Kickstart my blogging hiney

Lately with summer, vacation, broken bone, and kids, I have not had a lot of time to blog. I'd like to change that this week. So I am setting a goal to blog every day for a week. There are some things I would like to catch up on documenting, since that's really the reason for my blog: a journal/photo album of my life.
Sunday we discovered we had a little visitor at our house. One with a long tail and fur. The kind that you REALLY don't want to stay long!! Kaleb and I were talking after the kids went to bed and out of the corner of my eye I thought I saw something scurry across the floor behind our piano. Terror ran through my heart as I realized it was a mouse. After giving a short scream I told Kaleb I thought I had seen a mouse. He thought I was cuckoo until after making him move the piano, the mouse emerged and scurried back underneath the couch and he saw it too. After totally rearranging the furniture in the living room and not finding him we decided to let him live to die another day. I hoped that he would just find a way out of the house. But, alas, last night Kaleb saw him again while I was at the store. He called me to let me know we still were hosting the mouse so I went directly to the pesticide aisle at our local grocery store. It really grossed me out that :1. We had a rodent SOMEWHERE in the house! Yucko! 2. We had to find a way to get "rid" of it. After a long deliberation about how (it was between poison, trap with glue, and instant kill) we wanted to rid our house of his presence that made me want to toss my cookies just thinking about it, I picked the trap that baited the mouse and "instantly killed" the little guy. The best perk to this murderous scheme was that the mouse would be trapped and I wouldn't have to see it after it's demise was complete. So when I got home we put a little peanut butter in the trays, as the instructions suggested, and set them out where we had seen them last. Luckily in the morning we discovered that our little visitor did, indeed, like peanut butter, and that he ceased to exist. Kaleb disposed of the trap and our visitor problem is hopefully resolved. I just REALLY hope he didn't have any friends. EWWWWW!!!!!!
