I lose everything, part 2

hi everyone.  Just in case you have been, you can quit having anxiety over wondering if I've abandoned my blog and decided I have better things to do with my time.  Because I haven't.  Calm yourselves (all 12 of you).  I've just been off BINDING BOOKS!  Which is fabulous and I recommend it to all of you. I'll tell you all about it later.  Write now I feel like posing the question, am I the only one who seems to be constantly making things so much harder than they actually should be?  Example 1:  like how last time I went grocery shopping I wrote "1 onion" on my grocery list instead of "2 onions" which left me with an onion deficiency when I wanted to make the butternut squash soup today that Steph recommended.  Which meant a short trip to the grocery store which turned into a loooong trip, most of which wasn't actually a trip but searching for my wallet which I apparently absentmindedly put in camryn's toy basket.

Yes, really.

Which I didn't actually discover until after the grocery trip.  So, being the resourceful (read: desperate) mom that I am, I emptied my piggy bank (yes, I actually have a piggy bank full of coins) into a pocket of my diaper bag and paid for 1 onion + 2 snack packs of baby cereal bites at a self check out station by shamelessly feeding the machine coins.

Example 2:  While making bread in the easiest bread maker in the world that only requires 2 parts, I forgot one of the parts:  the kneading paddle.  Which is kind of necessary if you think about it.  Which means I had to dig my little hands through 2 pounds of bread ingredients to attach the paddle, which wouldn't attach, so I had to dump out all the ingredients into a different bowl, blah, blah, blah, blah. . . the point of the story is I make things way harder than they need to be.

Example 3:  Leaving our phone charger at my in-laws house on Sunday.  The phone charger we share because we have the same phone and already lost one charger. (insert here:big fat frustrated sigh)

I got to thinking today what I'd do with all the time I'd have if I wasn't looking for things all the time and just plain making easy things difficult.

Please tell me it's not just me.
