I can't even believe it, but I found my other earring today. You guys, I have gone a little crazy. I have picked up and shaken out all rugs (they are heavy and gross, FYI), moved and cleaned under all beds, emptied and cleaned all closets, moved and swept under my washer and dryer, gone through the trash (twice), and even sifted through the dirt in the front yard (two days after an ice storm). And then, just as I was planning to go out with the colander and dirt sift again, I thought I'd take my dresser drawers out and look inside the dresser one more time. And there it was. In the corner of the opening of the very first dresser drawer I checked when I discovered they were missing. I know have two lovely and sparkly earrings nestled safely in their jewelry box.
Now the question, though...do I tell DH they were missing (ha ha, wanna hear a funny story, DH?) or just keep quiet? I am going to insist that he take them to get reset on screw backs, because if they were back in my ears, they wouldn't have gotten lost.
Oh my. You are so lucky. Honestly, don't you think he's noticed the crazy cleaning lately? I probably wouldn't say anything and just ask that he get the backs taken care of stat.
OH MY GOSH! It's b/c USM did that St. Anthony thing! Or b/c you searched EVERYWHERE. That is amazing. I missed that you had found one. I thought that they were probably lost at the hotel and I was feeling bad for you.
I don't think I would tell him for now. Actually, I wouldn't be able to stop myself for real and I would probably tell, but I think it would be better not to tell. Maybe wait a couple years. In the meantime, do the screw back thing yourself and just get it done!
Soooo happy for you. Sifting dirt and everything! WOW!

I really don't. He's not that observant, lol. And, though corners of my house that rarely see the sight of day are clean as a whistle, the regular day-to-day kid detritus and lingering daily dishes in the sink are all still around. So, unless he is checking under carpets or paying close attention to the heat vents, there's not much to notice. And I'm always a little OCD about the cleaning and organizing, so nothing to see there either. :-)
I would tell my DH, because I basically tell him everything that happens every day, and I certainly couldn't resist telling him a story like this one.
I wish I could have seen the looks on your neighbours faces as they undoubtedly peered out at you from behind their curtains, though. "Oh, hon, look - there's crazy Alysson again, sifting though her dirt with a colander. Wonder what she thinks she's going to find, gold? Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sorry, I kid, I kid. I'm really glad you found it.

The only thing that would have made it better was if you had taken one of those scanner things out there!

Truth, if I had had one, I would have used it. And I was totally aware at the crazy picture I must have been. We used to have this crazy next door neighbor - painted her stairs in November; weird gardening spurts in the dead is winter; kids outside peeing all the time - and i sadly reminded myself of her as I was maniacly sifting dirt in the freezing cold. I am the crazy neighbor now.
