Boy, do I feel organized! I actually have this week's gluten free meals prepared and our menu squared away! Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of 10 hour work days. If only the laundry was done...

We had an interesting weekend. We were at home for once, which was wonderful, and we had a mouse in our AC duct work.

We discovered the mouse as we were watching a movie on Saturday night. Two of the cats, Max and Maya, were sitting patiently at the AC duct vent in the living room. They sat there for over an hour, we could not figure out why. Every now and then I heard a faint noise that sort of sounded like a cricket. I was a little nervous because we were watching a movie with lots of suspense.

A bit later, I walked towards the back of the house and I immediately noticed a loud metal grating sound in the guest bedroom. I yelled for Michael and he came running (because I certainly wasn't opening that door by myself) and went in. There, in the AC duct vent, was a little brown mouse chewing on the metal grate trying to get out. As soon as he saw Michael, the mouse ran. And I panicked. HOW do you get a mouse out of your AC ductwork?

This is how. At least Michael's idea of how:



I love how Max is keeping an eye on things.

I love my creative husband. It didn't work... but it was still creative!

Michael also found a snake in the yard when he was mowing on Saturday. I think this is snake # 5 we've found this year. Michael wanted to keep it, as he reasoned it was a friendly snake. I disagreed.






Still hungry?
