Lost Keys. (Guest Blogger, Laura V)


I am offering up a reward for the person who can find my KEYS. Yes I am one of those folks who keeps all the keys on one ring, easier having everything in one spot but a nightmare if you lose the ring.  A few weeks back, I posted a message about UCLA in my house (U Can’t Locate Anything)….well, this is what I was afraid of.
The Facts:
-I know my keys have to be somewhere in or around the house because my car is parked in the garage.
-I know I had them last yesterday when I picked up the girl from school (At this point she is not my bella ballerina but Suspect UNO)
-I didn’t go anywhere else last night after I got ‘the girl’ from school.
-My little monkey can’t reach the key rack and I am pretty sure I put it up there because I remember missing the key rack twice and bending over to pick them up and joked about doing crunches J

The Suspects:

-Suspect Uno is the girl……she has done this before and has an extensive history of moving my stuff around-just because. Matter of fact she had my keys last week to get in the car before her dad and the hubby left them in front of the garage door with a text message letting me know they were out there (Why couldn’t you just put them back on the rack?)

-Suspect #2 is the hubby, he meets the height requirement

-Suspect #3 the 14 month old lil monkey that I just had to get off the bar stool….. something tells me if he can climb in and out of the walker and on the breakfast bar, he MAY have scooted a barstool over to get the keys but that would require him to put it back and get down and he can’t do that yet! (This one is a streeeeeetch)

I discovered the keys were missing at 8 this morning right before heading to a playdate……. That was a no go. Then I was occupied with baby and school work, so didn’t realize it was 10 minutes until school let out………talk about a sprint. We live around the corner about a 20 minute walk to the school, so no big, except the stroller was locked in the truck and I had to employ the back up stroller….. I totally forgot how to work that thing! 
I was down to the 5 minute mark, I threw my monkey in the stroller and hit the pavement. I swear if you would have looked out your window and saw me running through the neighborhood you would have died laughing. Too bad I can’t put a before and after pic up of my hair or can I? Anyway, this is why I need my key! Lol DH is home with the spare but I don’t want to only be down to a single key. Oh man, I am just curious to see where I find them.  I am confident I will close this case but know that I find stuff in the weirdest places.

The Rewards:

-A few cookies for Suspect Uno and an hour of TV <-she added in the TV ????? Hmmm, plea pargin?

-A cookie if lil monky strolls around the corner with them

A little hubba hubba with a cherry on top if DH finds them ;)

Gotta go, DH wants to go jogging (eye role)….. I already did my jog today! 


Laura lives in Pensacola with her husband and 2 kids.
