My leukemia's back.

I've done the freezer, but not in a decoy bag. I've got some stuff stashed in the drawers. I tried the big black enamel canning pot, they found that. I've tried the veggie crisper, old cooler chests in the garage, the troughs I used as brooders (empty, of course!), and various other places. Ice cream is the biggie. Kind of hard to hide that in a drawer, but when they find it they just eat right through it. I've gone to going down a few layers in the chest freezer and putting it there. Problem is, then I forget it's there

Wow, they're good!

Wow, they're good!

No kidding! Can I borrow them? I need to find Ken's tie with the cupcakes on it (DON'T ask) and haven't run across it yet. He's gonna think I tossed it, which I've been tempted to do more times than I can count, but I know it's here somewhere!

Well, if you tell them to look for cupcakes, they might find it. If you tell them to look for a tie, they'll look at you like you're crazy.

they still come ask me things like "Have you seen my wallet/shoes/book/phone/whatever". I'm thinking....you're 15, or 17, or 18. I've not seen your wallet for years.......that's yours to keep track of now.

And they always ask about stuff in the fridge. "Mom, do we have any sour cream?" "Yes. Middle shelf, right hand side, toward the back.".


"I can't find it!"

I've threatened to draw a map on the front of the fridge so I can give them coordinates.......

 

[Blooie]

At least they LOOK. Ken just opens the cabinet and then yells. I think there's a switch in the cabinet door that turns his eyes and brain off and turns on his vocal cords. <sigh>

Hubby was looking for a new block of cheese in the fridge tonight. he was on hands and knees, searching every shelf. He was just getting ready to stand up and announce that there was no cheese. i peered over his shoulder, and said... "Um... there it is, right behind the cottage cheese, bottom shelf, right!" It's a defect in the Y chromosome.

I hate to admit it, but I'm guilty of the "can't find it in the fridge" scenario. This past summer I couldn't find something in there until DH pulled the squeeze bottle of mustard out of the way and yep, there it was. That was months ago and even now whenever I can't find something in the fridge, he still gets great pleasure of asking me if I looked behind the mustard.

I swear elves go in there every night and shift things around just to set me up for it.

Somebody needs to make a fridge that is only about 12 inches front to back, even if it has to be 4 feet wide. In this house, if it isn't perched right at the front, nearly falling off the shelf, nobody but me can find anything in the fridge.

Here's my great refrigerator sin: I forget what's in there when I go shopping. I hate, loathe, despise shopping, even for groceries. And because to go to the grocery store is pretty much an hour of traveling... I like to keep a well stocked kitchen. Want to have every thing on hand so I can prepare a lot of different meals... most done from scratch. Now... you know why... But, here's the what: I once returned from a shopping expedition to put the food away. 3# of carrots. Yep, always gotta have carrots... for soups, snacks, simply to cook up for a nice colorful veggie... cole slaw... You can never have too many carrots, right? Well, I went to cram them in the fridge... and found that there were already 8# of carrots already there, some in varying states of white fuzzy roots and green sprouted tops.

Betsy says you can never have too many carrots!

I don't remember where, but at one point I saw a thing where there's a camera mounted inside your fridge, that hooks to your smart phone. So, when you're at the store, you can use your phone to see what is in the fridge, so you don't buy duplicates. We'll all chip in and get you one, LG!

Sugar Monkey has a saying...."Nothing is truly lost until your Mom can't find it".
