The Good, The Bad, and the Unfortunate

At times I vacillate between angry/uptight and forgetful, it's a bad combination. I lost my wallet at Target last week. I was missing it for a couple of days and thought it could be one of three places: my schedule for the last day I had it was, doctor appointment for Devin, return a frame to Target, and work in the afternoon (another story in itself, Damon picked up the kids from my work when he got home. The plan was we would switch cars, but I accidentally gave him both sets of car keys, and didn't have a way to get home). Back to the missing wallet: I called work and asked if my wallet was in the lost and found. They said no. So I called Target and asked about it there. Lo and behold it was in their lost and found. Damon said, "That really worries me." I know, me too. I lost a diaper bag once that had all my ID in it, and at leat $100 worth of coupons and stuff. I have a tendency to sit things down and forget where I sat them, like wallets in grocery store aisles, I left this wallet in the cart I think. I used to not carry a wallet, I would just carry the cards I needed for the particular outing. My reasoning was that if I lost something, at least I wouldn't lose EVERYTHING. Turned out it was a bad theory, I could never find anything, license or credit card when I needed it. But the wallet is recovered, and I'll try to be more careful. It's kind of endearing, right, this absentmindedness? Or just annoying? I asked Damon which he preferred, the uptight me or the absentminded me. He pleaded the 5th, and continues to remain silent on the subject.

Damon is funny. I hate that since I've become a mom my brain is gone. I guess we just have too many things to think about, right?
