Mystery Solved!

I am so excited, relieved, thrilled (whatever you want to call it) because today I have solved or found the mystery that has been in the back of my mind for a week and a half. Over a week ago I was cleaning up after friends left my house. I noticed, in predictable fashion, there was one of Addy's sandals dropped randomly in the hallway. I picked it up and immediately began looking for the other. Well, I couldn't find it anywhere. No big deal, right??? Let me tell you why, to me, it is a big deal. I have to spend money on my children's shoes because every time I go the inexpensive route, their feet end up with blisters. Now, I don't spend an "unreasonable" amount of money on shoes. I just have to get good quality shoes with soft leather. Anyways, due to this, my children usually have the very basic 2 pair of shoes per season (Addy has one pair, sandals, that are versatile enough to where with dresses or shorts). Every spare moment this last week got spent looking for the sandal. I even didn't let Scott take the trash out because I feared she might have stuck it in there. Yes, I rummaged through trash bags 2-3 times before I finally put it out. Try stomaching that when your pregnant! I looked in every drawer, cabinet, under each bed, etc.....still couldn't find it. I had about given up and realized this weekend I would probably have to buy a new pair as her feet were getting blisters from the inexpensive ones I already had. Then yesterday I was on my hands and knees picking up toys in the computer/toy room and a reflection caught my eye behind the computer desk. There it was shoved between the wall and the desk. It never ceases to amaze me how these children can find the tiniest space to place things. Often it takes me getting down on their level to find things that mysteriously come up missing (which is quite often).
