A good morning turned bad : (

So even though I have been so exhausted to the point of collapse, I woke up this morning with a newfound surge of energy. I was going to take Analese to the mall to shop for a birthday gift for her little friend Anita who is 4 months older than her. We were all ready to go. We both looked cute and everything. I was going to put her in the car and I thought to myself, something is not right here. Why is my glove compartment open? Why is the center console of my car open? OK - why is my Garmin Nuvi and my ipod gone??? Yes, sometime in the overnight or early morning hours somebody took $600 of stuff out of my car as it was parked in my driveway. The sad thing is, I ALWAYS lock the car. Yesterday when Analese and I got home from Little Gym, Lee came out to vacuum up some goldfish crackers that she had spilled in the car. This morning he confirmed that he did not lock the car when he finished vacuuming. So the ONE night that we leave the car unlocked we have a theft. I know it could be worse. The whole car could be gone, which is what happened to my brother-in-law a year ago or so when he was living in San Antonio. So Analese and I spent about an hour and a half waiting for the officer from the Sheriff's office. I filed the report with him. Interesting he had just come from another home in my neighborhood. A wallet was stolen from another car last night. Seems these thieves just go around checking for unlocked vehicles. And they got a huge payday from my unlocked vehicle last night. I feel so creepy and violated right now. I'm just trying to count my blessings. Our family was safe. Our home was not broken into. It is just STUFF, and I will try not to be mad at Lee for leaving my car unlocked. (Although I may ask to use HIS Garmin Nuvi now). So now it is almost 1:00. Analese just ate lunch. She needs a nap before we go to another Chuck E Cheese party. And we still have not gone to the mall. And that energy I felt earlier? All gone gone bye bye.
