For Reals!?!!!!

Today was one of those days...

It was supposed to be a day off.

I spent my time waking up.

I finally made my way down stairs around 8:30...

On the fridge was the sweetest note!

A simple reminder that my hubby is the most fabulous hubby of all! {love}

Letting the boys out

working on dishes

catching up on blogs and email

{Megan thanks for the sweetest, most thoughtful email. You really made my day!!}

Posting about my challenges this year.

We were supposed to have a meeting at work

reviewing the past year....

I made sure to arrive around 10:30

We had anticipated booking our Monrovia order wouldn't take so long.

2 hours later I asked Grant if he still wanted to hold our meeting.

Still working on our order with Monrovia...

Grant wanted to put it off for another day or two.

Unfortunately it was 2 hours at work when I wasn't absolutely needed.

Borrowed the truck and hurried home to finish the yard work for the year.

{I love having access to the dumpster at work}

Picking up the boys messes, raking leaves, cleaning out the garden, loading all the trimmings from the front yard and mowing the back yard.

Around 2:30 I was in the back yard working and heard a garbage can being rolled.

I figured it was one of the neighbors bringing their trash can back to their house.

Our trash can was still out on the road

I figured I'd bring it back to the house once I was done in the back yard.

3:00 I finally finished with all the yard work.

Grab my purse and keys 

Ready to head back to the store and dump everything.

Trash can ..... NOWHERE to be found!!! 

Seriously?!

My text to Mitch read - um our trash can disappeared!

Mitch called and told me he'd call the city and see if they had anything to say.

Did you know a new trash is going to cost us $225!!!!

I don't know about you... But that is outrageous!! 

How can you not be angry about that?! 

Stolen trash can and raped for a new one!?!

Another call to waste management...

turns out if there is a police report filed it will only cost us $53 something.

A call to the police for a report.

The kind officer took my report... 

and informed me, it'll take a FEW days to get it filed.

{.... excuse me officer but it only takes a few minutes to file a ticket... We would like a new trash can}

Needless to say it was the cherry on top of my not ideal day off.

Yes I accomplished a lot in the yard.

HOWEVER who steals a trash can!??!!!

Do you realize how much you need a trash can?! 

We realized very quickly how often you use it... need it.

PLUS the ATM denied my withdrawal for our car payments. 

which mean I had to go into the branch....

wait in a LONG line

Apparently our withdrawal amount dropped on the ATM for no reason.

I was ready to freak out and cry talking with the guy at the bank...

Waiting in traffic and finally making to pay our car payments.

It was a rough day.

At least I had the sweetest note from my hubby this morning 

and a super yummy chai this afternoon.

PS. My crock pot is my best friend on days like today.

Wish us luck with our trash can.

We are in desperate need of one right now.

Who in their right mind STEALS a trash can?!!! Really!!!
