Baffled
So yesterday after dinner, dishes, FHE, homework, and putting the kids to bed I had grand plans to just sit down and relax in front of the tv. I glanced around looking for the remote and couldn't find it in the obvious places. Finally I enlisted Scott's help. We searched and searched and continued to search. I went through the entire day for Scott letting him know all events that occured... Ashtyn popped popcorn, could it be in the popcorn box? The kids were playing on the recliner...did it launch the remote on top of the cabinets or the plant shelves? Could it have been thrown away? We went through the trash, we tore the couch apart, we looked in the fridge, freezer, dishwasher, cabinets, toy boxes, closets etc. If you could think of it, we looked there. About two hours later we gave up and ordered a new remote on ebay. Grrrr!

That seems to happen to us all of the time! That is maddening. Watch, you will probably find it now that you have ordered another one. I guess you could have a back up.
Like Melissa said, it will show up right as your get the other one. But it sure is funny how your can loose something you use everyday and when you ask your kids where it is "no one has seen it."
I am so sorry! I know it sounds crazy but I probably would have started to cry. Because I know when my kids are in bed I need to wind down and watch something for even a few minutes just to relax. And if you do find your other one at least now you will have back up right!
I had that exact same thing happen to me this week. Dinner, bedtime, the work-sat down to enjoy a grown up show-no remote. But I ended up finding mine inside the blinds the next day.
