Stupidity: Mine or Theirs? Either way, it's a good ending.

This morning, Arnie noticed the center console in my car was open. This is not typical. He asked me if I left it open, I said, "no." After looking over the car, he finds everything is seemingly in place. The morning goes on and I get in the car to take O to school. I find the baby wipes that I keep in the console are in the passenger seat. "That's funny," I thought.Putting them away, I think that inside looks pretty empty, but I couldn't place what was missing. Upon entering the car after dropping O off it hits me: they took her Bible. Olivia's cute, Bible she got from her Grammy & Papa. The one in the sweet, pink, Precious Moments cover.Her very first big girl Bible.

Later on, I was driving with my mom recounting the ordeal when I realized what had been missing from the console. IT WAS MY BREAST PUMP! I had a little hand-held pump that I kept in case of on-the-go engorgement. And it too was gone. (You're welcome for not posting a picture.) Soon after that discovery, my mom treated the girls to a cold treat in hopes to ease the pain of Olivia's stolen Bible. Driving up to the window, I searched for my wallet. OH NO!
My wallet! I remembered that the afternoon before, I grabbed my wallet and keys when picking O up from school. I put my wallet, I bet you can't guess where... in the center console. Frantically, I start pulling everything out of my diaperbag, hoping that it was in there. It wasn't. I prayed a little prayer and stuck my hand in the little cubby hole where it gets tucked away when I'm in a hurry. IT WAS THERE!!! The stupid thief didn't take my wallet, the dvds, the cds, the dvd player, the phone charger, or anything else. He took a little girl's Bible and a breast pump!

Needless to say, I am grateful that crooks are dumb and I didn't get what I should have.
