Tylers finger is ok. As he says, its back to like nothing happened to it.

We went to the beach waterpark sunday. And let me tell you I will NEVER go back. First we lost Tyler for 45 minutes. All the lifeguards were on alert for him and everything. We were all in the wave pool when he disappeared, so of course we are thinking the worst. It turns out he got out of the pool, couldn’t find any of us so he went to watch basketball. I tell you, that was the WORST 45 minutes of my life I swear. I had every horrible thought that a parent could have about a child being missing.
Then, we are getting ready to leave around 6 and we all met up where we had our stuff. Low and behold my beach bag was missing. I had my keys, money, debit card, tylers medication,towels, nt camera, shoes,hairbrush and all kinds of other stuff in there. I found security once again and explained it. They filed a report and we were on a search for my bag. Thankfully, some friends of ours were there and offered to bring us home since my keys were in the bag and Russ didn’t have his spare ones.

As we were on our way out, I decided to check the bathroom one more time in the hopes that whoever took it might have dumped it in there and possibly left my keys. Tyler and I (cause I wouldnt let him out of my sight) walked in there and there it sat next to the trash can. I about passed out. I grabbed it and dumped it out to see what was left in it. We got our towels, my wallet minus the debit card and money (but at least I have my drivers license),my KEYS,and 1 shoe. The idiots took 2 full pairs of sandles and left 1 of another. I was pissed about that. The sandles were personalized for the boys football team. They took Tylers antibotics too and that was just a low blow. But the main thing that worries me is the fact that they took my camera and now some stranger has pictures of my kids if they get it developed. And what really pisses me off is they took my HAIRBRUSH. It takes me forever to find a hairbrush that I like and I had had that one for like 3 years cause I couldn’t find another one like it.

We got home and I called the bank. I am thankfully that they got it cancelled so fast. So far, it doesn’t look like they got to use it.

I feel almost like someone stole part of my life. I feel violated almost as bad as when I was raped years ago by a friend. I am handling it all wrong though. The past 2 nights I have gotten drunk, just so I can sleep. I can’t even look at the beach bag without getting really mad, so its going in the trash. Russ is trying really hard to understand how I feel, but men are men. He is just mad cause they took his Monster Garage t-shirt and damn thing had a whole in it any way.

Ok. That is enough rambling.
