Missing Shoes

  I am a mother to four children. They range in age from twelve to two. They are all very different in personality but all strong willed. That has nothing to do with this post.

  Yesterday when we went to my mother's house to clean, my six year old wore a glittery gold flat shoe and a green plastic clog type shoe. This is because she has officially lost one of almost every pair of shoes she possesses. That means two different pairs of flip flops, her plastic green clogs, her gold sparkly flats are all missing their other half. She has a hot pink pair of runners and some purple gum boots left...but the gum boots were used as dirt buckets and left out for the rain to bless so they are sort of useless. That leaves her her pink runners but she wore them all week to kids camp and they are soaked from their water fun day. Thankfully she has one precious pair of shoes left that she wore today (her newest pair) but she WAS planning on going to kids camp wearing two completely different shoes. She was so upset when I got her to change. I feel like her green clog and then flat sandal duo might have thrown her hip out or something.

 My ten year old is also struggling with similar issues. His one pair of runners we JUST bought him is missing a mate. My six year old has also lost her beautiful jacket she used for church.

 And that is really all I have to say today. I am cleaning the house hoping to find a shoe or two. So far I found a missing spelling book that has been lost for two months and a missing winter boot...so yay.

 Have a great weekend out there in the wide beautiful completely made for you world ~ and if you feel a bit discouraged or like your whole house stinks like dirty cat litter and the definition of you is missing shoes...I am with you ~

       Here she is...soother, mismatched shoes, hello kitty shirt...and all ~ giving me the look of doom. Oh and she had a full sized full diaper bag and doll in a car seat she was planning to bring to VBS which I said no to; so along with not being aloud to wear those shoes and not bring her doll and accessories she was not a happy camper.
