Ok yesterday I ventured to clean my whole house top to bottom which I havent been able to do on my own for a few months due to hurting my back... I have been supervising the older kids and hubby and getting done what I was able. However......I cleaned everything including all the kitchen drawers out and this weird phenomenon has occured.......

I have 10 Lg spoons and 5 butter knives in my silver drawer and everything else has vanished!!!!!

Am I the only one with silverware monsters in their home?!?!?!?

HELP!!!!!

I am telling ya girl! It seems so!!! Socks are a no talk issue in my house right now! I went thru every single drawer and closet over the last month and I have sitting in my den on one of the couches a basket full of socks with no matched! An entire basket going in the trash!!! I should take stock in Peds!!!!

Living alone does have it's perks!

AG go to Costco and buy plastic ware and let them have at it!

oh dont get me started....

we have the same issue as Ferd...our glasses just DISAPPEAR. I am pretty certian that they get broken and discarded before I find out about it....(I've found slivers of glass in the sink) Although I did buy unbreakable glasses to alleviate THAT problem but out of two sets of four, we have 2 glasses left....Again I suspect them getting thrown out before I see their condition. ((I cannot stand when they do not rinse out their glass and you have growth or some morphed dairy product from leftover milk)) - I think they throw them away to protect themselves..

SO I buy plastic cups to solve the problem...then they get a NEW cup with EVERY drink they get.....I'm talking 5-6 cups or more, in a DAY. They get water and ice out of the fridge door and get a new cup every time...

totally drives me crazy. I literally have to hide the cups after they get one and make them go find their cup and reuse it.

the worst offender? MY HUSBAND.

they are lucky I dont make them go outside and use the hose.
