Quite comical actually. I found a mouse that somehow had gotten into our bathtub and couldn't get out. So I got a container and scooped it up. Well, what to do with it now?! I didn't want to release it outside for fear that it might find its way back inside. And I definitely wasn't going to touch it! yes, go ahead and think "you're such a girl!" because I SO am when it comes to things like this.
I always imagine mice looking something like this....
So I had to think of what was the most humane way to kill this teeny tiny mouse. I couldn't smash it, although one good hit would be swift and probably painless (that was suggested, but I couldn't figure out how to do that in the container at the time). So I decided to suffocate it. Quick, Painless, and best of all, no blood. I stuck it in a ziploc bag and then put that inside the container and stuck it all in the freezer. Weird, I know. And gross. But it worked. And I wasn't scarred for life from having to smash some poor creature.
Oh the woes of not having a husband at home to do the dirty work! LOL
What else has been happening? Nothing, and everything at the same time. I've been doing a lot of reading and things around the house to keep busy and keep my mind off of Jon's deployment. The kids are doing great with school and are getting tons of exercise in the backyard. And of course, I'm not sleeping. Ugh...I really hate insomnia. I mean, theres only SO MUCH you can find to do in the middle of the night! (writing blog posts is one of them) Oh, I did read all 3 books of The Hunger Games and they were really good!
There are some big appointments coming up that you guys can be praying for. One, Amara has her cognitive and academic testing next Wednesday. This is a big deal. This test will tell us if she has any learning disorders. This information will help her psychiatrist to better diagnose her. The next, is obviously the psychiatrist appointment on Thursday of next week. Also, of course, please be praying for Jon while he is deployed, for me as I take on both parenting roles, and for the girls while they adjust to Daddy being gone. Thank you for your prayers!
Love to all,
Mya the Mouse Slayer ;)
