losing it

my phone that is. No idea how it happened. (and my brain - but I know exactly how that one happened) Noticed it wasn't in my purse today as I was on my way to the store. Thought, "huh, that's odd". I can usually tell when my phone isn't in my purse because of the weight, but I had my iPod in there so it felt the same. Went home expecting it to be on the charger or the computer... nope. It is gone. Vanished. And on a massive PMS day, that is not a good thing. Sorry for my children, who probably got the brunt of my frustration.

Yesterday I was sitting out front with Burgundy in her stroller, watching Finn play with the neighbor kids. One of my hosts called me, so I know I had it at that point. I know I was trying to get 20 things inside the house. 2 kids, 3 of Finn's trucks, his bike & helmet, a stroller, my chair, etc. I know I set it on my bumper.

As much as I would like to deny this, I think that may be where it stayed. I know I walked past it once or twice and thought I'd better get that... But I really don't know if I did. I'd say since it's no where to be found, chances are I didn't. This is irritating beyond belief. I walked around the back of the car twice this morning to get Burgundy in her seat - how could I miss it?

So I still have mommy brain. Which annoys me non-stop. I feel like I have the worst case of ADD. I start 20 things and finish maybe 2. This happens hourly. I will walk past something at the end of the day that I thought "I'd better do/get/fix that" at least 20 times that day. It's ridiculous.

So I guess my poor phone is somewhere on the road between here and Layton. Sad sad sad. The good thing is it is a Palm phone so I just have to sync a new phone to the computer and get all my numbers, etc back. But I lose all my pictures (again) and have to re-download all my ringtones (again) etc. (you'll recall they had to hard reset my phone not that long ago because it wigged out so I lost all the info on it not that long ago)

I called Sprint and they said they will call me tomorrow morning and if I haven't found it yet they will send me out a new one. So that is good. I just can't believe I lost it. In so many ways...

sigh....

I hope you have been at least able to check you voicemail's remotely? I haven't seen anything on the street. Did you check by all the stop signs and turns? Have you called it to see if someone picked it up?

I hate it when that stuff happens, and it happens to me more than I'd like. I know what you mean about "I'd better do/get/fix that" sort of stuff. I start to do 20 things, and nothing ever really gets done. I hear you ADD sista!
