Sleeping

Our dog sleeping....half standing?

Blast from the past

I'm thinking every once in a while I'll be doing a "blast from the past" post. Today's is about Gimpy the Mouse.  Let me tell you about Gimpy the Mouse.  Gimpy the Mouse was in my house (wow I should write a dr Seuss book!) while chris was out working when we lived in Albuquerque. I saw something dart quick across my living room floor. I, of course, immediately jumped up on the couch calling for help. Realizing there was none, I gained my composure, and ran over to find SOMETHING to help me. All I really wanted to do was scare it back outside (my door was open on the first floor, I know, my fault). Unfortunately, as I jumped up to get something, the mouse got scared (my original intention) in the wrong direction and darted over to under the couch.

So, grabbing a mixing bowl (the only think I could think of to capture it), I moved the couch, jumping, screaming, and running....mouse doing the same.  One time, I finally got the mixing bowl on top of him....but only sort of. I realized I had caught him by his leg! Poor thing. So THEN I had this mouse gimping around across my carpet!! With a clearly broken leg, I couldn't let him back outside!! He would die!! So, I was able to capture him much easier under the mixing bowl. obviously. So I did, and then slipped some cardboard under him, allowing me to pick him and the bowl up and keep him on my counter.

I fed him nuts and graham crackers, and gave him water in the cap of a water bottle. I also gave him a wash cloth to call home, and named him "gimpy". I kept him for long enough for his leg to recover and then took him to a big open nature place and let him go.

Loved my gimpy mouse. Scared the crap out of me though!

How I love sugar!!!!

Always on the phone

Texting texting texting. Some of us want attention here!!!

Just kidding he's not always on the phone. Just sometimes when we want the most attention :)

Us sick=her heaven

I hate being sick. And we're BOTH sick :( i think i gave it to the hubby. So we've been lounging for the past 2 days trying to get better...lots of sleeping, reading, and movies (not that I'm complaining)...not much else gets done...so it makes for one happy puppy!!

My baby

So I know everyone is having babies right now, so I decided to post a picture of my child. I mean, she's a bit furry, but she sleeps and cuddles a lot and gets really excited when I come home.

So I think that's good enough for now :)

Will I ever have another picture of me?

Probably not. But here's daddy and his baby playing on the floor. Chris has her squeaky toy under him squeakin away, while she is digging at him to try to get it.

Pretty cute :)
