a no good, very bad day

I have to say that today has been a total stinker.... This morning I slam my elbow HARD into something and it hurt so much that my body decided to shut-down (read pass out) at which time I fell into a can of mineral spirits that left a large bump on my head. I woke up to Greyson saying "UP, Mama!" I think I was only out for about a minute. I felt bad for about an hour after that but was trying hard to shake it off. So, when Madelyn got home from preschool, I suggested to our neighbor friends that we go to the park and have a picnic (since it is gorgeous outside!). They agreed so we packed lunches and I grabbed my phone and camera too. Lunch was good and being outside was great. However, as we were going to leave, I couldn't find my camera. We scoured the place for about 30 minutes before I had to give up. I know I had it and I know that I put it down when I was catching Greyson from falling on his head. I remember thinking that I should put it with the wagon. Then I didn't and now it is gone. I don't want to leap to saying someone stole it, but I can't come up with another explanation. It isn't there anymore. I know it is just a thing and luckily I downloaded pictures just a few days ago, so I didn't lose but a few (really cute) pictures of the kids at a nearby lake. I'm more upset about the fact that I wasn't more careful. Things usually find their way back to me, but I don't think this one will.....

UPDATE!!! Ben found my camera!!! Woo-Hooo!!!! He stopped by the park on his way home and FOUND IT!! It was right by the picnic bench we sat at..... That is typical though. Ben teases me that I "couldn't find my butt with both hands"!

Oh NO!!! Is it the new one???

Oh, so sorry girlie! Maybe you should go to Australia with Alexander!?? I really hope it gets better--still a few hours to go.

No, not the new one, "just" the one I keep in my purse to take snapshots with. I love that little camera! :(
