It’s happened again. I lost my camera.
I think if I had an SLR camera I would never lose it again.
I have looked everywhere…the car, the garage, the bathtub, beneath every couch, in pillow cases, under beds, in the refrigerator and yes, even on top of the dryer.
Tis nowhere to be found.
I took to twitter in hopes that I’d find relief in venting my feelings on the issue:
mamakatslosinit Have I mentioned how poorly I function when my camera is missing? It’s happening again. Everything must stop until it is found.
mamakatslosinit Last time it was in the pool bag…before that it was on the dryer…this time? Laina had it last…it could be anywhere. Let us pray.
mamakatslosinit Dear Camera, You’ve been missing for over 24 hours now. I just want you to know that I love you and I won’t give up looking for you. <3 Mama
mamakatslosinit Dear Missing Camera, We posted missing signs in the neighborhood for you…did I leave you at the park? Please come home. Love Mama.
mamakatslosinit Perhaps Jesus makes me lose things because He knows it’s the only time I’ll clean my house. You got me Jesus!! Give the camera back now.
mamakatslosinit Dear Missing Camera, It’s been 2 & a half days since I last held you. Will my life ever b the same? Still looking…come home soon. <3 Mama.
mamakatslosinit Dear Missing Camera, Day 5 now. The search team has called off further rescue efforts, but I’m not giving up hope, do you HEAR me?? <3 Mama.
When that didn’t help me find anything, I interviewed all the potential guilty parties…here’s how it all went down:
It kills me to think my camera may be in some tweens room right now as he shuffles through and replaces my family pictures with pictures of his pimply face. I think it’s really gone this time.
BLAST IT ALL!

OH I hope that camera comes home.. My kids do the same thing to me all the time so I have begun to carry it in my purse lol.
I should wear a fanny pack. My camera is always attached to me in some way.
I feel so naked without it. ;)
I really hope you find your camera! Your kids are so adorable!!!
I hope you find your camera, but perhaps you should just buckle down and get an SLR. It really is the best thing ever.
i’m thinking that camera is halfway to the same place where i “lose” all my stuff when i “need” new stuff. kind of like the time i ripped one of my sandals in half because i really wanted a new pair.
just to be clear, i really hope you find it. i’d be a wreck without my camera.
Am I greedy if I want the old one AND a new one??
not greedy: practical. different situations require different cameras. women just know these things, and i assume pat does not. because my husband does not. well, he does now, ever since i bought a second camera and wrote him an essay-length email on why it was necessary.
That’s funny you asked the dog. I ask my cats sometimes about things missing too, especially if I am looking for the other cat. I think in this case it is more likely that the boy took it rather than the dog.
He looked so guilty, didn’t he!?!
Either that or clueless. :)
Hey, it’s not all bad. At least you have an excuse to buy a new one. Right?
Yeah, now I just need the money!!
I hope the next time you make a video this adorable it’s not for a lost item!!
I hope you find it
That is some amazing investigative journalism, I say blast it to all news stations as is. Hope you find it soon!
My guess is that it got thrown in that garbage can right by the picnic table or one of the kids took and put it down somewhere in the park or someone stole it. Sorry Kat.
Are those real tears? Maybe we could organise a whip round or something? Oooooooo! A camera drive!
Ok so here’s what I think. The whole little girl falling thing was part of the plot to steal your camera. A tween, little jerk, took his sister to the park. He saw you with the camera and he wanted it, greedy little bastard! He paid his sister a nickle to fall and knew you’d rush to her rescue and set the camera down giving him the opportunity to scoop it up! He now has the camera and is taking questionable photos in which he tries out his “duckface” and posts it on facebook.
PS my camera is missing too! Last seen with a naughty little blonde boy! The only reason we’d never lose a SLR is because we’d never be foolish enough to let the kids touch it!! EVER!
Rudy is too cute and sweet to have done it. Never seen a labradoodle with his coloring before.
He IS pretty…and he totally needs a haircut. :)
Your son totally looks/sounds guilty! LOL I’m betting it’s under the couch or in the toybox. Just BECAUSE! LOL
Let me know if you find it. It must be in the same place my TV remote has been for the last two weeks because I can’t for the life of me find that either!
My whole world stops when I lose my camera too! I hope Rudy didn’t eat it.
I’ll be checking his bowels for any lost parts.
That SUCKS hardcore. :( I hope it shows up somewhere! Have you checked your car? Maybe it fell down between the seats. That’s just me throwing ideas out there.
I love your little boy’s answer to everything. “Because?”
I’m going to start using that on my husband.
“Why didn’t you put your dishes in the dishwasher?”
“Because?”
“Why haven’t you helped me do the laundry in a month?”
“Because?”
This is the perfect plan. Muahahahah!
Isn’t that awesome!?! He really has a way with words.
Because…because… Stalling. It’s a classic tactic of the guilty party. I’ll be praying for you…and the camera.
Kainoa is so freakin’ guilty that it’s ridiculous. Because…
Kainoa did it. I don’t like his answers. His story keeps changing. His answers don’t add up. Everyone knows you can’t put a camera on a “because.” He’s trying to confuse you. Don’t let him get away with it.
There is only one thing left to do. Call the camera hunters.
I would be lost without my camera! I hope yours finds it’s way home soon.
well, there you go! You should be rewarded with an SLR for saving the child! I find that I keep better track of mine now- I paid $500 of my own hard earned money for it. and it has 15X zoom!
here are my thoughts…
someone stole your camera because obviously your kids are too precious to be the culprits.
Rudy is completely innocent.
IF you get an SLR camera you will love it, you will not lose it because it is bigger and bulkier to just set down and forget somewhere…not to mention your investment will always be in the back of your mind, you cannot lose an SLR camera!!!
BUT on the flip side, you will still wish you had a little point and shoot due to said bulkiness and expense of SLR that you will not want to carry heavy camera and worry about losing mega bucks every time you go to the park with the kids.
I hope you find your camera. And I hope you get an SLR. :)
haha, I just love your videos Kat. You crack me up. I need more more more. Keep them coming :)
Sad about your camera though, what a bummer!
I am so using that act next time my boyfriend interrogates me.
“Jen, who put all these naked pictures of Russell Brand on your desktop?
“Because…”
“Was it you?”
“Because…”
“J.. Is that him in your bed?”
“Because…”
I think that Rudy looked totally guilty.
And I stand by the tweet, get another one and then the lost one will show up. Then you will have two which means that this will never happen again.
Oh and I am sorry you are sad. I just want to give you a hug.
I lost my little water camera at the end of summer last year, and MONTHS later found it under the basement couch….with incriminating photos on it. Finally, I knew who had taken it!! I hope you find yours soon!
So sorry :(. I would be sad too. I do love that video though
That is great. As a compliment to you, the more videos you do the more I am reminded of Sarah Silverman. I am amazed at how you edit the videos. That is one thing I have trouble with while using the Sony Bloggie. Your stuff is too damn funny.
And what better compliment could a girl ask for!?! I love Sarah Silverman!
Oh my gosh. This is like the WORST! I would die. Die if I lost my camera. You are so right. If it was bigger you couldn’t lose it, right? : ) Although, if it was bigger and there was a mishap with a child and it broke you would be devastated….darn it.
A caper! So, did you have too much to drink over the weekend? Usually, that’s the culprit for me, sadly.
So sorry you lost your camera! Have you tried the prayer to St. Francis? “St. Anthony, please look around; something is lost and must be found.” I’ve been told it really works. But if it doesn’t……sounds like you may just *have* to invest in that camera of your dreams.
And for future reference – I’m definitely using “Because” as my defense & crawling under the table!
I’m so sorry to hear about your lost camera! Oh well, there’s this Chinese saying that goes something like this:
“If the old one is not gone, how can the new one comes?”
;)
( I’m a full-time mummy )
OMG! You are too funny! Love the whole video…LOL!
Okay in all seriousness though, poor Mama and her lost camera. I hope you find your camera. I would be lost without mine also.
You need a fanny pack. A pink rhinestone one would be fun :)
Poor Kainoa. Don’t you know you can’t interrogate a guy who is too young to know he can plead the fifth?
Hey, at least you got the adorable pics of Rudy off of there before he ate it.
So yeah – I totally think the labradoodle looked seriously guilty! He just isn’t gonna tell you where he buried it because while you’re not looking he’s taking pictures of cats.
That was hysterical! LOL I definitely gotta start following you, you’re a riot! Your kids are too cute. “because….because” HAHA!
Uh oh.
I just did a whole post about the love I have for my camera. I can’t go to sleep at night if it isn’t in its place. If I lost it I would totally shit myself!
I’m new to the workshop and love that there was a phot option. I hope you do that often.
Michelle
Also, buy a DSLR. They’re worth every penny. You will never regret it. In fact, you’ll be pissed at yourself for waiting so long.
Michelle
OMG – that totally sucks!!! I lost my camera last week too :( except, I don’t have kids to blame.. just myself! My missing camera post
