I have always been pretty responsible with my possessions. I
remember where I put “things”, I don't sit things down and walk off without
them or forget them. It gets complicated when you have kids, you have your kids
and they have their stuff. I do give my children more credit that average
kiddos, they don't leave their stuff behind. Well I probably should clarify that
better. My kids don't leave things behind at school, church, or other places we
go. I should break that down further, as far as I know they haven't left a coat
anywhere. Yep I'm lying or maybe in denial, Brooklyn left her black pea coat at
school and I found it in the lost and found on my way to her parent/teacher
conference this past spring. Ok, so I'm not sure what we have lost along the
way, but don't feel like I am constantly looking for their lost items. Now
around the house it’s a different story, we are constantly looking for lost
ipods, the DSI, a books, and other little lost items. Sometimes we find things
we didn't even realize were lost. It can be an adventure to take a peek under
the couch cushions, I am guessing you will find a hand full of items (hair
pins, pennies, cereal, fruit snacks, a pencil and probably a pen), I don't know
why we store these items in the couch and I keep putting them in the trash and
junk drawer!?!?. So today I found a lost item I didn't know was lost, it was
stinky and gross! What did I learn, well for starters, I need to slow down,
think, and remember. Let's just say it could have been a lot worse and I'm
happy that what was lost is found! I am not going to lose my mind, and you know
if we do lose a jacket here or there I might not even notice or care!
