Dumpster Diving

Busy week this week, but this event today topped the cake. My son has a cell phone now ( yes, my 9 year old has a cell phone... we can discuss that later) Yesterday, I asked kiddo where his phone was. He said that I had it last ( the worst thing a kid can say when something is missing). A friend from the east coast was out and staying here for the past couple days. On our way to the airport, I brainstormed in the car as to where the phone might be. She said that she had last seen in on the kitchen counter. Uh-oh. I remembered a couple days ago working in the kitchen and hearing a "thunk" into the garbage can. I looked quickly and didn't see anything of note. So I dismissed it as a can that I probably knocked in. So, now, I thought differently. When we got back home from the airport off to the dumpster we went. Here 2 good things happened a) the dumpster wasn't that full and b) there were 2 teenage boys nearby. When they saw what we were doing they offered to help. I LOVE stupid teenagers!!!! They were actually very helpful. We found our 2 trash bags and in one, lo and behold, was kiddo's phone. Thank goodness.

So this was how we spend part of our Sunday. I know your jealous !!!
