How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Differently Organized

in Everyday, Lifestyle on 03/27/14

I am not a scatter brain.  I swear.

I know exactly where my ice cream scoop is.  The ice cream scoop my Mom used to use and has now been “passed down” stolen from her house to me, because one always needs ice cream from the perfect scoop.

I never loose track of the wine opener because c’mon wine and the suburbs?  Duh.  I rarely loose my car keys, and do a decent job of keeping track of my oh so sexy not glasses.  So why is it that there are certain things in my life that seem to get lost over and over again?

Take Socks.  I buy new socks more often then I care to admit.  Does the dryer eat them?  Is my cat making a bed somewhere I do not know about?  Are they falling down vents or walking out of the house on their own?  The damn things simply seem to disappear!  No matter how many pairs I buy, there are never enough clean socks.  My new approach; buy the ugliest brightest socks I can find.  I think my daughter’s have been helping themselves to my socks!  This will stop that  sock thievery.

Its a never ending fight to find hair elastics.  Poof, they are nowhere to be found, …but that is totally normal.

I can never find tweezers when I need them, this only eats about ten minutes up of each day.  Not so bad…right?

Who steals my lint roller?  This one is a little bit frustrating!

Where do my lipsticks go?  Wait, this is actually being organized right, I mean, a busy Mama should probably just keep lipsticks in every purse.  This is very efficient. 

Speaking of make-up, has anyone seen my new fave eyeliner?  It’s that new Covergirl ink it! eyeliner.  The colour is so vibrant, glides on so smoothly, never needs sharpening and is waterproof!  I really don’t want to lose this one!

Oh and Hubby, no, I do NOT know where your hat is!  (See I am not the only one who is misplacing things * hands on hips and sticks out tongue)

But…has anyone seen my black boots?  No, not those black boots, the other black boots.  My family would be much more helpful if they just knew which boots went with which outfit.

So see, I’m not a scatter brain, I am just different organized.

      LOL. Great minds think alike! I am like this too! No…I didn’t forget where I put it, it just up and disappeared on me! 😛 ahhh the elusive items that disappear when you need them but appear when you don’t need them.

      I love being organized….I sort and organize as much as I can so I remember where moist things are. I so hate when I miss place something, drives me crazy…..hands end up on my hips and tapping my foot in annoyance!!!!!

      I could write a whole book on my misplaced stuff, I can relate.

      Well, I’m proud to say that I know where all that stuff is….what I can’t locate is my sanity! :0

      I very, very frequently misplace my cell phone and then have to call it from my computer to find it. I think socks are victims of static and often end up getting spirited away by a towel or another piece of clothing. That’s my theory, anyway.

        I like your “spirited away” theory. Maybe all our socks are out there somewhere in the house, maybe even the world on an adventure 🙂
        And calling your phone from your computer, very smart. My advice, don’t ever ever put your cell phone on silent!

      I lose everything. I can’t find my keys in the morning so my husband bought me a clapper for it….I lost it.

        LOL Oh I am sorry, but you did make me laugh. Hope you found your keys, and your clapper.
