I am losing my mind.

I really think I may be losing my mind. You need proof? Today I served lunch at my daughter's school and got to visit with her. I then went to Joanne's fabric to pick up the supplies my daughter needed to do her school project tonight and the stuff I needed for my Daisy leader meeting also tonight. I paid seperately but had the clerk put everything in the same bag. She put the bag in the cart for me and I returned the cart to the cart return spot. I then went to Bed Bath & Beyond for something I needed there and then ran to the uniform store to buy my daughter another sweater. After that I went to the Fresh Market and ran into an old friend and then I went to sit in the car line and enjoy my book while I waited to pick up my daughter. I was having a lovely afternoon. As I am driving home I'm telling my daughter about all the cool stuff I got for her to do her project and tell her to look in the bag. She tells me there is no bag in the back seat so at the next red light I look through the bags in the front but the bag is not there either. I tell her to look in the trunk. Of course, no bag. At this point I start to get a little worried and think about turning around to treck across town back to Joanne's but decide that surely I would not have done something as stupid as leave the one and only bag I had from the store in the cart so I decide to drive home and check the car myself. Clearly it is in the back of the car somewhere and she is just not looking well enough. Well, you guessed it. I get home, tear the car apart and there is no bag. At which point my husband pulls in and my daughter tells him what I am doing and he makes a smart comment and now I am pissed. I am mad at him, I am mad at me, I am mad at Joanne's for being all the way on the other side of the world. Mostly I am mad that my lovely afternoon has now turned yucky and I have to run all the way back to the store to get my bag. If I had to forget a bag why couldn't it have been one from Target which is only 5 minutes away??!!

I hope they had it for you.

One time I took my 4 year old son (at the time) to a store and didn't realize I left my PURSE in the carriage until I was home!! It was a good 20 minutes away and I felt so horrible. I never did get it back and I felt stupid for days. But at least I had my son!!
