worst weekend ever

i scrubbed my house all day friday. it felt good. layed on the couch in the evening, all bundled up in my blanket and new laptop ready for the perfect night of tv and internet- when i spotted it and thus started the worst weekend ever. i absolutely have this dilapitating irrational fear of mice. i seriously spent all weekend trying to overcome it - of course with a few anti anxiety pills along the way. i had to sleep at my MILs house on friday night. then for the better part - perhaps 40 hours of the rest of the weekend, i was quarantined to my bed. it was my safe place. about 7:30 last night was when i braved the couch again - after m turned it inside out to make sure that the little devil was not there - and only lasted 10 minutes. let me tell you about the torture i caused poor m. he has been sick all weekend. trying to rest. like every 3 minutes i would call out "sweety, can you get me this or that?" because i literally would not move from the bed. as i am writing this post, my blood pressure has sky rocketed and i am sick to my stomach thinking about the stupid thing. i have cursed both my mother and my nana because they passed this thing on to me and it is really unfair to everyone involved.

That is so sad! I'm sorry you have a mouse! Did McKay set any traps or anything?

Oh dear... I remember when you had a mouse last year... you referred to it as "the m..." hope you're feeling better about being home.

You crack me up! I hope the mouse issue gets resolved!!! And it so totally rocks that we have the same layout. And it's even funnier that I didn't even notice!!
Thanks for keeping me company via gw messenger whilst I lose my mind at work! See you next week at school, BFF!

I caught the mouse in our house last year with nutella. George (yes we named him) really liked chocolate and could clean off the traps without setting them off, so I used nutella to get it all over the thing that trips it and the mouse came back to get the last drop and it caught him! Icky but then we didn't have to worry about it any more. Good luck!
