Saturday I had to drive across the border to take my SIL to the greyhound station heading south. Last minute I realized the my birth certificate was not in my wallet and I had no clue of where to begin to look for it. Last time I had it out was in January of 2005 and it had been lost that time too.

I could have sent one of my kids, but I know the area really well because of spending most of my summers with my aunt and uncle.
My BIL offered to drive, but he is still unstable health wise due to an accident.

I went to the border all nerves. I got the nicest crossing guard. Of course it helped that SIL's maiden name was my married name.
Pick up time at the bus station next week is in the wee hours of the morning. I don't think I would get the same nice crossing guard.

Here is the question of relating to my predicament. I have been searching relentlessly since Saturday. I have torn closets, drawers, and cupboards apart searching. I kept coming back to the drawers in the bathroom, but it was not there. Then today I took a notion to pick up the Q-Tips and there it was. What a dumb place to put something for safekeeping. But I did it!

I am so relieved now! Not that my birth certificate is any guarantee that I can cross the border.

My daughter had to have her shots record to take to a university she's going to in the fall. Well, I looked all over the place. It wasn't in a filing cabinet like I thought it was. I still haven't found it...she had to go to the Dept. of Health and get a copy of it.

I'm always misplacing stuff

You know, a funny thing happened to me a few years ago. Ex #1 passed away in '96. Since son was only 15, I had to get his SSI set up. It's amazing all the records they wanted, Death certificate, of course, marriage and divorce records, from BOTH my marriages, custody papers, (from both) no clue why... Anyway, I found everything except for my marriage license from that particular marriage. No problem, I'll go down to the Court House and apply for a new copy. No problem...I thought!!! Every one who applies for a marriage license in Bossier Parish is written in a book. We found that. What we could not find was where the bottom part of the license that is sent back to the state to validate the marriage came back. It never got back to the Court House!!! So, according to the state of Louisiana, we were never married!!! Well, I did find my copy, but they told me that in order to validate it, I would have to bring them my copy, and they would keep it, and give me a 'fake' copy!!! I figured, he was gone, and my son would receive his benefits, whether the state thought we were married or not. My pastor told me, that we were married as far as God was concerned, anyway. So... Ex would have loved that!!!

Can anyone also relate to going into a room and instantly forgetting the reason you're there? "I know I came in here for a reason..." but what was it???

My daughter did that when she was 10. We used to send her to get things for us. Then count to 20 and yell out what we had sent her for. Then count to 20 again and call out a reminder that she was actually sent to get something.
It was hilarious!

LOL or call the wrong person. I looked up my bro's cell phone number and dailed it. He answered and I asked my question and he said "You know you called Andre right?" I was trying to call Charles! I had Charles name on Andres cell phone number.

I put some important documents under the baby's playpen mattress for safekeeping. When we didn't need the playpen any longer, I folded it up and put it in the closet. When I needed the documents, I couldn't find them.

It cost $400 to get the documents replaced. Then I found the originals I had hidden.
