Found a mouse in the house yesterday. Set traps last night. Found one little fellow that succumbed to the peanut butter in the traps. I was too scared to remove the mouse from the trap so I picked it up with a big long shovel and threw the trap away. Found out that my screams are higher pitched than my wife's. I think I'll spend the rest of the day searching for my manhood.

:laugh:

How are you at killing spiders? Maybe we can make a deal.....I kill your mice, and you take care of the spiders at my house.

Gosh, I had a mouse problem at one time. Every time the farmer cut the corn. Cute lil things till.. I did the humane traps. Gan, the scratching.. Released to fields. until it go so bad. I screamed more than scream.

I had a work friend - she did not know what to do.. Put her traps in a paper bag. Poor lil was just trapped. Still alive.
Soo, she got an idea to put it out of misery - and tied the paper bag around her exhaust pipe with a rubber band, and started the car. :eek: and waited.

Deep cleaned the front living room, did a metric buttload of laundry, food shopping, watched Galaxy Quest, and did my son's taxes. Had a productive talk with him about starting to kick into the family coffers since he's working full time and making decent pay. Not that we need it to get by, but as a reminder that living as an adult comes with a cost. If he goes back to school, we'll suspend it. He's a good kid.

Two weeks before this day is sooooooo tiring for me, glad i'm still alive and my right hand is still moving

I'm in the process of teaching my daughter that money doesn't grow on a tree in the back yard. If she wants something that I feel is crazy expensive, and not especially necessary for a teenager to own, I tell her she can save the money and pay for it herself. She works part time for her dad, and he pays her just like any other employee, so she's learning the value of her hard work. Last summer, she asked me to upgrade her phone to an iPhone.....I told her that as long as I'm paying for it she'll take what's free. It took her most of the summer and fall, but she's saved enough for her phone and we'll go today for her upgrade.
I'm also teaching her basic homemaking skills.....she says that after she graduates from high school, she's moving out on her own. While I raised her to be independent, and admire her spunk, she has no real idea what it takes to run a house......yet.

Had an entirely selfish day yesterday. Hung out with my man, doing things around the house, it was actually nice enough for a walk in the park so enjoyed that. Of course, watched the Super Bowl. Today, back to the normal routine of work, eat and sleep!

All kids think the day they turn 18 they will move out--lol. No idea how expensive it is to live as a grown up. Both of my olders make over $10/hr, but it still isn't enough to live on their own unless they live in a hovel in a dangerous part of town or have roommates. I don't mind them staying here, but they need to contribute for their own good.

I'm guilty of the same teenage delusion, but will add that my cousin and I thought that we'd travel the world in an RV after we finished high school....Haha! Both my brother and I lived at home until we were in our mid twenties. We had it pretty easy. We had to do our own laundry, help with meals, and clean our own rooms.....but Mom was so particular about cleaning the rest of the house, that she chose to do it herself rather than have us do it "wrong". She financed our cars for us, and we paid the payments to her.

As well you should, good man. But if it alludes you, might I suggest this for the next mousecapade. :)
