Dear Past Self,
Your expectations of me are too high. Especially when it comes to remembering where very important things were packed. You think you can just put something away and that I'll just know where it is when I need it. I'm really sick of this.
You are a loser. And therefore, I have to be a finder. You lose things, I find them. But only after a ton of frustration, and much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. And maybe a little under-the-breath cussing.
Now if you can please just tell me where those things are. Or at least next time, write me a note, leaving a very detailed description of where they are.
Thanks.

HAHAHA! I love it
Amen! I always promise myself I'm going to be more organized when we move, and start early, yadda yadda...and then almost every box is labeled "Random" "Randomness" "More Randomness" "An Assortment of Junk", etc. Awesome.
Brianne, will you invite me to your blog using my bloggin' email? heidib.butler@gmail.com. Thanks. :)
He he he :) I experienced that when we first moved...and every once in a while, I still cant find things that are either in a box or put away somewhere I wouldn't think of looking.
Brianne, what is Bryan's email address? I have a sister in Washington who is looking for a job. She has a masters in nursing home administration (or something like that) and I thought Bryan might know of some avenues to find a job. Thanks! I love reading your blog. It is nice to hear such honesty.
You make me laugh - I love you.
I thought you were being unnecessarily harsh on yourself and was going to write a note building you up; I guess I got caught up in the "loser" in the more colloquial sense, and not in the literal, "one who loses things" sense. I may be slow, but I enjoyed the post.
I hate trying to find things and unfortunately also occasionally cuss under-the-breath. Having little ones around to move things doesn't help either. Good luck!
I think your definition of loser is the best I've ever heard. I recommend the whole family wear the same handful of outfits, eat off the same set of four dishes, play with only a few toys, watch only a few videos, read only a few books, etc. until the REAL move. Good luck convincing your kids that I have the best idea. :)
Actually, I think we are a family of "losers". Isn't it great we can all be happy losers together?
I hear you. NOthing makes me more frustrated than misplacing things. And good for you for swearing under your breath, because sometimes mine is very loud. :) And Shame on You for sharing the delicious scrumptious recipe! Now I just must try it and get a little chubbier. :)
nice story, I liked it.
