I'M PROBABLY LOSING MY MIND

Or at least I'm preparing for it.
I'm on a labeling frenzy.
I've had this utensil canister for years!
For.......ya know, utensils.
Apparently now I feel the need to label it.
(In case I don't know what it's for????)

And then there's these containers:
Also had flour and sugar in them for years.
My lunch bag also is labeled with my name.
In case I don't know who I am. Thanks Gigi!

I guess I'm ready to be SENILE!
BRING IT ON!

    How about a label for yourself if you are worried about losing your mind. You know a cute cap with Tauna Pirhana or something. Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most.

    I'm surprised you don't have cute little vinyl labels!

    You are funny - I picture walking in your house and seeing "couch", "table", "mirror", "CAT"!

    I like that you labeled child #5 I'm sure she appreciated that :-D

    You've got it covered! Now just sit back, relax, and bring it on!

    It looks like you are ready in case Alzheimers sets in. No need to remember what's in the containers, just read it.
    I like the idea of sticky notes to identify children too.
    (Please don't take offense if someone you know and love has Alzheimers, not harm intended).

    Ha! That's funny! When the boys were home and in school I used to put their names on EVERYTHING. Lunches, backpacks, rulers, scissors, you name it I wrote it!

    I like the idea of labeling the kids, that would help keep them straight!!

    Oh, glory...I started to worry 'cause I don't have labels on stuff. I love the brackets you included with each label. I thought the tomatoes would be next, but no, it was child # 5. She's very cute. Too bad she has no name. You're very specific about your labels too. Not just flour, but 9 grain flour--my, my...you are quite the little labeling fanatic.

    Love the labels! When in doubt...label!!!
    You can come label my house next. I lost my bathroom today. For reals.
    In my defense, we just moved yesterday...so I'm in a new house & we are still trying to get acquainted.

    I LOVE this idea. I keep telling daddy that we need to do this in the house and the sheds. I tell him it is time to S-5 it. I really don't know the name they call it out to his work but that is what I use at home.

    And the mind thing....shouldn't we aquire one before we think we can lose it? Ya, I'm searching for mine TO be able to lose it.

    S-5 away! Whatever that means.

    Oh, lady. You're so crazy! I get those urges sometimes too. Good thing I don't own a label maker! But you're right... When the day comes that you are senile, you will be well prepared. ;)

    I am impressed that you have canisters with stuff like flour and sugar in them to actually label. People really keep that stuff in their houses? And next thing you know, you'll tell me that people actualy *gasp* bake.

    I think if I ever got to that point, I would have to label my own damn brain.

    But for the record - GO YOU!

    This post makes me REALLY happy.

    WE label everything because it looks good... And so we don't have to answer so many questions from our children/guests/husbands.. when they ask us where everything is!

    Unless they can't read.

    Then it's sad.

    You? crazy??? no.. SMART!

    Sometimes I feel like I need to put a label on my forehead, so I don't forget who I am!

    I have a granddaughter who is blind, and we are trying to teach her to read Braille. Her house is full of labels, even the toilet paper holder is labeled!!

    Fun post!!
