A few – seemingly random – things have gone missing from my house:
- The first one is so peculiar – the toilet paper roller thingamajig is gone. The roll of toilet paper (in the master bathroom, no less) was just sitting on the floor, and the spring-loaded tube thingy was nowhere to be found. I looked on the floor for it, thinking that maybe it sprang off. I asked the boys about it. Of course, none of them admitted to touching it. Finally, we bought a $0.97 replacement and shrugged off the mystery.
- Riley has been relegated to plain white briefs until he stops wetting himself during the day. Just a few weeks ago, I folded and helped him put away at least 12, if not 14, pair. Yesterday, there were 4 … FOUR! We have washed all the dirty laundry, checked every drawer & shelf, and I checked his cubby at daycare. I suspect that he has thrown them away. For the sake of my sanity, I am going to check the [ewww] trashcan in the laundry room tonight, since it doesn’t get full frequently and, therefore, hasn’t been emptied in the past week or two. How does one lose that many pair of underwear?! No one else wears them, so I am 95% certain it’s not a case of mistaken ownership.
- Lastly, I looked in the pantry last night to grab a plastic sack, and my abundant stash is completely gone. Wth?! Not a single Wal-Mart or HEB bag to be found. I had at least two or three bags full of bags. Bizarre, just bizarre.
Someone, please tell me that I’m not losing my mind. I’ve lost enough already!
Well, I’m happy to report that the missing undies have been recovered! Thankfully, they were not in the trash; rather, they were in a stash of white clothes that were in a basket beneath some towels that I hadn’t yet folded. Whew! One mystery solved.
