~12-15-04~ Well.........

i saw my mouse today. so now i know they haven't left for the holidays, it means they are still here. which also means that what i have been dreading, is going to have to happen. we are going to have to get something to kill them. i wish i could get some sort of live traps, but then what are we supposed to do with them? put them out in the cold snow?!?! if anyone has any suggestions on non-lethal measures i'd love to hear about them!!

i'm surprised it isn't dead already! i saw my cat trying to get something under his food bowl. i thought he swatted his mild jug ring under there, so i picked it up, and there was the mouse. he, the cat, had it, but then i screamed at him and he jumped and then it, the mouse, ran under the table. i then yelled for bob, cause i didn't want it to run into the rest of the house. i didn't see where it went, but i am hoping it went back down the basement. my cat kept looking for it, so i don't know.........i just know they are in here and alive. SUCKS!!!!

i just don't get why they aren't in my cupboards or drainboards, where the food is?! not that i want them there, it is just odd, that i don't "see" evidence, poop, of them in the rest of the house. once again....not complaining! just curious.

oh well......i'm feeling a bit better. i broke down and had a cigarette last night. i got a new game from red octane, rachet and clank 3, up your arsenal. so i had to start playing it........and how can you sit and play video games all night without smoking?! i only had 2 though, and played the damn game all night, so i didn't do too bad.

my carpets got cleaned yesterday.....and today already my child has spilled pop everywhere, and then milk. why do i even try?!?!?!?! there were a few spots still on the carpet after they cleaned, and i'm gonna call him back to come deal with those, so maybe he will get the new stuff as well. i don't think they look all that better. plus i think it feels sort of stiff. i don't know, i guess i am just picky. i just wish i could have went with the more expensive guy, but what the hell do they expect you to do with all your furniture?!?!

oh well, it is lunch time.....time to kick grandpa out. i don't know why he has been coming over so late lately. i feel bad that he only gets to spend a few minutes with clay. and clay won't eat if he is here, so i don't know what is going to happen. time to go down and be mean mommy!!

if i don't play playstation all night, maybe i'll update again tonight.
