Unwanted Guest, Bulldogs, & a small RANT

We have an unwanted guest at our house. It happens to be a mouse! I have not seen it thank goodness but every night Andy & I can hear it within the walls. We think we might have trapped it in the walls cause we found it's source of  entering & exiting so hopefully we put a stop to his midnight runs to our kitchen looking for food. When I told Emma about it she said to me that we should live in a brand new house without any mice! I agree! I would love a mouse free house. But I'll tell you that I would rather take a mouse over a cockroach any day. Weird huh? But ya those cockroaches are creepy & gross. Not like a mouse isn't, but I'd rather see a mouse. Can't explain it. I hope we have trapped it & soon we will no longer HEAR it or SEE it.

Does anyone know of anyone selling English Bulldogs? Preferably free. It's one of Andy's favorite breeds & I would love to get him one for Christmas. They are so dang expensive. Maybe I'll look at the pound.

Ok so my small rant. I am tired of the people that did not get what they wanted on PROP 8. It's over! Get over it! That's usually what happens at an election. One side wins & the other side loses. It's how it's always been. And if it gets overturned in court then I want Prop 4 to get overturned. Why does nobody think that this is important? Why do people think it's ok to let young girls get abortions? Nurses at schools can't even give out aspirin without permission from a parent or they can't even in most cases leave campus without a written consent from a parent. To me this is more severe then getting married to your gay lover. But what do I know. I just wish people would be civilized. There's no need to take their anger out on our churches or members. I guess in due time it will settle down I hope.

Ok Q so there you have a new post. I told you on your blog why I don't post that often. 

Till next time see ya all! 

I HATE COMPUTERS!

I really HATE them!  They are great when they do what you want them to do but when they don't they SUCK! I had this really cool post that I was going to put up but I can't figure it out & it's not my fault so I'll blame this blasted computer. You will all have to wait now till  I can figure it out cause I'm done for the night! I have no more patience left!

Halloween Greetings!

Since this is the time for goblins and bats, Halloween spirits and ghosts and cats, Weird happenings and witches brew, These are things I wish for you, May the only ghost that comes to stay,  Be the Holy Ghost to guide your way. May the only spirits you chance to meet, Be the spirits of love and warm friendship sweet. May the only trick you are asked to do, Be the trick of helping a child or two. These are my Halloween wishes for you, and may God bless you in all you do.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU ALL!!!!!

Words of Emma

Emma was taking a shower today when she poked her little head out & said: 

"Mom, Gavin is not a girl right?"

Me: "Right, he's a boy."

Emma: "So why does he use my Princess towel after he takes a bath? Shouldn't we be calling him a girl?"

                                        

All I could do was laugh. Got to love the kids & the things they say :)

Also I was thinking today & this is way off the subject but does anyone out there remember SHRINKY DINKS? Growing up I remember coloring these things & then cooking them in the oven to watch them shrink. It was a great pass time when it was raining out. I miss those things. Does anyone know where I can find them for my kids?
