fairfarmhand Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 At my house, even though I own about 15 prs of scissors and 5 rolls of tape, when I REALLY need them I never can find them. What goes missing routinely at your house? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hillfarm Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I have had to resort to drawing a skull and crossbones on the back of my ruler to warn the thieving miscreants to keep their mitts off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 I have had to resort to drawing a skull and crossbones on the back of my ruler to warn the thieving miscreants to keep their mitts off! That doesn't work well when you are the thieving miscreant. :lol: I'm trying to remember where I last saw my rotary cutter and sewing scissors because dull safety scissors won't work well for making the baby quilt I want to make.

Mergath Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Pens and sippy cups. I don't know where on earth my dd stashes her sippy cups. I have this recurring mental image of myself, eighteen years from now, stumbling upon a mountain of dirty sippy cups beneath the floor or something.

angela in ohio Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 The woman who wrote If I'm Diapering the Watermelon, Where'd I leave the Baby? has a good suggestion for this. You 'tether' frequently used and lost items. So she glues her stapler to the desk, put the pen on a chain and screws it to the wall near the phone, attached the scissors to the desk with a cord, tied a brush in the back of the van for dd who forget to brush their hair, etc. Oh, and here it is hair ties. But we know where they go... the cat steals them and collects them under furniture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 Chargers: phone chargers, ipod chargers, DS chargers and anything that belongs on my desk: scissors, tapes, stapler, pen, sharpie, phone. Now there are multiple of every single item and everyone has their own but for somer reason they always take mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find mounds of disgusting sippies under the couch with fermented I don't know what in them. NASTY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Lilac Studio Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I think I spend half an hour every day looking for pencils, socks for the kids, and a comb. And don't get me started on the remote for the TV. I would LOVE to know where they all drift to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paintedlady Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Oh, this is my pet peeve! My container of thin Sharpie markers, pencils, tape, scissors & white board markers. Don't get me started. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Pens & pencils - especially the pencils though... I swear, someone eats them we lose them so often! Also, socks - I lose at least one half of a pair each day. It drives me nuts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhonda in TX Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Pencils and scissors are the worst. And if DH tells me one more time how they only had one pair of scissors when he was growing up and they ALWAYS knew where they were, I will not be responsible for my actions.

But we know where they go... the cat steals them and collects them under furniture. Aaaah, tethering! Now that's exactly what I need to do. For us it would be the scissors that are supposed to ALWAYS be in our hs caddy, pencils (that are ALWAYS supposed to be in the same place with the scissors), dd's hairbrush and yes, those vulnerable hair ties mentioned. Somehow, I have learned to go straight to the Barbie box to find them though. There are usually several of the missing elastic ties wound around those poor, unsuspecting dolls!

HSMom2One Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 From Blue Lilac Studio... "And don't get me started on the remote for the TV. I would LOVE to know where they all drift to." For Christmas dd bought her daddy a chair-side remote caddy and promised that she would faithfully put the remotes in place every day. So far, we're seeing an improvement, but Christmas was only, what - two months ago? Blessings, Lucinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
