Things Are Slipping

I am sorry to report that Adoption-itis is setting in. This is a condition that affects the mothers and fathers during the paper chase and wait. It is a condition that lends itself to minor weekly fits and major holes in the memory, there is also a bit of a loss in the problem solving department.
Not ready to just take my word for it? Think maybe I am being a bit , ummm dramatic?
Well okay then here's proof.
We had to move some things around in the office, to make room for the printer that we had to haul down from the attic so I can stop Post Office hopping when I need to make copies for the paper work. We had to move one of our small Ikea tv dinner stands (1 of 3 that we have). The problem is that the one in the computer room was here so Billy Bones could lay/sit/lounge/sleep/drool under the window. Now that one has a printer on it, and is under another window. Billy is pee-ohed to say the least. We went searching for the other two to make amends to the Toe-ed Beast. One was located in the basement game room but, as Les is having a big game this weekend- he refused to give it up. So we went searching for the remaining tv stand-it's red.
We looked- and by "WE" I mean Leslie and I, both of us- for three days. In the attic, in the garage, in all of the closets, under beds, all over the basement. It was gone. G.O.N.E.
I was convinced that Les threw it away.
Today I found that tv tray/stand thingy.
It's in the living room.
Right next to the couch.
Holding a stack of books and a LAMP.
It's been there for several MONTHS.
I dust it weekly.
Three days we searched.
Three.

Update: As soon as I finished writing this post, Evelyn informed me that she had been wearing the same socks for three days. She said like , oh hey you know mama here's an update but in a kind of, are you loosing it kind of way. So I changed her socks already. SHEESH!
