet. I keep them there so I won't loose them. It worked until I lost the wallet. My chatty sister and son walked to the corner store for some fruit roll ups. I took the wallet out took out some money handed it to her to get the fruit roll ups and the winning lottery ticket. OK, at least a lottery ticket. So, they came back and handed me the change and the winning lottery ticket. I totally remember putting all of that in my wallet and placing it on the crate/my makeshift table by my chair. Then it was dinner times and my chatty sister left right after. Then of course I had to do another 99 things before bedtime. I vaguely remember dreaming that I forgot my wallet in the front room. I think it as a dream cause I was too tired to remember.

Next morning, today, I rolled out of bed after sweating half the night and got showered and dressed, made breakfast got school started for my son and two hot flashes later I said oh I need another stamp cause I forgot to mail an Easter card. I walk over to where I thought my wallet should be. I looked and looked and sweated looking. So, I said to myself this is ridiculous I am not loosing my mind this much it was right there. I proceed to ask my mom, son and brother if by chance they spotted it. Everyone said what I thought they would say, no. I called my chatty sister same question same answer and then I had to hear a 20 minute synopsis of why she hated her job. I texted my nephew at work same question. 2 hours later same answer was texted back, nope.

I spent the majority of the day sweating and looking behind things, under things, beside things, all things. Things I forgot about that I still had. Nothing. I even checked toy boxes and rugs. 

I am hoping its found in a day or two cause I really would hate to find numbers to get replacement everything. I wish I could get replacement money if I don't find it. Yep, just wishful thinking about the money and the winning lottery ticket which is tucked in my wallet for safe keeping. 

So, until its found the case remains open. Just hoping this case doesn't turn into a cold case.
