Some Mice Died, No Rabbits Did

Which is good, I guess as I think rabbits are really cute. Mice on the other hand, I'm finding freak me out. I actually saw one bold and brazen in my pantry last night going after the bait box Terminix left two days ago. He had a friend that was dead yesterday morning in my kitchen from eating the poison in the bait box. Terminix thought we probably only had one. I believe there was more than two, as the bait box was not in the same position as my DH left it last night. When I saw the mouse in the pantry, DH got his heavy gloves on and picked up the bait box when it was inside and dumped him out in the yard. I wonder who is left. I'm just getting sick of cleaning up mouse turds. I swear they are all over my kitchen. It seems to have gotten worse before it gets better. I hope this one ends soon.

On the no rabbits dying, my temp dropped today. No need to do OPK. AF will be here soon. I'm not really thinking it's important for that to work anyway. Now that our address is in PA, we're going to begin persuing adoption.

Sorry to hear about your temp but congrats on the looking into adoption! How very exciting.

Uggh. I can't believe the terminex guy told you he thought you only had one mouse! It's not like they are "loners". Where there is 1 there is 10 - that said, I hope you don't have 10! I know how awful that is - we had mouse issues in our old house. I had to re-wash our dishes to use them. It's horrible. I hope you catch them all soon so you can enjoy your beautiful new house.

Yechhh, mice. We once had one. Thank God it was only one.

I was so sorry to read that this wasn't your month. :( I am with you on looking into adoption, though. It is really a positive move forward. It looks like we will probably be doing the same when my soldier is home from this deployment. d

Gross. Delurking here to tell you we just had the exact same problem. We also thought we only had one but after putting out a ton of those snap traps so far the count is 21. Isnt that unbelievable. We only saw mouse poop in one cabinet so the thought is that they were living in the attic eating insulation or even worse our wood and wiring. So far its been a week and all the traps are empty. So good luck I know how disgusting it is!!!!!!

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
