Where Are My Keys?

Okay, so Princess and I begin Tuesday morning very excited about our trip to Vegas. We do our morning routine and something just tells me to "hurry up" and get on out of the house earlier than usual. I was trying to be proactive (read-work off some of my nervous energy/anxiety) the night before and pack half of our things into the car. The only thing left not to pack was the suitcase which you always have to add the last minute things to before you leave right? So we have all of our last minute essentials packed and we are on our way....or so we thought. I got to open the trunk to put in the suitcase and think, "Where are My EFFING KEYS?" Oh, I remember-they are in the backpack I am taking to Vegas (instead of a purse). So I go to the front door to get out the keys...wrong....ALL OF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED WITH THE KEYS INSIDE!!!! Huge Problem. It wouldn't have been such a huge problem but the other set was with DH in Vegas. We could have taken my car but HALF OF OUR LUGGAGE including my wallet, etc was locked in DH's Car!! OMG OMG OMG OMG Soooo, I call a locksmith to come help me. He sounds three sheets in the wind (yeah) but I am at least relieved to have some help on the way. Then I start to thinking-I never lock DH's car on the door panel. I always lock it with the hand held lock.....so, is there a possibility they are in the house somewhere. What if the locksmith gets here and unlocks the door and they aren't in the backpack...I'm still screwed right? SOOOO, Princess and I began searching the house top to bottom. During my anxiety induced cleaning stage the night before, I had moved all of Princess' toys to DH's office away from the puppy.....and I had LEFT THE KEYS on the arm of the loveseat....SUCCESS.....SO I grab Princess and dash out the door and haul it for school and work. I get to work only 7 minutes late (no biggie) only to remember that I never called the locksmith to tell him I found my keys....ooops....I honestly wonder if he even showed up though????? So begins our trip.....more to come!!!!
