Yesterday I was a bad mother. Today, I am terrible.

Son Two got this new iPod; a combined Christmas/Birthday gift from his grandparents. The beauty of this iPod was the he would watch movies on it.

A few days ago his was packing it for the trip. He had kept it safe since Christmas. I told him not to pack it, as I wanted to download some movies to it.

Now I have no idea where I put it. I have looked all around the computer, the logic place where I may have put it. I also checked on the mantel, where I may have placed it along with his iTunes cards. NOTHING!

I feel terrible. And my mommy-brain really isn't helping. I have a slight recollection of our conversation about why it shouldn't be packed in his Spiderman suitcase, but that is it.

iPods are so small, it could be anywhere! So far he is not that upset with me.

But I have this real issue with losing things. Especially expensive things. It really, really, bugs me. I can't just let stuff like this go.

Daughter sent me on a wild goose chase. She claimed she had put it in one of her drawers. After checking all of her drawers, I realized she doesn't have a clue what an iPod is.

If anyone out there has psychic abilities and can tell me where I put it, please, please let me know!

I too have an issue with losing things (expensive, and not so much) Daughter's diamond earrings have still failed to resurface (even though she doesn't have pierced ears)

How does this happen to smart people like us?

I'm sure it is in a "safe" place...only to be found upon your return from vacation.
