Lost my keys, found my patience. (Eventually.) This morning was chaos: kid in the car, teachers texted, me running through the house like a contestant on a game show. Of course, my Tile battery was dead. Of course, the keys weren’t anywhere obvious. After I stopped to breathe, I remembered my spares, got my son to school, ran my errands… and finally discovered the lost keys outside on the swing set. The win? I stayed calm(ish). And I’ve set myself up better for next time: Replace the Tile battery 🗝️ Put the keys back where they belong Reset the spares Women over 50, we hate when we forget things. But we’re pros at recovering from the curveballs. What’s the thing that’s thrown you off lately, where you were just glad you stayed calm and got through it? #WomenOver50 #EverydayResilience #ParentingLife #workingmom #over50clu
I lost my keys this morning. Where? Outside on his swing set. I stayed calm ish during the whole thing, and I set myself up for success. We hate when we forget things, but we're pros at recovering from the curveballs.
I lost my keys this morning. But I did find my patience eventually. Because this morning started off smooth and then ended up chaotic. My kid was already in the car, I'd already texted his teachers. And instead of driving peacefully to school, it's me wandering through the house playing hide and seek for my house keys. And of course, the tile battery was dead and the keys weren't anywhere obvious. So after I stopped, take a deep breath. I remembered, hey, you have spares. So I grabbed my spares, got my kid off to school, ran my errands, I got home and finally discovered the lost keys.
Where? Outside on his swing set. So the win. I stayed calm ish during the whole thing, and I set myself up for success. Better the next time. Replace the tile battery, put the keys back where they belong, and reset all of the spares. So, women over 50, we hate when we forget things, but we're pros at recovering from the curveballs. So what's the thing that's thrown you off lately? And where were you? Just glad that you stayed calm and got through it.
