Things We Lost In The Move

We finally did it! We are officially homeowners and living in our new home. We handed the keys over for our rental to the landlord earlier this week and we're just living the "white bread" lifestyle as my husband calls it.

In the midst of moving we lost some things that I wish we hadn't. I know they're SOMEWHERE in the new house, but where exactly is just beyond me. Some of them are a bit ridiculous, some of them would just be REALLY, really nice to find sooner rather than later, like yesterday would have been nice.

My Underwear - Yep, I can't find them. I have about five pairs that I can currently locate, including the one on my ass as I type this. Unfortunately I'm stubborn and cheap, so I refuse to go buy more because I KNOW they're somewhere in the house. On the plus side of this, I've just been forced into doing laundry on a more regular basis.

My Socks - Again, I know they're here. In the meantime I've just been wearing my husband's socks. Even when I do find mine, I still plan on wearing his because I've come to find that manly socks are just a lot more spacey and comfy for my feet. He doesn't know this and would probably object, but what doesn't know what hurt him.

Diapers - Somewhere in this house there are at least two boxes of unopened, unused diapers. I would LOVE to know where they ended up. For obvious reasons, I had to go out and buy another box. Now I'm sitting here biting my nails and hoping that we can find them before my son outgrows them and needs the next size up. If all else fails, I hope I can at least find them before baby number two is wearing that size.

Dog Treats - This has worked out to her benefit. My dog usually gets a treat after going outside and going potty. Since we can't find her treats and I refuse to buy more since we have a ton of them, I've been improvising. She's been getting random things like: carrots, cereal, cereal puffs from the baby, apple chunks, pretty much whatever is on hand at the moment. I think she'll be sad when we actually do find her treats.

Utensils - Thankfully we've found these since we moved in. It was pretty pathetic for a few days. At one point my husband wanted cereal, I was able to offer him a ladle or a plastic fork...he was none to pleased with those options.

Husband's Dress Shoes - He had taken a few days off of work anyways, so it wasn't a huge deal. Part of me would have loved to see him all dressed up with his hair done, a button down shirt, pressed pants, shiny belt...and a pair of sneakers. Maybe one day I'll hide his nice shoes just so I can see that visual.

Adult Soaps and Shampoos - For whatever reason, mine and my husband's soap and shampoos were misplaced when we first moved in, but our son's bath time supplies were easily found. So, I'm not ashamed to say that for a few showers we both used some baby bath soap and shampoo for ourselves. I honestly didn't mind smelling like a baby's butt for a few days there.

In addition to the things we can't find I've found a ton of crap that I didn't even know we had. That will make for whole other post though. Seriously, who knew how much crap you could hide in attic storage? I found out...I've been sorting through the "treasures" bit by bit each day and I keep asking myself, "Why do we have this? Why did this survive long enough to move with us?"

But, anyways, we've made it through the move. Hopefully all of our lost items will surface soon.
