Coupon Binder

Well... something very sad happend to me shortly after my last post. I lost something very important to me!! My coupon binder. I went to Albertsons because I had a few more Quaker coupons and wanted to use them with the sale. But when I got there, they were wiped out of all of their merchandise. So I didn't buy anything. I picked up Nathan out of the cart inside the store and also got my big green coupon binder out of the cart.

When I got to the car, I couldn't unlock the van because my hands and arms were full. So I put my binder on top of my car. I had a feeling instantly NOT to do that because my friend Amy did that and she drove off with it on her car. Well.. since having kids.. .I have the attention span of a 2 week old baby. In the 30 seconds it took me to buckle up Nathan, I forgot to get my binder off of the top of the car.

It wasn't until hours later that I rememberd what I had done. By this time it was dark and despite mine and Robert's repeated searches...the binder was gone.

Here is what makes it sad...Because I take my binder EVERYWHERE, I kept all of my gift certificates in there. I had over $200 worth of gift certificates in there. (I didn't pay that much for them. I got most of them from citydeals.com's DOTD). It wasn't turned into Albertsons, and it wasn't turned into the police. And my name and number were also in it. Someone hit paydirt. I hope they choke going to all of those resturants.

I was/am sad... but at least I had my priorites straight. I didn't put Nathan on top of the car to put my binder in. Robert was happy about that too.
