Am i losing my mind?

I have been looking for these shoes for three days now. They are not my shoes, not Lyla's either, they are Piper's. Piper is one of Riley and Lyla's best friends, she is super cute, has the most amazing dark wavy hair and totally squeezeable cheeks. She was the hot topic at breakfast on Sunday morning, "i love Piper, she is our family" Riley explained, and he is right, she is the family you choose to have and i am very glad he feels that way.

Anyhow back to the shoes - She left them here by accident a couple of weeks ago, i put them somewhere safe until we were to see her again. At least i thought they were safe. Sunday morning comes and we are getting ready to go to a friends first birthday party, Piper will be there so i go to pack her sweet little shoes... but they are not where i left them, they are no where to be found. I search high and low, for the most part of an hour before i abandon the hunt. How can two little shoes be so hard to find? Lyla i am looking at you, number one trouble maker in this house also with a slight shoe fetish. I realized i would just have to face Piper's mum and tell her the truth. I had lost the shoes. Well it could be me, but more likely Lyla, {i'm thinking i'd blame her} maybe she put them in the bin? I honestly had no idea where they were, i turned my house upside down. I offer to replace the shoes, i offer Lyla's shoes or money. All refused. Thanks to Riley we are family now and Piper's mum couldn't be too mad at me, come to think of it i don't even think Piper knew they were missing.

Still i had the guilt, i couldn't just let it be. I spent the last two days searching my house, every nook and cranny, or so i thought. A good excuse to do a big spring clean, they were bound to be somewhere. I created all the scenarios in my head, of what could have happened to these damn shoes and where they could be. Am i losing my mind? Two full days i tell you, intense cleaning and looking. And nothing, and so i gave up.

Then tonight, when putting away a few last things, and getting some rubbish together, it is bin night after all. I lift up the old bumbo off the side board in the backroom, and ta-daa! two little shoes appear as if out of know where! phew. Can you believe it? They must have been there all along, who put them there?

Now i am sitting here, thinking how crazy like i am and must sound. How crazy i drove myself the past couple of days all for a pair of shoes. And they were just sitting there on the sideboard waiting to be found, you can't even imagine the places i looked, just not there. But my house is clean, which is a bonus, and they are found which is even better. I no longer feel like the crazy bad shoe loosing friend.

Do you ever work yourself up like that over nothing? or is it just me?

Hope your week has started off better than mine.
