All who wander are not lost . . .

But my debit card was . . .

I realized on Thursday that I hadn't seen my debit card lately. What made me realize this was that I had heard that a local hotel had some employees arrested for stealing debit and credit cards from rooms there. I had attended a meeting there Monday and Tuesday. The last time I could remember seeing my debit card was on Tuesday morning when I stopped and got gas on my way to the hotel. Friday night I thought to check my coat that I had worn on Tuesday, but no luck.

I was just planning on going to the bank to report the card stolen on Saturday morning when I did a quick search of my car and found it between the seats.

So, this morning, I had some spare time. I decided to spend it by going to the mall. I figured if I went to the mall, I had at least 2 stores I could check (with only getting out of the car once) for the software I was looking for. I got there and the software was at the first store . . . how cool was that? I decided to make it worth my while and go thru the mall anyways tho. Besides, Wyatt loves to wheel around in his stroller and people watch.

I noticed that today was the first day the Easter Bunny would make an appearance. I checked the time and we still had almost an hour to kill before the Easter Bunny showed up. So, we cruised around the mall until it was time.

Once it was time, we were first in line. He went straight to the big EB with no problem. Then, they discovered a problem with the camera. So, I took him back for a minute. They thought it was fixed, and he went back to the EB. Then, they decided it wasn't fixed and asked me to come back in a few minutes. We went over to some tables, had a bottle, and went back. Again, Wyatt went straight to the EB's arms. By this time, they were calling Wyatt by his name. Other kids in line were screaming "No" in fear. But, not Wyatt. He got his picture taken. I went to take him from the EB and he put a death grip on the EB and wouldn't let go. I had to pry his hands off of him. Then, the EB gave him a sucker which he looked confused about and handed to me. I told him to wave bye bye to the EB and he put his arms out to go back to the EB.

So, while all the kids in line behind us were crying, he wanted to stay. What a kid!

I'll have to scan the picture and post it later. Vista doesn't seem to like my scanner/printer.

After the mall, I met up with hubby to do a little shopping and then came home. Then, I had to go out to my mother-in-law's to pick up the car seat that broke 3 days after I bought it. I went to Wal-Mart and returned it and bought a different (and more expensive) one.

Once I got home, I held Wyatt for a little while he napped. Then, we went and visited the neighbors. Then, I loaded the software on to the computer, put Wyatt down for the night, did a little laundry, unloaded and reloaded the dishwasher, made bottles, helped the hubby get his fishing poles ready for tomorrow, fed the cat, took my meds (all 4 of them) and worked on this post. Tomorrow is another day . . . and full of chores. I need to do some housecleaning. I need to file our personal taxes, get Wyatt's stuff ready for the week, finish Wyatt's birthday invitations, etc.

But, this is it for tonight. Soon the meds will make me feel tired and numb.
