Lost and Found, But Mostly Lost

It seems that adding a second child has decreased my ability to keep track of things! I am in a constant state of losing things. This spring I lost my North Face jacket. So mad at myself. A few months ago I lost Charlie's diaper changing pad that I keep in her diaper bag. Ugh! I presently cannot find my primary set of keys. Ugh! Statisticly speaking I'm doing ok because below is the list of items that I leave the house with. In most cases I come back with all of them. 100% of the time I come back with both kids--and isn't that all that really matters?!?!

Misc Items:
-One 23 pound child
-One 33 pound child
-Stroller
-Whatever random items Evy has in her hands


Diaper Bag containing;
-Diapers
-Wipes
-Changing Pad
-Change of clothes
-Bottle
-Sippy Cup for Evy
-Snack for Evy
-Sippy Cup for Charlie
-Snack for Charlie
-Toys to entertain Charlie

Purse containing:
-Wallet (Library Card, Children's Museum Membership Card, etc)
-Sunglasses
-Keys
-Hand Sanitizer
-Cell Phone
-Two year old gum, crumbs, old receipts, and other crap at the bottom

If poor weather:
-Coat and Hat for Me
-Coat and Hat for Evy
-Coat and hat for Charlie

If hot weather:
-Hat for Charlie
-Hat for Evy
-Sunscreen
-Water

We were just in 5 hotels in the last week and somehow my tennis shoes were left, a Barbie is missing which I KNOW I left in the rental car somewhere, but couldn't find it the last day, and who knows what else???

I often feel like my life is one giant game of "Memory." When was the last time I saw Cate's pink shoe? Ben's fleece? The swimming pool has put me over the edge---shoes, goggles, towels, kids, sunscree.....

If you come home with all your children safe and sound, you are totally winning at this motherhood thing.
