I feel your pain. Been there done that enough times that I should have a system in place by now. The one time that drove me the most crazy was when my mom mentioned the beautiful locket watch that was great-grandma's that she had talked about and finally given me. I would certainly put that in my jewelry box, right? Looked and looked and looked some more. Panic. Going to look more until I confess not being able to find it. Heck, at the time she mentioned giving it to me, a lot was going on so my mind was going different places. I could have easily set it someone else to put away later, but where? I looked and looked and then finally "confessed" to my mom that I couldn't remember even getting it let along where I put it. You guessed it, she looked in her drawer and found it. She meant to give it to me..... Must run in the family!

Well she's there. I'm home. No crying yet.
But boy was it hot there. 99 deg F! So I'm slightly worried because she has a full day of band camp. I know zip, zilch, nada about the college band directors there so I hope she'll be ok, marching in hundred degree weather. But I have to let go, right? so I put my big girl pants on gave her a hug and told her I love her. We left, got her milk for her fridge left her a fr ery GC.
She has everything I could possibly give her to make it work, the rest has to come from her and/or them.
Who knew 18 years would go so fast?

After doing this very thing one too many times I devised a plan I now stick with. Whenever I put something away for safe keeping I make a note on my phone or wall calendar (depending on if it's a secret or not) for the month I will need it of where I put it. So if it's a Christmas thing I add a note to Dec 1st reminding me (a) that I have it and (b) where I put it. Works like a charm. Doesn't help you this time but it could in the future. I do this, too. For example, we bought tickets to Kinky Boots next month -- but bought them last year in a Cyber Monday sale that the performing arts center was having. I put them in a cubby in my desk when they arrived but made sure to note it in my planner so I wouldn't forget where I put them. In the case of the missing stickers, here's three ideas: - where do you normally hide gifts?
- where do you keep important paperwork?
- do you ever hide things in your underwear drawer?
DH and I just saw Kinky Boots on Saturday! It was fantastic!! I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
