Most likely to be...

If I had a different career, I'd probably become a Private Investigator. Why?? I'm good at it and I find it very interesting. Most of my detective work has been just out of curiousity until Friday.

I got in my car to take the girls to Lolly's and then head off to school. I was about to pull out of the driveway when I realized my purse wasn't in my car. I got a little nervous, but I figured it was in the house. I ran through the house really quick and didn't find it. I called my cell phone thinking that it would ring and then I'd know where I left it.

Unfortnuately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it), my phone went straight to voicemail. I checked my messages and found one from my credit card's fraud department. They wanted to verify some of my purchases.

I realized then that my purse was stolen right from under my nose. First, I know I made the mistake of leaving my purse in my car in the garage, but I still don't believe it gives someone the right to come into MY house and steal MY things.

I called the police and filed a report and also called and canceled my cell phone and credit cards. On Saturday night, I worked with a wonderful police officer who used the leads my mom and I tracked down and arrested the "kid" who took my stuff. He confessed and is facing felony charges.

I'm thankful that the police were able to track everything down. I should get my purse, cell and IPOD back this week.

If I ever stop teaching, I might just become a private detective. :)
