I'm a loser

I was kind of taken aback when my five year old grandson shook his head and said, "Bee, you're a loser." 

"What?"  I asked him in a shocked voice.

"You just lose everything," he explained.  "Your keys, your cell phone, your shoes.  You're always looking for something."

I was somewhat relieved after hearing his response.  At least he didn't think I wasn't a winner.:)  Then I started thinking about what he really meant.  Why is it that I am always looking for something?  For me, objects don't have a designated place.  They can go anywhere.  Then, let the search begin. 

Oh, I try to be organized.  I can spend hours just fixing things up and am really proud of myself.  Standing back, I look things over and admire my work.  Sadly, I know that it is only a temporary state.  Within days (hours), the piles will start forming again. 

The truly sad thing is that even when things are organized, I find myself looking for things.  I guess I am the original biggest loser.:L

Very cute story....!!!

Biggest looser...or a "Busy...and creativly clever mind." I too, betty, like to pride myself on attempting to be organized, but the piles and stacks of paper seem to never completly find their correct place. I search for my car keys...daily, dig in the bottomless pit of my tote for my lip-gloss 10 times a day...and still manage to not find it; not to mention the morning hunt for my shoes....! I am happy and proud to share this trait with another creative person!!!

I so understand the piling/cleaning circle of life.  I got through it too.  My students always know I've lost something when they see my office is clean.  I try to keep it that way, but life gets in the way.

I am visiting my grands right now.  They laugh when I can't get off the floor.  I would wish I were young again but I wouldn't go through that again for anything.
