Our Kids

So every once in a while I get fed up with all the junk around and I put it all away.  I clear the cabinets, put away the toys, stack all the books and scrub her down.  Then we think, oh how nice the house looks.  Almost immediately the thought comes to mind, now what in the heck did I do with X?  X is  never to be found again since it was so nicely put away.  Had X stayed on the counter it would be in plain site and usually found within a day.

This is what has happened to my battery charger.  I can’t find it since I put it away, now you are probably wondering why you should care.  Well I use said battery charger for my digital camera.  So no charger, no photos.  You see the dilemma now?  We do have another charger but it is in the bedroom and it is inconvenient for me (its a whole 15 feet from the kitchen).  It really isn’t that it is inconvenient so much as the fact that if I don’t see it I will forget.  It is also why I leave the vacuum out in the living room, otherwise I will forget that I haven’t vacuumed that room yet.  So all the stuff is on the counter again, EXCEPT for the charger which is still roaming around somewhere with X.
