How many times in the day....
do you hear: Mom, do you know where my pink sandals are? Mommy, where's my Bratz doll's comb? Honey, have you seen my glasses? I am the keeper of everyone's STUFF. By no means are my kids or DH lazy, it just seems to fall on me to "know" where things are...the funny thing is, I usually do! Now, tonight, I a trying to find the booklet to my camera. I keep it in one place...or so I thought! Does it drive you nuts, too, when you can't find something? I just said aloud, "Honey, have you seen the booklet to my camera?" No one answered. I (Honey, Mom, Mommy) will have to look tomorrow.
I know exactly what you mean and I always know where everyone else's things are! I haven't figured out why that is. My dh will look for something for 15 minutes and when I ask what he's looking for, I can tell him its exact location! He says it's because I always put things in strange places...like shoes in the closet!
I always ask Dh and DD if they think I can magically pull what ever thay want out of my belly button. They believe I know where everything is at all times- Well usually I do.
I have a friend back in Maryland that has a saying. "It did not fall into my outstreched hand, therefore I could not find it." She says that's what her dh and kids problems are.
I know what you mean Annie. The worst is when I tell my girls "I don't know where they are. Go look for them." and they stand in one spot, turn their head around once and then ask me again!
It's because we have ovaries. Didn't you know that? LOL
