Sometimes on this journey of using time wisely, I find myself frustrated at myself. Today is such a case.
This past week, I have been absorbed in curricula. Having gathered about 90% of what we think we need for this coming year, I’m at the end of the gathering stage.
However, I’m stuck.
I’m not using time wisely as I’m searching for the hidden safe place where I placed my son’s second grade Bible cards.
I remember taking the cards out of the sheet protectors at the end of the 2012-2013 school year. The cards are in my house somewhere.
I put them in a safe place, and that place is so safe that I cannot find them.
Thus far, I’ve looked in the following places:
- School bookshelf
- Craft bookshelf
- Reading bookshelf
- Totes from all school years
- School supply cabinet
- My bookshelves behind my desk
- Homeschooling cubbies
Honestly, I’m out of options of where to look. Paul thinks that inspiration will come to me around 4:00 a.m. whereby I realize where I placed them. Rise from bed closing the door behind me as I click on lights and discover the hidden safe place.
Though I hope I get that inspiration, I would rather have it during waking hours. But if inspiration strikes in the middle of the night, then I will gladly find them because I’ll sleep better knowing I’ve found them.
The journey of using time wisely is not always a success. Losing things drives me crazy. I have a place for everything and work very hard to put everything in its place.
If someone has a suggestion of where the hidden safe place is for our second grade Bible cards, then please share? I’m open to all recommendations. I will keep looking, but I’ve already wasted over half a day searching.
If you are also searching for the hidden safe place of an item, then you are not alone. Those who know me well, are usually surprised when I have lost something. However, it happens. I’m not beating myself up, but it is constantly on my brain.
When I find them or replace them (last resort), then I’ll let you know. In the meantime, be careful about where you place things. You might find yourself searching for the hidden safe place without using time wisely. Happy searching!
Question: Where do you usually find things that you have secured to a safe place?
