Nov. 6, 2009 - "Tom" got "Jerry" this morning!!

Posted in Motherhood


Some mornings it doesnt pay to get up does it?  I got up at 5:30am this morning, which is pretty typical for me.  Hubby is usually just on his way out the door and I get an hour or so to myself and I love it.  Well, I went into the bathroom after I awoke to you know...go.  I did not turn the bathroom lights on cause my eyes were not quite focused yet and the lights from the kitchen do nicely.  I happened to glance over and look into the tub and saw something dark in there.  I thought it was one of the kids tub toys.  I got done, washed my hands, and thank GOD I turned the light on before I reached into the tub!  I turned on the light and there was a mouse in my tub!  Yeah, you laugh! Go ahead!  At first, I thought it was dead so I called Tom in to pick him up and dispose of his vermin, flea-carrying hide only to hear Tom say "Sweetie, its not dead."  UGH.  I HATE, and I mean HATE mice!  It wasn't dead folks! It was sitting at an angle and so I thought it was dead, well apparently one of our two cats must have injured him, lost him and the mouse scampered up a towel that was laying over the edge of the tub and slipped into it.  Well, "Jerry," which is the name I give to these creatures (because they are always getting killed by Tom) must have been listening cause he started running around the tub...eeeik!  Talk about the hibbijibbees!  {{Shivers!}}  My son came in at that point and wondered what was going on and I said "wanna take a bath Ty?" To which he replied after looking in the tub. "Nope."  Well, Tom did kill Jerry  (funny heh??)  I'm just glad he was still home to do it.   At any rate I was awake after that!
