missing in action… or lack thereof…

or something.

Guess what I lost?

Two checks. One from my parents and one from Mr. Incredible’s parents.

I thought I deposited them.

Nope.

I think I know what happened to them. I tossed them out with the trash. I have never been more embarrased…. now I have to call them and tell them.

Just hope the FIL doesn’t answer the phone, he will never let me live this down.

Somedays it’s bad to be me.

The good note - I did not loose the nice big expense check that Mr. Incredible got in the mail.

DAMNITALLTOHECK!!!

****** updated to add: the checks were Anniversary gifts and part of an early Christmas present - I was gong to deposit them in a bank I don’t usually bank at - just so we wouldn’t waste them on TP and Q-tips and now I can’t find them…. I did call my mom and my MIL - they are going to send new checks, but I sure feel like a dumbass!

    I actually think that’s what happened to my bluetooth earpiece, I think I threw it out somehow.

    Happens to the best of us!

    Yah, I think I’ve done something like that before too! It stinks having to tell them about it though! Don’t you wish you had an EASY button?? lol

    My daughter washed (and disintegrated) her state tax refund check last year. Strangely enough, it was no hassle to get them to void it and re-issue a new one.

    I’ve lost checks before. The worst is when you have to tell somebody that ISN’T family that you’ve lost their personal check. Like the parent of one of your students…. Oops…

    We are all to crazy/hectic to NOT know what you went through. There are times I have actually dug through the garbage - only to find that I “hid” the checks and filled out deposit form somewhere… GREAT!

    Disgusting! Grrrrrrrrrrrr.

    OneHung thinks you should use your superhero powers to go back in time and save those poor checks.
