Ouch!!!!!!

I am my own worst enemy!!
I left my purse in the cart in the Target parking lot!!!
They didn't have what I was looking for so I had no packages. As I was concerned with getting all the little ones out of the cart and buckled in, I didn't realize I left my purse until I arrived at Toys are us a 1/2 hour away. I just wanted some marbles. I feel so sick. For days, I carried around $2 in my wallet, but just 1/2 hour before I LOADED it with cash to get ready for today's party. Whoever found it must have thought it was their lucky day and the gods had blessed them and they were meant to keep it, because I have not heard anything about it from the store or police. I tried calling it a few times. My cell phone was in there too, with the most adorable picture of my son as the screen saver. No answer. I liked that purse too. It was SOOO cute, even though I only paid $3 for it at the second hand store. The wallet and the cell phone were expensive - not to mention all that cash. It is a big loss for me and I just feel sick. I feel bad for my son who had to hear all my moaning and crying as we sat in traffic on the way back to Target, without having gone in the toy store. He was VERY quiet. He did give my the 7 cents that were in his pocket to cheer me up. Saint ANTHONY!!!!

Oh Donna, how awful! What a rotten thing to have happen... St. Anthony, please pray! I'll send up a prayer too...

P.S. (Your little boy has a sweet heart - you must be doing something right...)

Thank you for your prayers. Please also pray that I won't obsess about this, but just make healthy prayers. D

Ouch! My prayers are with you and your family, Donna! (I offered he Chaplet of Divine Mercy for your intention.)

I'm not the biggest techie on the planet, but: isn't there a way to trace the location of cell phones from a distance, provided that a signal is being sent to it (and the battery isn't dead)? Maybe some techno-wiz from the police (or from Motorola) can answer that...
