Lost

On Monday I discovered something that made my heart (and stomach) sink.... My wedding rings were missing. And now, three days later we still have not found them. I've interrogated all of my children and the most helpful response I got was from Emily who admitted to taking them, but then said that a snake came on the bed and ate them. I've searched high and low but have had no sign of them. The frustrating thing is all my cheap $6.99 from Kohls rings are still in their place, it's just my wedding ring and gold band that are missing. So, say a little prayer for me. I REALLY want them back.

That is a scary feeling!! :( Sad. I am sorry Jessi!!!!!

Michelle Pyne said...

Oh no. That is not good news. Our prayers will start immediately!

Sally F said...

I feel for you, Jessi. That would be horrible if they never appeared.

I had to crack up a little bit, though, about Emily's story that a snake came and ate them. Isn't that just lovely? Kids can make you crazy! Once you do find your rings,however, I bet you'll think it's really funny.

I already said one prayer for you, more to come. Good luck!

I know just how you feel, Dane lost my rings somewhere in our house about 8 years ago...and we still have yet to find them (there's a $50.00 reward on them too). But there is a happy ending to the story, Joe bought me a new wedding ring and suprised me with it in such a neat way that I wrote the story and sent it in to a contest and it won a trip to Disneyland for the whole family! Sometimes awful things turn out OK, and yes, I still look for my rings. I hope your sad situation has a happy ending too.

Michelle said...

Oh no! I can imagine how you feel! Good luck with the search. I know you will find them!

I thought I lost mine once. It turned out I just left them in the bathroom. But I FREAKED OUT until I found them. I hope you find yours soon! That's such an aweful feeling!

Emma said...

Oh that is a terrible feeling. I've lost mine before but only for a few minutes. I pray that you find it soon!

Chris said...

Good luck Jessi..I remember when I just lost a real nice sapphire earring that Roger had given me and I was sick about it. Let us know if you find them.

Abbi said...

Emily is so imaginative! I bet her imagination wasn't too welcomed in this case, though. I hope you find them so soon!!

Jessi, that is TERRIBLE!

My cousin's wife told me a story when I was in Utah about how she had lost her rings. Two years later, she was going through the "community maternity box" (that's shared among family) to find some clothes to accommodate her new figure and FOUND THE RING laying between the maternity tops. It must have fallen off the last time she was pregnant. BUT, she did find them.

I am going to pray for you. What a horrible feeling.

I know how you feel. My wedding rings came up missing after a neighbor girl tended (which was amazing because we left our kids with a babysitter probably 3 times total) anyway, I had a strong feeling that she took them. I became obsessed!! We talked to a detective and he went to her work and said, " I want the rings back now or we'll procecute." She caved and went to her car and brought the rings back. I was so relieved. IT took us 3 months but we got them back and now I cherish them more than ever. Good luck

Melissa said...

Oh no! That makes me sick to think about! Hope they turn up.

Audra said...

Where could they possibly be???? I hope you find them soon!

I hate losing anything, especially things that cannot be replaced. I start cleaning every little corner of my house looking for it and WHEN I FIND IT (think positive) I always have a much cleaner house.

I lost a watch for several months (Nov-April)by my mailbox when the snow thawed. It was in a snow bank all that time. It still works and I wear it everyday.
