Today is street-sweeping day, and I decided to drive, not only to get the car off the street, but I had books and dry cleaning to tote, and I was hoping to get back home a bit early to get DIL's birthday dinner going.
I had everything gathered to take to the car (including a big bag of garbage to throw in the dumpster). What did I leave on the desk? My keys. I couldn't get in the car, couldn't get back in the building. My extra keys, which I always carry in my bag, mysteriously were not there. I had to go to my son's house and wake up DIL and her mother to get the spare set of keys. They were obviously driven out of bed, and I feel awful.
I cooked most of the enchilada dinner yesterday -- just need to assemble the filling and tortillas and bake. I made cupcakes, but they need to be iced. The only side dish will be watermelon, since the enchiladas are full of veggies. I will need to make some simple cheese quesadillas for the boys, too, as they are very picky eaters.
At noon I need to go to the post office (still mailing books for my organization), drop off the dry cleaning, and get more keys cut. I refuse to have this happen again! And I guess I'll pick up birthday candles, since I LOSE the box every single time I buy one!
So far, no spending, but I've found .12 in the past few days!
Bad Beginning to the Day

My parents always make cheese quesadillas for my picky eaters, too!

Where do you prefer to store candles? Would it be reasonable to keep all candle of every type, colour etc on one of those Dollar Store type plastic shoe boxes?
Enjoy birthday party with family, obviously your DDIL has a wonderful, loving, caring MIL, lucky lady.

My keys do have a home; the problem today was that I didn't put them in my bag; instead, I laid them on the desk with all the other stuff I was taking. I took everything but the keys. Only the most important thing!
I'm ashamed to admit that the extra keys WERE in my bag. In my panic I just didn't look thoroughly enough. I don't think I'll admit that to DIL!
