the KEYS

So today I was about to loose my mind... I lost Jason's keys, I can't even blame it on Claire because I did it! Quick story...

The 3 of us were running over to Macey's this afternoon, Jason took my keys to go start the car then he came and got Claire, I then grabbed Jason's keys so I could lock the house door. I then went and dumped some trash and walked back around to the car, got in the car and we drove to Macey's. We did our shopping, and was gone for 20 minutes (When we got back someone had parked in our spot- Very Annoying!) Went back inside the house with my keys, about an hour later Jason was ready to go to work and asked me where his keys were- he checked my purse and my jacket pocket, no luck. I then told him to check the car, nothing was there! I have no clue where the keys are!!! They have to be outside somewhere since I locked the door with them. I go back out side check the car again, re-trace my exact steps while checking in the snow too. Still nothing. Now I am thinking what if it went in the trash can (yuck) So Jason and I proceed to look in the big trash can and we see nothing. I called Macey's to see if someone turned them in- no luck! I then drove over to the Macey's parking lot thinking that they fell out of the car while we were getting out- no luck. At this time Jason is late for work, oh and did I mention his work keys are on the same key ring!!! So I'm freaking out, he leaves for work. I put Claire down for a late nap and I go back outside and search the snow and the trash, I then get the trash bag I threw in there and search through that- nothing! Then I remembered we parked in front of other stores so maybe someone might have turned them into one of those stores. So after Claire wakes up we get in the car and head over to check the other stores out. As I am turning into the parking lot I can hear the sound of keys sliding around... I found the keys they were in the car the whole time! 3 hours of stressing out how we were going to replace all the keys on his key ring.
Can you see the keys in this picture??

No you can't because our dashboard has a very high edge to it so every time we looked in the car we didn't bother to look on the dashboard. I couldn't believe it, but was very relieved to have found them

I'm SO glad you found them!!! What a frustrating day for you. (digging through trash even... no fun)

OH my gosh, I totally know how you feel. It's a relentless, frantic search until they are found. And they are usually in a place where you are like...really? Didn't I look there? Ugh! Thank goodness for a happy ending! :)

You forgot the part when Claire woke up and said "mommy sad?"

I'm SO glad you found them!! I can imagine how stressful it was, but I love happy endings!
