Then Saturday evening happened. I went shopping with my mom and the kids and someone stole my purse while we were at the store. Arghhhhhhhhh. My keys, wallet and new camera were in my purse. Within a few hours they were using my credit cards at various stores spending close to 2 grand before we could shut the cards down.
You guys, my heart is aching. I know most of the things that I lost are replaceable but I am just so down. My brand new camera that I only had for a few weeks is gone and with it all the pictures from our trip to Europe. I have to call a million different places to get all my stuff back then go to the DMV to get a new license and the list goes on. I am just so down on myself. Why are people so dishonest? why was I so careless? This was my worst weekend in a very long time.
I have to look at the silver lining though. I was out with both kids and none of them were hurt. I wasn't hurt in the process either. I might have to buy a new camera, and purse, and a slew of other things but it could have been worse. I am just going to cry myself to sleep for a few days and go back to rebuilding my purse. I feel like I had my whole life in my purse :(. My purse is not going to have as much from now on, only the absolute minimum.
Whenever I am down on myself, I look at my kids and count my blessings. Since I don't have any pictures of this weekend (the only ones we took were with my mom's Iphone), I leave you with pics of my Jbird from the DSLR. His sweet little face always makes things so much happier around here.
Jbird's favorite thing to do these days is help me with the dishwasher
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I am very thankful that you are all ok & no one was hurt. You are giving God the glory in this & you will be blessed!
ReplyDeleteThank you Nancy
DeleteOh my! I didn't know it was that bad! I thought perhaps they just took a couple of items. I am so sorry! That really sucks! I hope you are not responsible for any of the charges. People are just so cruel!
ReplyDeleteJ, I swear people are so cruel. God is good though, he spared us any problems
DeleteOH MY WORD!!! I'm so sorry that happened. That truly sux, even if most items can be replaced. Glad to hear that none of you were hurt though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. JK, it was a painful realization that people can be hurtful on this earth
DeleteOh no!!!! That sounds awful. Completely understand how you would be so upset. On top of everything you have to replace, it is such a pain to reorder everything! Ugh, hoping your week gets better!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Katie, it felt awful but I am actually feeling better about it now
Deletethat gets me so mad! this person saw you ... saw you with your kids and everything ... and no heart! karma ... karma... karma.
ReplyDeletei think sometimes it is knowing that a person did this purposely makes it hurt even more.
i'm sorry, love. i hope the week goes well for you.
Faith, I thought the same thing, no heart I tell you. Thanks for the nice thoughts
DeleteI love that picture of your little man at the end. He's so kissably cute. Love that smile. Sorry about your purse gettig stolen...bummer!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mrs. K, he is such a doll, definitely warms my heart
DeleteI'm sorry Pegster! I can only imagine how frustrating and unnerving that must have been. I am glad that you all are safe and everything taken was material [though you will never get your photos back :( ]. I hope you have a better week.
ReplyDeleteThanks Josie, it was pretty frustrating but I am glad everyone is ok
DeleteUghhhh WHY do people have to do evil things? So sorry to hear about this Pegster. Typically the bank should be able to reimburse you for what they spent. I know replacing everything is going to be super annoying, but you'll get through it before you know it! I am impressed with your attitude during such a frustrating situation. God will definitely reward you for your faithfulness. Keep smiling! Jbird definitely is! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Glamour. The bank did reimburse us all the money. The hassle of replacing everything is going to be a distant memory soon.
Deleteim so sorry to hear about your stolen purse...people are just so cruel...but oh to come home to that face...too adorable...he is getting so big!!
ReplyDeletePeople are pretty cruel, thank goodness for my kids who always turn bad situation into awesome ones. He is getting big, I can believe he is 10 months in a few days. Crazy
DeleteI am SO sorry this happened to you. This happened to my mom once when she was in KFC she had 3k in cash in her bag, like the only time in her life that she EVER carried that kind of money and it happened. I know it will be a pain to get everything again but like you said, thank goodness everyone is okay and good.
ReplyDeleteThat is horrible, I understand exactly how you feel. My purse was stolen once too and it was awful, I carry my whole life in my purse and I really shouldn't. I'm sorry about the camera and pictures. Hopefully your relatives can send you pics they took while you were visiting.
