I think I have mentioned before that I can be a little obsessive. I'm better than I used to be, but none the less my anal retentiveness shows up occasionally. My issue is with not having all of the pieces or parts that go with a particular item. For example: my drill. I better have the drill, bits, and batteries. If I am missing one little drill bit it drives me crazy.
My ongoing obsession with missing pieces has spilled over into the toy area. I have a playroom set up for the grand kids. It's stocked with all kinds of toys with lots of pieces. My biggest obsession is with the 6 coins from a cash register. When I am putting toys away, there better be 6 gray plastic coins in the cash drawer or I am immediately stressed. I know it's dumb and irrational but I can't help it. If any are missing, I know they have to be in the house so I look for them until I find them. One time 3 coins were missing. I knew that Julian and Nicholas were the last ones to play with it so I called Bryan to see if they took them home with them. Sick I know! Sicker yet, I found out that Bryan hid them from me. I didn't care as long as I got them back. I have gone so far as to remove the coins from the cash register drawer before the kids played with it so they wouldn't loose them. I need help!
I currently have all of the coins, however; I am missing a blue ball from the popper, a stuffed kitty from the vet hospital and 1 piece of the 162 piece Lincoln Log set (I know because I counted them). If you have them or know where they are, please return them (no questions asked). My sanity is at stake here!
This slaps of the Shipawitz. Let me see what I can find out. We do have a kitty but I am not sure if we have had it or if it is new. Also I will enquire about the blue ball. Not sure what the lincoln log piece. What does it look like? Also - check all bathrooms, baskets, bowls, boxes. Connor is a hoarder. I will put my best team on this issue. I am sorry I left your house such a mess this time. I have no one else to blame but the kids.:)
ReplyDeleteNo it's not the Shipawitz. The blue ball has been missing for awhile and the Lincoln Logs have only been in the house for a few days. The kitty is probably stuffed in some hole somewhere. I swear these toys have a mind of their own. It's always only one piece that is missing too.
ReplyDeleteDid Bryan friggan give you our lincoln logs are did you get them!! I swear, he takes shit and gives them to people, so i wouldnt be surprised!!! Other than that, we could have any of those thing and I would never know! LOL, goodluck! I am buying you a 100 piece kitchen set for the playroom for xmas.....cant wait to watch you keep those in order!
ReplyDeleteDo as I say or you will never see your precious kitty again!
ReplyDeleteSarah why would I want your Lincoln Logs? They would surely have pieces missing already. I have my own.
ReplyDeleteBryan do you really have my kitty???????? What do you want?
No...because I have the kitty! Well Jax has it, I will return it on Wed.
ReplyDeleteLOL, very true, they do have tons of pieces missing! I didnt think YOU would want them I thought Bryan would want to get rid of them!!!!
ReplyDeleteHee hee! I now know where I get this trait from! Wow, hope you find everything!
ReplyDeleteThe kitty has been safely returned!
