Losing My Mind

I'm only 37 years old and I'm already losing my mind! I have been searching for this zippered pouch for about two weeks now and it's been driving me crazy. I lie in bed at night thinking about where it could possibly be. I've searched both vehicles at least two or three times, including once again this morning. And then as I'm packing up my suitcase for Wednesday's trip, I start thinking about this lotion that I needed to exchange at Bath and Body Works. I remember putting it in a bag on the 30th of April and going down to the Old Mill District. I had accidentally purchased two lotions when I wanted one lotion and one shower gel. Then I remembered that I had put this pouch in the bag with the lotion because this is my coupon pouch. Not just any coupon but the valuable coupons like $10 off your next $30 purchase, etc. Then I had to figure out which bag I had put them in... it wasn't my reusable ones that I use for groceries because those are folded up in my purse, I looked and double-checked. Hmm, where could this damn bag be? Hanging up in the laundry closet in a reusable bag stuffed full of all the other reusable bags that I've collected. Somehow I folded it up, with a lotion and large pouch inside, and stuffed it inside the bag to clean up. Wow, this is worse than putting something in a safe place so I don't lose it and then forgetting where that is. Speaking of which, I'm missing my American Express card that I used yesterday at Costco and the childcare punch card for the gym that I could have sworn I saw within the last week. I'm losing it!!

I am glad I'm not alone! Last night I was making dinner. I used the lighter to turn on the oven, then lost it before I lit the burners. I had to call in back up. My husband asked me how I managed to lose something I just had. Good question. A little distracted I guess?
