Don’t these things happen to everyone?

The rain finally cleared, briefly, so we were able to get in a couple baseball games this weekend. I, however, spent quite a bit of my Sunday on a mission to find my lost set of keys.

I couldn’t figure out how I lost such a huge set of keys. It’s got several keys, a car alarm remote, and a mini flashlight - my sons are boy scouts, ok. So it’s not like it was one lone key that I lost.

I actually realized I couldn’t find these keys a few days ago, but figured they would turn up without me having to look for them. That would have been way too easy though. I literally looked for several hours, starting with the places I normally put my keys and eventually cleaning out drawers and closets. See, this particular key set had our spare house key, spare car key, miscellaneous keys that we don’t know what they go to, and the only key to my brother’s house, which he entrusted me with while he’s out of town. That is why I was frantically looking for the keys, because while I am used to losing my own stuff, I really didn’t want to have to tell him I lost his key.

I looked everywhere, no keys. I called places that I knew I’d been to see if someone had found them, nothing. I was starting to have an anxiety attack at the thought of admitting that I’d completely lost that key ring.

At that point, Tanner came in my room with a big smile on his face. He asked how happy I would be if he found my keys. I almost snapped at him til I realized he was holding the keys. He found them IN THE FREEZER. Right where I laid them while I unloaded groceries a few days ago.

What, you don’t put your keys in the freezer? I’m the only one?

I would like to say that this type of thing is a rare occurrence in my house, but that would be a lie. It’s never ending excitement around here.

If you regularly, or not so regularly, do things like that, feel free to let me know, so that I can prove to my husband that it’s not just me!

That’s so funny! I’ve done the same thing,lost my keys in some wierd place. Glad your son found them.

I’ve found the loaf of bread in the microwave once.

I’ve done that with food too! I’ve put milk in the cabinet instead of the fridge before. Luckily I figured that out pretty quickly.

My mom is notorious for leaving her grocery list in the cheese drawer. No, you’re not alone!

You are definitely NOT alone. One time I got a phone call while I was putting groceries away. My dad had just been taken to the hospital, I was to call all the relatives. In my frenzy of making calls and continuing to put groceries away I put my address book (yes this was back before cell phones) in the refrigerator. I spent an hour trying to find it again!

Thats funny Jen. My mom once put the box of cereal in the fridge and the ice cream in the cabinet, when she was unloading groceries. It didn’t take her to figure that out though, the ice cream made quite a mess. Glad it’s not just me!
