There's A Mouse In My House!

I love everything about Texas except for the heat and the critters!!

My DS15 thought it was hilarious that his Mom, known for being willing to throw herself on a grenade for her family, would run screaming from a little field mouse.

Yeah hilarious. I'm glad I could provide some needed comedic relief for him. And it turned out there wasn't just one mouse, there were two. After much effort my youngest was able to catch both of them and take them out to the drainage ditch out by the road. They can scamper in to the pipe and keep dry. Or not for all I care.

It rained yesterday and cloud cover kept it nice and cool: Huntington Beach weather!! Same for today. We are SO happy!!

On another note, all the deposits we've had to fork out for everything have finally caught up with us. We are completely tapped out financially until DH gets a check from the job he's leaving, likely not until late next week (they're 'mailing' it to him.) And I'm not sure he'll get a check in time from his new company which pays around the 28th.

The good news is I got the babysitting gig in Dallas (OK in our present situation that kind of is a two edged sword.) I go there Monday. I am hoping they will write me a check that day which I can deposit and at least keep us in gas money.

It's a blessing that I brought as much food storage as I did. It wasn't much but it's enough to keep us going until money starts coming in. I may take back the Shark cleaner I bought for the time being. Or the blender. Anything to keep us afloat.
