While I calculate, draw, notify, and announce the winners of the week’s contests… let’s talk about the remote control situations in your home.
After reading about some of the weird things you all have in your purses (and I thank you for your honesty, because, quite frankly, I don’t feel so bad anymore) it reminded me of how remote controls just go missing.
Almost like they take up legs and walk to various places. It’s worse then the socks that get eaten in my washer and dryer because I can go without socks… but you take my remote away from me and I don’t know what to do.
One of the guys I dated used to flip out when the remote was not on the table next to the couch. And when I say flip out, I mean he flipped out.
The worst time was when he just started yelling and I was like “chill out… it’s a remote” and he went on and on about how the remote should be right next to the couch just like the flusher was always right on the back of the toilet. You knew it was going to be there; it was always there.
I laughed alot over this and tried very hard to contain my giggles. And that evening I had a dream that I went to the bathroom and when I went to flush, the flusher was a remote control.
The worst part about this is that he always accused the kids of losing the remote, when it reality, it was me. I always have it in my hand, so when I get up to go do something, I would take it with me, lay it down, and then return to the couch, sans remote.
So tell me, where’s the oddest place that you’ve found the remote?
Until next time…


















My 15month old son loves to carry the remote around and you never know where it may end up. Some of the places I’ve found it are-trashcan, pots & pans cabinet, dining room table, toy basket, his crib and the most common is at the bottom of the steps.After he throws it down the steps and the batteries pop out we always have to reprogram it, fun.

You are so mean! Playing mind games!
I don’t think the remote has been found in any really weird place, other than the bathroom. Yes, I believe it has found it’s way there.
We actually gave our daughter an old remote to play with so she wouldn’t hide the real remote on us. She loves to push buttons!
