Every day since Scott has left (with the exception of one day), Hudson, Barkley, and I have been going on a walk. We have a couple of various routes we take but they all conclude with getting the mail and going home. Today we went for our usual walk. While we were walking, Scott called to chat so I was pushing the stroller, holding the leash, and talking on the phone. This doesn't sound too hard but Barkley has ADHD and makes going for a walk nearly impossible. I got so frustrated that I put Barkley in the undercarriage of the stroller. It was close to the end of the walk so Barkley was pretty tired anyways. When we stopped at the mailboxes, I opened the box to get the mail, at which time Barkley decided to jump out of the undercarriage and cross the street to run towards another dog. I managed to corral Barkley and we headed home. I then made dinner and proceeded with feeding Hudson. That's when it happened... The car alarm when off. I had no idea what was going on. Barkley was going CRAZY. I ran up to the garage with a baseball bat thinking someone was trying to steal my car (in broad daylight in a closed garage) but no one was there and the alarm kept going off. I ran back downstairs where Hudson was crying and Barkley was barking and I grabbed the two of them. I took them to the garage and hit the garage door opener. And there she was... the lady who found my keys which I had left in the mailbox. This was just the icing on the cake of a horrific day. I kindly thanked her and was tempted to try to explain that I am not a complete idiot but I figured she probably just wanted to go home to her family so I shamefully walked away.
Leaving keys in the mailbox might not seem like a big deal but for me this is just proof that I have too many thoughts floating around inside my head. I need to clear my mind. I need to take a load off. I need balance. I need my Husband. These puzzle pieces need to come together soon otherwise I will be committed pretty soon at this rate.
