Dumpster Diving In My Front Yard

Have you ever had so much frustration with clutter that you just start tossing items? This was the case for me last week. Unfortunately, I tossed the wrong item. I tossed a hat my son got from the Rainforest Cafe. It is a cheap ten cent hat that has seen better days. So, I figured it was trash. He had not asked for it in days but tonight he did. Oh no, what did I do?

I felt awful, so I did the nastiest thing. I actually went and dug in the trash for the hat. I tore into and sifted through six trash bags. There was upwards of fifty dirty diapers in there too. Yum Yum! The smell almost made me puke. It was dark when I was out there, so my husband held a flash light up for me. I was done with this nasty mission when I got poop on my hand. Luckily it was the last bag.

Tonight, after all that, there was no hat found. The trash man must had already picked up that load. I really did try to find it and I felt awful for throwing it away. I can see a trip to the Rainforest Cafe in our immediate future.
