Blogging Crisis

 I love to write in this online journal of mine.  I love expressing what's on my mind, funny things the kids say and do, and small, every day miracles and gifts.  I love including sweet little pictures and videos so we can see exactly what the kids look like in that moment.  Another reason I love it so much is if I don't record it, I forget it.  As a mother it surprises me how easily such perfect, priceless, and precious memories just get lost in the every day chaos of life. 

I haven't been able to post anything lately because I LOST MY CAMERA.  To some of you this statement might seem trivial, but many will understand my tragic loss- I might as well be saying:  I LOST MY RIGHT ARM (okay, maybe that's a little dramatic).  My camera is my constant companion, capturing moments that my brain forgets and I can't write a post without any pictures!

This is becoming a common problem at my house.  I'm the kind of person who can't survive with clutter.  I can't even think straight if the house is too messy.  I like to have a place for everything so everyone knows where to find it.  Well... with the accumulation of baby stuff, Hyrum's school papers and crafts, Ivy's elaborate girly toys and all the other junk we keep because we just can't get ourselves to throw it away, comes the problem of nowhere to put everything.  So I tend to just stick stuff wherever there's room.  I ALWAYS assume I'll remember and I ALWAYS forget where I hid the silly thing.  

So now my poor camera is stuck in some drawer or shelf or maybe even the freezer just waiting to be discovered and used again.  I'm so disappointed because I had such fun little posts coming up... one about Ivy refusing my help with fashion.... another about the surprising place Delia sleeps... and another just about our every day lives.  

So, I must say adieu to my blog until the camera is found, and off I go to look in more random hiding places in the house...
