Fact: Once you have children, they begin to hide, steal and misplace your favorite and/or most necessary things.
Going to the recycling center is super fun because..... I always find something at the bottom of the bin. Today, it was the bottle of ketchup that I KNEW I bought and swore it was left at the checkout. It was on my receipt, but no ketchup. Alas, two weeks later, as I get to the bottom of the bin, there lies a giant, unopened, family sized bottle of Heinz.
There were also two princess blocks and a hair clip. BUT, my favorite recycling bin find was several months ago when I discovered the thermometer. Yes, the same thermometer I use to check my children's temperature had gone missing and was found floating in the sticky mess that accompanies the bottom of the bin. You know, left over soda drops and random bits of cardboard.
So, this brings me to my current problem. My iPod was last seen approximately four weeks ago. Allie was using it to call Elmo, and I have never seen it again. Since, I actually need it for work, this is a problem. I have run out of places to look. All toy boxes have been emptied, all couch cushions overturned, and no iPod.
I guess it in the same place as the dozen sets of nail clippers I have purchased over the past 10 years. I will let you guys know if I ever find it, but I am starting the think it may have ended up in the trash can.
This one cracks me up...I just witnessed Drew shoving one of his slippers into the trash can the other day (note that the cupboard with the trash can is child proof, so he pushed his chubby baby hand plus slipper through a very small opening). It's making me wonder about all of those other items that come up missing.
