Suburban Shalom

seeking peace and purpose from my little neck of the suburbs

Him got 'em

Well, as follow-up to last week’s debacle with the mouse…

Him got the Goldfish.

Can you even believe his determination?

Just before we caught the culprit, I spoke with a pest control expert on the phone about our spring extermination plan. That’s when he shared all about how mice are “amazing creatures.” He said they’ve watched some videos showing how mice can contort and flatten their bodies to be only 1/8 of an inch high, which means they can get into almost anything. This interesting tidbit about rodents makes me simultaneously sick and extremely grateful that my job requires repeatedly watching Disney and Barbie movies rather than videos of mice in action. I would classify those as horror films.

Anyway… we caught the perpetrator and regained control {at least temporarily} of the pantry.

It’s good to resolve issues like that so I can go back to focusing my energies on watching the Toddler… closely. Yesterday morning I found her on top of our bathroom counter where she had poured a small bottle of “Eau de Parfum” on her legs and was rubbing it in like lotion. So, for the rest of the day she and I were basically a walking fragrance department. I should apologize to anyone who came near us on Sunday, particularly anyone with allergies or sensitivities to strong scents. We were smelling very floral. 

Also over the weekend the 1st Grader told me that my hands are so dry that I need to go to a “derk-atologist.” So, if you have a referral for one of those, please let me know.  I don’t want to ignore a derk-atology matter.
