We've all had that moment of panic. The moment when something important isn't where you left it. Or where you thought you left it. I confess, I have these moments of panic more often than the average person.
I'm horribly, horribly disorganized when it comes to papers. It doesn't help that I also have a mischievous toddler who LOVES papers, and really loves to throw things away. I'm in the habit of checking the garbage can every time I throw something away, just in case he has tossed a toy, book, or important document in there.
Today I had that moment of panic when I realized I was missing my license and debit card.
What ensued was two frantic hours of tearing apart the living room and kitchen, going through every pile of papers, every end table drawer, my laundry, Levi's room (as he loves to hide his favorite objects in there), and eventually the garbage. Turns out the kiddo had hidden the cards under the tablecloth on the table.
Good news #1: during the process of searching, I was able to toss a bag full of old greeting cards, coupons, receipts, and other odds and ends.
Good news #2: I realized that as I got rid of stuff, there would be fewer of those moments of panic. Thank goodness!
