MICE!!!!!!

I've killed 4 in the last 24 hours, but they just keep on coming. For some reason Ilia (our Russian student) is videoing all the dead ones? Is he going to call the SPCA?

The smorgasbord under the high chair is probably the reason.

I've realized that cheerios have some kind of cloaking device, as soon as you've finished sweeping them all up another one appears.

Also some are made of rubber because they seem to be able to bounce huge distances and into nooks and cranny's which seem almost cheerioly (humanly didn't seem appropriate) impossible.

Driving me nuts

Here's what I wrote on Facebook.

"I'm saving one of Tanners "early morning diapers". Why? So when the next person says "welcome to parenthood" or "that's what you signed up for" I can beat them senseless with it. I think I know what I "signed up for" and what being a parent is all about".

Was I too harsh? I dunno, I don't remember getting comments like that 20 years ago, but then maybe I just forgot.

Anyway, when I get those comments it's usually after I've said something about how he kept me up all night or how I was starving to death in the hospital for 2 days. Well people, I'm just.... well.... saying.

Saying, is different to complaining.

New inventions

It occurred to me, as I was down on my hands and knees scrubbing dried up banana of the floor, that someone should come up with a way to market mushed up banana as an environmentally friendly adhesive. Because it sticks to just about anything.

Also, a millionaire, it would make of someone, if they could figure out how to turn drool into a form of energy. Tanner has produced enough in the last few weeks to run the street lights in a small BC town for, probably, months.
