Thursday

Thank goodness!

So, I lost $100 on Tuesday. It was a really busy day and I was running from place to place, and in the shuffle I picked up $100 in cash that Collin's wrestling team earned in a fundraiser last weekend. And somehow, I lost it somewhere in between my car and our front door (which is like 20 feet.) I didn't even notice until like 5 hours after I must have dropped it. So we went out and searched with a flashlight for like half an hour and searched everywhere (including garbage cans) in our house it could possibly be. No luck! So, for a last ditch, I made a sign that said "Lost: $100" with all the details of where and when it was lost and that it was for a fundraiser, with Collin's phone number on it. LUCKILY, someone called! It was our next door neighbors who had picked it up. I guess they were going to make a sign to put up also because it's not every day you find that much cash lying around! They called right away after I had put the sign up, and returned it to us. Anyways, the moral of the story is that people are awesome! I was so glad to see that in a freaky situation like this, someone was kind and responsible enough to give us that money back, even though it would have also been easy to keep it. Whew!

I'm so glad you found the money. I hate losing things and that was a big thing to lose!

Oh I feel for you- so glad someone gave it back!!! I totally know the feeling... in fact just thinking about it I lost $100 in High School while I was in my gym class (My dad had given to me to buy postage stamps for him right after school), my purse got stolen on my honeymoon (Never did get anything back, but the person who stole it went on a road trip- Thank goodness for stolen CC protection), and then last time we went to lunch I had just lost my wallet at Target (fortunately someone was nice and turned it in with nothing missing!!) Okay after thinking of those I think I may have a problem! :)
