Oh Far Out

I have just spent the best part of 6 hours - turning my house and car inside out looking for a set of keys.

I was supposed to be heading north to some shows and picking up Reba the Husky on the way and needed the trailer. I used it last weekend. I had to unlock it when I got home to let Cash out so the keys HAVE to be here SOMEWHERE for God's sake! But do you think I can find them?????? :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

All but one door remain locked - so wouldn't have been able to put Reba in when I got there. And I was told when I bought it never to drive with the doors unlocked.

So, needless to say, I'm not going and you can imagine what sort of mood that puts me in.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I'm really starting to think that Alzheimer's has set in.

Oh no!!! Murphy's law says that you'll find them tomorrow!! Or tonight after its too late to go!!

If it was me I'd be opening up a bottle of my favourite vino and forgetting about it!

I'm so exhausted and frustrated/angry that I'm taking a chill pill and going to bed !!!!

Always losing my keys and then find them in the most obvious of places. Frustrating at the time though :rant:

Lana you sound like you need to treat yourself to a session at a day spa.

We must be twins (w00t) I am ALWAYS losing my keys and I seem to have a special art at losing them when the car is packed & a long drive is required... did it a few weeks ago at shows that are 6.5hrs away.. keys NOWHERE to be found, kids ducked for cover as I stamped my feet & threw every bag in the car on the ground with force (like it was the bags fault - NOT!!!) only to find them 45 minutes later tucked under the seat for safe keeping :wacko: :wacko: Annoying aint the half of it :angry: I feel your pain :angry:

keys are always in the last place you look.

Because when you find them you stop looking. :b

Argh it's just so infuriating isn't it... driving yourself nuts. Try the dish washer... i was looking for the cheese to finish off my pasta the other day and I couldn't find it anywhere, it should have been in the fridge! I found it later in the top rack of the dishwasher?!

My experience (ONE OF) (w00t)

Neave on here will be able to back me up on this one. It was leaving for crufts this year had my keys in my hand then went to get some last minute bits and bobs about to head off - NO KEYS - where the heck are they? Searched everywhere (except the place they were in the end) even went into the boot and unpacked half my things in the bags. Eventually i grabbed the spare set and headed off so really no harm done. Turns out id left them in the spare bedroom upstairs? I never even realised id went into the spare room! Thats crufts for you though gets you in a tizz.

Well last night, when I finally got hold of my husband on the phone (tell you what, you wouldn't want to be suffering a REAL emergency - I phoned four people at the mine site - not one of them answered their phone and despite messages left, NO-ONE got in contact with Rob) he reminded me that last Monday morning (after the weekend of shows) when I couldn't unhitch the trailer (it gets stuck) I drove to the local shop with the trailer on.

I reckon I've left the keys on top of it the night before and they've been laying on the roadside somewhere between here and the township, and probably have been chopped up or flung into a paddock by one of the council mowers by now. I went looking for them this morning but no luck.

Still cranky that I'm not at a dog show and it's all my own stupid fault. :angry: Can't blame the man for this one.

What a bummer Lana,

Im terrible with keys too . If only I could get into the habit of putting them away in the same plave when I get home , but no , I leave them all over the place and then get into a real panic when I want to go to work , as I time everything to the last minuite and losing keys dont come into my timing of things !!

Sorry you had to miss a show :rant:

I bought a "Sugarland" CD recently and its got a song called "It Happens" - I love to sing it - I reckon I need to learn to live by it ....

Chorus is ...

Now its poor me, why me, oh me, boring

The same old worn out blah blah story

There's no good explanation for it at all

Ain't no rhyme or reason

No complicated meaning

Ain't no need to overthink it

Let go, laughing

Life don't go quite like you planned it

We try so hard to understand it

The irrefutable, indisputable fact is ...

shhhh .... It happens

At a dog show years ago as I was packing up I closed the boot and then tried to find my keys to move the car so I could put the trailer on - did a huge search throughout the car and all around it the only thing I could think of that I had locked them in the boot, a kind soul broke the lock and as we lifted the boot we heard a jangle and my keys fell from the branch they had hooked on when from when the boot was opened up earlier in the day and upon closing it the keys had snaged, so broken boot lock for nothing now I'm a stresser about keys, I have a key on my car keys, on my spares, one in the tack box, one in my grooming box and just for safe measure Ray has one on his set of keys. :teehee:
