Perhaps
A sign that perhaps you're not doing as well at this whole juggling motherhood/work/household chores as you'd like:
When you realize, with sinking dread, that the reason why you cannot find your cellphone is that you most likely inadvertently mailed it to Texas.
Because nothing says "Congratulations on your Baptism!" like an out-of-date, drooled-upon Nokia.
Did you really? Seriously? I wonder, if it's on, whose been calling you, and what the postal workers have been thinking ...

Oh no! That's too funny. I once found mine (because it was ringing) inside a Happy Meal box at the bottom of our garbage can.

Not laughing at all, not at all.

But did you stick the baptism present in that handy side pocket on your purse?

Bwhahaha! And thank you for posting this; it made me feel so less alone in the frenzied disorganization that has descended on my life as of late.

Thanks for the laugh. I'm just picturing it ringing and ringing. Is there a fun ringtone on it?

Oh MYYY! And you know some postal worker somewhere is diving behind the counter because the package is ringing! :-)

This made me laugh because I accidentally stuck my new car insurance card in the mail slot with the outgoing mail. Thankfully, our post office is so small, it's rural PA, they returned it with the mail the next day. I haven't had the heart to tell DH this happened, so this is the first I'm admitting it to anyone. It just proves that last week I was doing really bad on my balance too!
