All last week, I worked my ass off around the house…then developed bronchitis. I think it was my body’s way of saying, “Whoa! Slow down there, Kim. Clean houses are overrated.” So I pretty much sat around all weekend eating nachos and lighting fires in the fireplace.
At some point on Saturday, I peeled myself off the couch to find out why everyone was so quiet. Standing up and looking around, I noticed a theme- Death and Destruction….
The naked, tied-up Barbie concerned me the most. But not enough.
“Carry on.”
On Saturday night, we decided to cook some hot dogs on the grill. That was an unfortunate idea…
Turns out there was a mouse nest under the burner…which Brian lit before realizing it:(
Unfortunately (or fortunately) for you, I forgot to take a picture of the nest because I was so distraught with guilt and sadness- I thought for sure we roasted a whole rodent family. But guess what? There were no bodies. On a hunch, I told Brian to open the grill’s cabinet doors. He did, and there they were, two adorable mice! They reminded me of my own childhood pet mice, minus the Salmonella & Typhoid fever.
They ran around for a bit while I named them, then they hopped through the back of the cabinet and scampered off into the cold, dark, starry night- her riding on the back of a squirrel as they followed the North Star in search of a manger in which to birth their little Mouse Savior. That’s right, I’ve already written and cast a movie about their life based on the 1965 film “The Greatest Story Ever Told”. It’s called “The Mouse-siah”, and it stars Stuart Little as Cheesus Christ.
On Sunday, I hired two college kids to clean up the leaves in our yard while Brian & Collin watched football, Ana tested & perfected 32 different restraining knots, and I continued to stare at the fireplace and stuff my face.
Then on Sunday night, while feeling like a fat sloth, I received this text…
I said to myself, “Hmm…I don’t know an Emma. I should probably click on this and find out what it is.”
So I did…
WTF, Universe?
So then I replied…
Oh, and apparently a wind storm came through while we slept last night…blowing leaves into our yard.
Only our yard. But we didn’t get hit by any tornados, like most of the country, so I should probably shut the hell up.
