Certain things are missing, or disappeared, or not where they’re meant to be, or just all gone, never to return. These are some of those things:
Enough tissues (Mabel has a cold)
Sellotape
Functioning flashlights
Any tennis balls (which I need once in a blue moon for the clothes dryer)
The remote control
Ah, there it is. Sometimes I forget where I’ve hidden it. Other times the kids “lose” it.
Bubble wrap (because as soon as it enters the house it gets popped)
My dignity
Any semblance of tidiness
The big soft brown woofly blanket (because it’s a roof for the dollshouse now)
My sunglasses
My replacement sunglasses
Pens that work
Pencils without broken leads
Pencils, pencils everywhere, but not a one that works
The pencil sharpener
Black permanent markers
The other sock
All the band-aids except the tiny ones that are no use to anyone
The big hairbrush
The little hairbrush
My favourite yoga pants (I think they atrophied through lack of use)
What’s missing in your house?
My sanity!!!!!
If I started a list, you would be here reading still, next year!!
The hair brush is always going missing, most of the socks and I lost my phone for an hour earlier found it in a child’s coat!!
I have the other sock (s) !
Urgh it drive me mad – Sellotape, the only hairbrush that works, hair clips, matching socks… sometimes I have a MAJOR brainwave and realise that if I buy twenty packs of hairclips in one go, and stash them all over the house, life will become easier. And it does (for a week or so)
The tray from the play kitchen oven has been gone for over two years. I have NO IDEA where it could’ve gone. Did someone throw it away? How would that even be possible? And yet, it is simply gone. We have looked everywhere.
