It looks like you have a "mymodules" folder _inside_ your "Desktop/mymodules" 
folder. Form the /Users/TamaraB/Desktop/mymodules folder, type these commands.

  ls -la
  ls -la mymodules

(Feel free to omit any other stuff in your Desktop folder listing for privacy 
reasons.)

Or:

  cd ~/Desktop/mymodules
  ls -laR

The "R" option will create a recursive listing. Or you could just open the 
folder in the Finder and look around:

  open ~/Desktop/mymodules

I'm thinking you've just made an additional "mymodules" inside your main 
"mymodules" by accident.
