Poor Distribution of Resources

I am not a very organized person. My husband would disagree with me, but then I ask him why is it that I lose my keys on a weekly basis and have lost either my or his wallet 4 times in our 10 year marriage? Obviously not the work of an organized person.

Once again, I misplaced my wallet. I actually remember the place I left it at in Calgary this time though, and was given opportunity to recover it. Cris said he would pick it up as he was in Calgary for part of the day anyways, and this place was right on his way. So he picked up my wallet and all seemed in good order.

About an hour later, I got a call from him saying that he had tried for 15 minutes and he couldn't get the car (Ford Escort) started. And I had the AMA card at home. But we were able to work around it because AMA doesn't need the card, just the number. So the tow truck came and towed Cris and the car to our mechanic.

My job now was to bundle the kids up and go pick Cris up in our Jetta. It was when I was going out the door that I realized that my keys were in my wallet. And Cris had my wallet. No problem....I have a spare key. And I always keep it...........in my wallet. oh.

Cris and I brainstormed for a bit and determined that we remember seeing an extra spare key for the Jetta floating around somewhere but no one remembered quite where. So I did some looking around before getting another call from Cris saying that he had found that spare key in the Escort.

So Cris had his key, his spare key, my key, my spare key, and the spare spare key all within his posession. He had all 5 known keys to the car that was working, and a broken down car. I had a working car, but no keys to it.

Talk about divying up resources poorly!

He has found a ride home, but this includes getting picked up by his friend, going to a truck shop with him, getting picked up by his friend's wife and unavoidably being invited to their house for supper. So he has not even started making his way home yet. But sometime tonight I hope to see him.
