Look Under the Dresser

Two very important things have disappeared from our house.  They both went missing on Leprechaun Day so it looks like they tricked us again without us realizing it.  First up is Sam's school binder.  It's actually is "Everything" Binder.  Everything he needs and I need to know about school are in it and it keeps us on track.  It's been almost a week now and we cannot find it.  He had his share book due but since he hasn't been writing it down in his planner I did not know about it and he totally forgot.  Sam's getting a little stressed out about it.

Next up is my wedding ring.  I had it on the 17th, but took it off to make dinner.  My mom always tells me to never take it off but I don't like cooking with it on, it's just unsanitary and meat juices or bread dough gets stuck in it.  I took it off and put it on the counter and that's the last I remember.  I didn't look to hard for it at first because it always shows up, usually in my pants pocket or something.  Several days went by and it's nowhere so I figure it had to have gotten wiped into the trash so Neil and I sifted through the whole weeks garbage.  Disgusting, even with gloves on and still it has not turned up.  By now it's been 5 days since my ring was last seen.  I am sick to my stomach.  What happened to it?  Ironically, a few days previous I had my ring on backwards and mentioned I might just like a solid gold band.  I guess my wish was coming true.  Once again at family prayer we asked for help in finding our lost items and we all went to bed.

Conner came out of his room with Sam's binder.  It was under his dresser.  How in the world it got there, we don't know.  Leprechauns?  As I was getting ready for bed I said a prayer and knelt down by my nightstand to look one more time.  I was really broken hearted by now.  My ring was gone.  I swept my hand underneath Neil's dresser and felt something and of course it was my ring!  How it got under there, once again I have no clue.  I came downstairs elated to tell Neil.  Hearing me, Sam comes downstairs and asks if I just found my ring.  He had just finished praying I'd find it and had felt a good feeling in his heart so he knew his prayer had been answered.

So next time we lose something, the first place we'll look is underneath all the dressers.
