Where do things go when children lose them? Is there a special magical place that accumulates all those little missing items? Maybe someday someone will find that magical place and return everything that is lost.
Right now, we are missing 2 brand new pairs of shoes. Where might they be? I have no idea.... So I'm tearing the house apart looking for them. H wants to wear one of the pairs to her preschool graduation tomorrow. Somehow I don't see that happening.
Yesterday I decided that since they have to be here somewhere, I was going to methodically search the house. In doing that, I am organizing. So far I have gone through about 80% of the girls' room. I cleaned off shelves, emptied bins, emptied drawers. Then since I'm taking everything down, I figure it's time to get all the too small clothes out of their closet and get it ready for summer. So I guess there is a benefit to losing shoes?
Since at this point I'm very sure there are no missing shoes hiding in their room, I will finish the closet and move on to the playroom. Ah, the playroom.... That is an adventure in and of itself. That will take about a week and requires a post of its own.......
Maybe the shoes are hiding with my expensive blue nail polish and the dresser drawer knob that has been missing for the last 2 years. One can dream, right?
My daughter lost her beloved baby one time....which she couldn't sleep without. I spent an hour looking for it all while she cried in her bed. I finally gave up and went to do laundry. Low and behold, baby was in the dryer and not because I put her there. Check your dryer. :)
