Mouse updates and the like.

Today was Doctor day for Lil Man.  18 lbs, 14 oz, and 26 inches - aka Sumo Baby.





Beware.



Shots and the like, but otherwise he's ready for real food!  Hopefully he won't turn into Godzilla and take over the apartment...

It usually is hard to get Husband up in the mornings (well - afternoons, night shift work) but I've found the most effective way to wake him up is in waves.  First, the gentle "How much more time do you want, honey?"  That is followed by, "Wake up so you can get started.  Now."  After that, I deploy the troops.

First wave, GO!


The Battle of Mt. Daddy

Second wave, GO!

  
 
No one can hide.
 
 
Eventually, he gives in.  My easy way of getting up is simple:  caffeine.  And lots of it.  I can take it in many forms: hot, carbonated, and intraveneously.


                                              My mug is on the right.                                                        Ah, sweet sweet caffeine.



Oh, and Gus-Gus is getting BOLD.  Little bugger ran right out in front of me today and dashed under the TV.  Then he went over THREE sticky traps and squeezed into the hole I (thought) was plugged up.  Gus-Gus is wily, and smart.  We had a stare down.  I won.  I'd catch him, but he's not worth enough points for Mousehunt (ha-ha).

Well, it's a Girl's Night over here, and time for sushi.  I just had to update the madness.

For the Personal Things in Life

I think I'm going to have to bring over some of my old posts to make this blog official.  I really liked doing the personal blog, especially with all the new antics that are happening.  So I've decided to keep this one up for the funny things, and keep the two facts over on the the other blog. 

So!  Back to the daily grind.

We have been invaded by a mouse.  This offender has shown up three times, and has got to go.  I've nicknamed the lil bugger GusGus, and he is a fast little devil.  Sneaking around, I couldn't capture a picture of the offending party, but had a mock up done for identifying purposes:

If this mouse is seen, please catch him immediately.  He is guilty of darting out from underneath furniture, making scritchy-scratchy noises, and not paying rent.

My Daddy-o stayed the night over here last night.  He was driving back from ATL to Baton Rouge after seeing my sister and her kiddos, and doesn't do awesome at night driving.  It's great having him here, he's full of stories.  That was just a side note.  I'm one of those girls that will always love her daddy.  

I have to get back to attempting to clean.  For some reason, that self-cleaning house I ordered never arrived.  The laundry-folding fairy is also on backorder.  Looks like I'm going to have to do everything myself....
