A war to end all wars!!...well sorta.

Patrick and I have had many adventures while being married. As I am sure you can imagine...and many of you know, that married life keeps you on your toes! Recently we have been in a war....a war that I like to call, "The Nutcracker War!!!" You see, I have discovered this winter that we have mice. I have also discovered that I would rather have the bugs we get in the summer then these pesky little creatures. I have had many interactions with these little guys. But one of my personal favorites was when I was sitting in front of my computer editing photos for someone, and I had been doing this for about four hours at this point. I was all settled with a full belly and a nice glass of water right next to my computer. I look over to grab my water and take a sip when I see something that almost made me loose the dinner that once comforted my empty belly. There was a mouse, leaning over my cup...and sipping the very water that was in it!! Of course I screamed and scared the little thing away. A perfectly good moment to catch one of my pesky animals and it's GONE! But later this week there was revenge!!! I come inside from shoveling and feeling rather gross, and I was looking forward to a nice warm shower! I hop on it and reach my hands in the water and look down. What do I see? A DEAD MOUSE!!!! How disgusting is that?!?! My husband found the situation quite humorous and had to leave the room to laugh to keep from making me upset. haha! Well even though it was a gross and awful victory...one is dead, and this makes me very happy! I am hoping to win this war before they can get to any of my food in the kitchen...which so far seems like it's working.

So until next time, may you have a very happy holiday with friends and family! And may your homes stay mouse-less!
