Multiplying like... | Pad Patter 2.15

Is there anything that seems to just multiply at your place?

No rabbits here but after some kitchen rearranging, I'm starting to think I have an addicition to buying plastic containers (like the Tupperware/ Sistema kind for food storage) or that they have the ability to multiply - between several years of lunchboxes and various colours and shapes and sizes for leftovers (that I can never find the right lid for, which started all of this), they were just everywhere, and ironically, i bought more plastic tub things to store them in for inside the pantry. So that and snails, we have at least 50 tiny snails in the fish tank now. One stowed away with some aquatic plants apparently and who knew but they multiply like crazy

 

i swear those Littlest Pet Shops and Beanie Boo plush toys can multiply by themselves! Lucky they are cute and i'm glad DD really missed the Shopkins craze!

 

This is the best sort of problem to have!

 

i LOL'd at Sprinkle Freak! Learning to 'colour my own sugar' for snowy crystals a few cakes back with Olaf was a game changer, i don't need to buy every colour anymore but those hundreds and thousands sure multiply!

 

it's so true and it makes me scared to vacuum, should i inadvertently suck up the important-est piece to the batmobile or something (we have a ducted vacuum system, it's a pain to retrieve anything!)

 

I agree, and yet somehow in an annoying laundry multiplication paradox, socks still seem to vanish, well individual ones

 

I will now think of you as 'justacardgirl' it's good to be prepared though, in the words of scouts everywhere, (and obviously i dont spend enough time in the card section b/cos i didn't know pet sympathy was a thing, but it makes total sense and of course hallmark etc would see that opportunity!

 

'cheese and dust bunnies' sounds like a bad country song title and i love it! (that said, i admit to having bought all our bunch of different cheeses all in one shop once and wondering what the checkout person must think with my bag of grated mozzarella (for DS), bag of grated tasty/cheddar (for DD), parmesan for pasta, pre-sliced tasty for sandwiches, block of colby for cheese cubes, container of cream cheese (instead of butter)... i do try to alternate what we run out of so i'm not buying them all at once after this one time but most days there is a shelf in the fridge full of just cheese products... we have more moulted feathers than dust bunnies though; cheese and feathers doesn't have quite the same ring to it

 

i think we would benefit from implementing this rule too! shoe storage is a problem for me personally, DH not so much and he never fails to remind me how much i encroach on his shoe space!
