Run kitty Run

OMG you all – I have to share because it was just the funniest thing in a long time!!! (maybe because it was before 5am – but still)

Let me set the stage:
Scene #1: We have had a mouse problem at my house – over the past week and a half – we have trapped three mice. They are not the humane traps – they are the standard - put a piece of cheese in it and hope you don’t set it off yourself – traps. So – I have a few traps set up in the kitchen and the laundry room. The one in the kitchen isn’t rigged right now – I threw a toy for my dog and it set it off – lol!!!

Scene #2: Yesterday, my son brought home a home made wind chime. I love it – it is cool --- really! It is made out of a toilet paper tube roll and has three yarn strings hanging down in different lengths – each string has a metal spoon attached at the bottom. It is cool!
When my son gave it to me last nite – I was ready for bed so I asked him to put it on the dining room table so that we could hang it up, outside, in the morning.

Ok – scene set – now it is 4:35am. What do I hear from the kitchen of my home? Something that sounds like someone going threw my silverware drawer. My husband and I hear it at about the same time and both sit up to see my cat hauling ass into my bedroom and under my bed. My husband gets up and says = “I think your cat found one of the traps – we should have left the door closed”. I run for the bathroom to turn on the light (cuz the bedroom light/fan is set to fan only) and my husband kneels down to find the cat under the bed. In my groggy state – I remember that the trap in the kitchen was not set and the two in the laundry room should not be accessible to the cat because the door should be closed.
The next thing I hear is the cat hissing (she was really pissed) and my husband laughing his ass off! The hissing continues as my husband tries to pull something off the cat. I am now standing on the other side of the bed and my husband stands up, still laughing his ass off, and shows me the culprit === any guesses? Yes indeedy folks – the cat had a piece of my wind chime wrapped around her foot. OMG – I lost it – I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! We tried to go back to bed – but the alarm went off a few minutes later and we were both laying there giggling – with pictures of the cat screwing with the wind chime, thinking all is cool and having it fall on her or something – lmao!!!
As an added giggle – when I did crawl out of bed and go to start coffee – there was this little trail across the living room floor of the remaining spoons – LOL!!!

I just had to share!!! Have a great Friday!!!

Pissy for a reason???

Ok - I am going to lay it out there. I am pissy today. I have been for over a week (most of it due to that wonderful monthly crap us woman folk have to deal with). Beside being on the rag - my husband has been a little snarky lately. Between comments about my lack of excersizing lately and some other issues - I haven't felt the love.

Here is what happened last nite:

My hubby and I were on the computer - checking out the bank account (note to self - don't be in the same room as my hubby when he is checking that account and/or paying bills - just don't). We were trying to figure out why the "balance" was so much different than the "available balance". He viewed a check that I had written for haircuts last weekend. I didn't write in the payee in because I asked at the time if they would stamp it. Well they didn't and my hubby went off! Pretty well told me "what is so hard about writing in a name - anyone could cash that if you don't" and then because of my past issues with our money - I got the "do I have to take away everything because I can't trust you?".

OMG - I was so mad - I unfortunately understand why he went off - but it doesn't mean I have to like it. So - I went to the living room and he finished what he was doing and went to bed.

It has been little things like what happened last nite that are just eating at me. And I know it is probably me just being an emotional wreck - but, well, you know that song by Garth Brooks, Somewhere Other than the Night - that explains it lately.

Trial by Jury

Ok – I am going to present you the evidence as I found it last nite at my house – and I will let you decide for yourself what happened in my home yesterday when my son was left alone for a few hours.

1. My dad and his girlfriend had left my house for a couple hours to do some shopping. They came home to find my son on the floor, with 409 carpet cleaner and an empty bottle of bug spray in his little hand. The house REAKED of carpet cleaner. My dad could not get a straight answer from my son as to why he used sooooo much carpet spray.

2. I come home and go into my bedroom to take my shoes off. My room REAKED of Polo cologne. Oh – I hit the roof. My husband does not wear that unless we go somewhere special or out to dinner. My husband wasn’t home yet. And the child is denying the use of the cologne and I quote “You always blame me for everything”. UM – hello – you were the only one home genius – of course I am blaming you. I sent him to my spare room to sit and think about it/.

3. I went into my spare bathroom (for some reason that I can not think of at this point because my sanity left at that point and I have no idea what I was going to do). On the counter, there is an empty bottle of vitamins (children’s chewable) sitting there. Now – there were only a few left in the bottle – so I was not too overly concerned until - - - - I opened the medicine cabinet. The brand new bottle that was sitting front and center was opened, cotton gone and a lot of vitamins were missing. OH MY HELL – I lost it!!! I went into the spare room and yelled at my son. He was shitty and he said he only ate 3 vitamins. I told him he had his dinner and unless he felt like telling me the truth – he was to consider himself put to bed.

4. After sitting outside for a while, my husband came home and we all sat outside, talking and venting and trying desperately to figure out what the hell happened in my house. I was still in my work clothes and went into my room to change. I went into my bathroom and lifted the lid to the toilet and low and behold – what did I see? Any guesses??? There was a wad of toilet paper and two pieces of what looked like the filter to a cigarette. The one piece was not in the toilet water – so I picked it up and looked at it. It looked just like the inside of the filter off a cigarette. (did I mention that my dad’s girlfriend smokes?)


SOOOOO – there you have it. That is the evidence as it was located last nite. Anybody want to weigh in on what you think happened because I still do not have a straight answer this morning!
