No, this post isn't about my sanity, not yet at least. Over the past couple of months I've managed to lose some items...newly purchased I might add. Ugh!
Right after Halloween I bought my two boys costumes for next year. They were Star Wars characters and were 75% off. Well, they were $10/each and I set them in a large Target bag on the steps just outside our garage. Problem #1. Why didn't I just bring them into the mudroom...?
Anyway, a few days later, Mark told the boys to collect the trash. Conner collected it, brought it to the garage and Hayden loaded it into the trash cans. Problem #2. Out went the costumes...with the trash.
Then, that same week I bought Millie a bag of socks...yes a bag because I can never find her a pair of socks...matching and clean would be a bonus. Those somehow never made it out of the bag and into her room. A second item I've lost or thrown out in the trash. In my efforts to tidy up, I'm accidentally throwing out new things. Problem #3. The saying isn't, "out with the new, in with the old".
Anyway, I'm about to start wrapping Christmas presents and I sure hope I don't come up missing any items. :)
