One of the LOST

[specmomsolution]

 Why is my sense of direction so BAD!

My family will ask me where are the socks? Where is my glasses? Where is the hammer? I can find all of these and more scattered in various places in various times through out our house.

But put me on a ROAD!

Put me on a road and I am completely confused! I drive just fine in town. But get me out of my comfort zone and I could no longer tell you what road connects to what..where east/south is...or what compass direction my car is  heading. Thank god I stay in the lines, and I remain in the right lane! LOL

 But I just can't seem to get "IT." The IT being that novel directional device that some people seem to have...like a finely tuned compass some people navigate with thier eyes practicaly closed.They can ramble on about routes and intersections like they were known by everyone. I thought roots were for plants..aren't intersections parts of an orange?

Me, I grip the steering wheel as I putt along...searching like I'm in the Sarah Desert...for the next "sign"

I had a meeting today...and I was an hour late...I was LOST...one of the LOST...

Maybe I should trade my car in for a horse and buggy. I bet the hosrse would have enopugfh sense to get me to where I needed to go.

Anyone else have this problem? Are you one of "the Lost?" Or am I alone too?

I gotta count myself out on this.  I love maps.  I have 2 atlases here beside my desk and one in the van.  Ok.  So I'm a dork.  But I'm a dork hwo knows where she is!!

I'm definitely one of the LOST with you.  I honestly have trouble with left and right, therefore east and west... You tell me to turn right and I see myself turning left.  I have no sense of direction whatsoever.  I love maps, they are my friends.  I get myself lost all the time.

oh my gosh...I thought that I was the only one who lived this way...are you as clumsy as I am? I stumble over toys, walk into door bucks, miss steps...no grace at all....
