The art of Forgetfulness!

Trevor got paid yesterday, as he usually gets paid every Wednesday. And, every Wednesday, when he gets home, we go cash his check, and deposit it into our bank account. So, I had decided that we would have Subway for dinner, so when Trevor got home, he went to use the restroom, and I got ready to leave, when we had put the dogs in their kennels, and Ernie in the Bathroom, Trevor went to get his check, out of his lunch pail, (as he does each week mind you,) And, it wasn't there! I just looked at him, and asked if maybe he had put it in his pocket instead, or left it in his dad's car? Trevor was adamant that he had put it in his pail.

I told him not to worry about it, and to call his dad to see if it was in his car. Trevor called his dad, and he checked the car. It wasn't there..... So, I asked Trevor if he had at least an idea of where it was. he said it had to be in the break trailer at the job site.........in REXBURG! I told my wonderful husband not to worry that he could just find it tomorrow, and we would be fine.

He was grateful that I was so understanding. But, what could I say, or do? I leave things at home, or at friends/family's homes all the time.

So, I made frozen pizza for dinner for him, and I had left overs from earlier in the week........not the same as the wonderful Sub that I had planned....but that's okay.

This morning at 4:30 am, Trevor laughed from the kitchen, and asked me to guess what he had just found! His check was in the lid of the lunch pail, (which is a small cooler, with a flip top!) "Oh Dear!" Isn't that amazing! I asked him if that made him feel better, or if he felt more like an idiot? He said he felt like the dumbest person in the world! I told him it was all good, and I would just deposit it today.

At least we knew where it was! And, at least we didn't have to wait forever to get the check!
