managed without a man this morning...

For the past couple of days we've had a tiny little mouse making a nuisance of himself in cabinets and drawers.  Sooo, I trapped him - "trapped" not "killed" because he somehow managed to crawl off with the trap still attached to him.  Therefore, I had to crawl up into the cabinet armed with a flashlight, wooden spoon and hotdog tongs and wait for him to flop close enough to get ahold of him.  Most unpleasant, but Blondie won :) Had to take a Xanax and throw away my hotdog tongs, but we are once again mouse-free :)

"Dude, stay away.  She's got hotdog tongs."

                                                 

no school mornings

LOVE no school mornings....

- no alarm clock
- time to snuggle with my boys instead of rushing them out of bed
- time for cinnamon rolls for breakfast
- eating breakfast with sunlight streaming through the windows instead of pitch black darkness
- spending extra time in pajamas while having a second cup of coffee
- no arguing over school clothes... in fact, "wear whatever you want"
- no arguing over teeth brushing... just, "brush your teeth.. sometime before lunch"
- no dragging backpacks and lunch boxes out to a cold car
- no fussing and fighting in the car
- no dropping the kids off at the curb, and then feeling guilty there was so much fussing and fighting in the car

this way we get to fuss and fight all day long, lol (but hopefully not)
