Losing it!

Ok - so I thought I'd start this blog out with a finding it.....because I really like those moments when I feel like I have it all together and my life is in order.  But really, isn't it easier to think of the losing its?  And, if I may be honest here, don't they happen more frequently?  I promise I'll publish a finding it when I can, but for now, perhaps you can relate to my losing it.  (Or maybe this will make you feel better about yours!)

I was sitting in my office recently near the end of the day.  I was thinking about all the things I had to wrap up before I went home (i.e. everything I had to write down so I didn't forget about it for the next morning), and everything I had to do that evening (i.e. who had to be where by what time).  And then it hit me:  I couldn't remember if I had walked to work that morning, or if I had driven!!!  I sat they for what felt like 5 mintues trying to remember my trip into work that morning.  I looked in the corner of my office where I ususally keep my walking shoes - empty.  I tried to remember (again) my trip into work that morning.  I went and asked two of my co-workers if they remembered how I got to work (they did not - they have their own worries!).  I tried to decide how much my children would make fun of me if I called home and asked them to look in the garage to see if my car was there.  And if I really wanted to appear that scattered to the sitter.  As I was debating, I saw my shoes.  They were in a different place, but the evidence was clear - I WALKED. 

If that's not a "losing it," I don't know what is.  I'm glad I can laugh at myself about this.  I hope you laugh with me.
