Last week was one heck of a week for me. I honestly couldn’t tell if I was coming or going. It was the first week of school so the entire household was adjusting to being back on an early morning schedule. Switching back to that schedule also meant adjusting at work since I work with children. We had to get back into the swing of picking kids up. We had new routes and new kids added to the pick up list. I was also dealing with a sick child. After an emergency room visit and a doctor visit it was concluded that the child had a virus. She is feeling better now.
La La Land Mommy: I Want A Do Over
But the biggest thing that happened was for two days I lost my wallet at work. I left it in my cabinet and forgot that it was there. Ya see when I go on my route I am not allowed to carry my purse so I take my wallet out I simply left and went home. I went back the next day to get it I realized that my cabinet was unlocked and my wallet was gone. I just started freaking out because everything I basically needed for life was in there on down to my bank cards. I went home so defeated and upset with myself that I made such a stupid mistake. When I went to bed that night I prayed that my wallet would be found. I cancelled one of my cards and locked the other. When I woke the next day I cancelled the other one. Then I began the process of trying to get info on how to get a replacement license. I found out that I could use my income tax and either my health or car insurance policy. Now I had to decide if I wanted to go to the DDS and wait in the long lines or order online. If I went in I would get a paper license with my picture on it until my official license came in. If I ordered online I would get a paper license without my picture on it. So to help with my decision I called my job to see if my license needed to have a picture on it. So when my boss picked up I began to ask her which they preferred when my other boss came on the phone and said that they had found my wallet. I was super thrilled. I just wish I had found out before I had cancelled my cards.
I just wish that I could just get a do over on the decisions I made last week. For example I would never get so caught up in what I was doing that I would opt to not put my wallet back in my purse like I usually do. That one decision could have cost me so much. I am so glad that it didn’t and all it cost me was the time I have to wait to replace my bank cards. I rarely carry cash on me and this is the reason why.
Girl – I’m sending you virtual hugs. That sucks…but be positive. It’s not the end of the world. You will get everything replaced. Something good will happen soon that will make you forget this whole wallet saga. xoxoxo
I’m just glad I survived it.
What a week for you
It’s always not easy adjusting to school routine once more
Sorry about your purse
I can imagine how stressful it can be
All the same, what has happened has happened
Look forward to a better week
Thank you so much for stopping by. Yep I just picked myself up and moved on. It wasn’t easy though.
Sounds like you went through the ringer last week. Thank goodness you survived and were able to motivate all of us to get through the tough times and start fresh.
It was definitely one heck of a week. I didn’t think I would survive but I am so glad I did.
Rough weeks are tough. I’ve definitely been there. I switch to my school schedule in a few weeks and I’m dreading it. Summer has been too good to me! When tough time come it’s always good to learn the lesson from them. Maybe you can wear a fanny pack. That isn’t a purse.

Yes! I’ve been looking for a stylish fanny pack that I can wear instead of carrying a purse or my wallet for work.
I understand exactly how you feel we all go through tough weeks sometimes, but I’m glad you were able to get past it.
Yes I am glad I got past it too. It taught me a lot.
I’m SO sorry that happened to you! I could feel your stress and frustration. As I was reading this, it reminded me to take copies of the important items in my wallet. I do that from time to time, just in case…
That is a great idea.
This happened to me on more than one occasion. I decided to sign up for Apple Pay so that I would be caught out the house hungry again.
That is a great idea. I might have to do that.
Glad they found it at work and you didn’t have to get new everything! I have those days when Im doing everything and trying to remember everything and totally forget something important. Its okay, we all have those days or weeks! Hope this week has been better
Thank you so much for your support. It was definitely rough but I’m glad I survived.
We all have bad work days/weeks. I’m glad you were able to find your wallet.
Ugh, we all have tough weeks. I’m glad yours at least ended in some wins! Cheers to next week being better
Yes I definitely had a few wins. Getting my wallet back was the ultimate one.
Yes, love I completely understand. When I have a hard day I always look forward to the next day so I can erase start refreshed! Those experiences have often occurred with my baby. Sometimes mommies just need to start from the beginning.

I’ve had so many of those experiences with my kids. Knowing there is a new day makes me feel better.
