Internet issues

Ugh, so for almost a week we've been having issues with our internet. We will be online and then the lights on the modem start to blink and we can't get online. When we called Comcast they said it sounded like the splitter outside, and if they had to fix it it would cost US $50....WTF?!?!? Z brought a splitter home and changed it and we still had issues so we were told it could be the modem, so we exchanged the modem and it seemed to work.......for about half of the day on Friday. Now Comcast is supposed to come out later this afternoon to see what's going on. I'm sorry, but their customer service is not the greatest........add to the mix that aunt flo is here and i'm super crampy and grumpy.......FIX MY INTERNET!!!!!

Just a warning/heads up.....

Before you use your cellphone after you get out of the shower and dry off, make sure there isn't any soap left in your ear........

#4

Yes, we caught mouse #4 this morning! After we caught #3 I wanted to be sure we caught all of them, so I kept the traps set in the three drawers. I checked them every day and yesterday I actually started to take them out and clean the drawers out but thought I better wait a little longer....i'm SO glad I did!! I replaced the sticky trap in the drawer and am hoping we have finally caught our last mouse........all I want is my kitchen back, darn it!!!!

Caught #3!!

Yep, we caught our third mouse last night!!! I knew we had to have at least one more in the kitchen, since we set new traps in the same drawer where we caught the other two and you could tell something got onto one of the sticky traps but worked it's way off. Before we go to bed each night I always check the drawers to see if we had caught anything and when I opened up one of the drawers I saw we got #3!!! We still have traps set, as i'm not going to rule out the thought of more being somewhere in the kitchen.......I can't wait to get my kitchen organized again!!!!

And yet.....

Another mouse bites the dust!! Last night we caught a second mouse in the same drawer! We used our last snap trap, so we'll have to use the sticky traps until we can get more......I am so hoping we've caught what's been running around in the kitchen so I can get it organized again!!!

Caught!!!

Yesterday morning I was working on getting breakfast cooked when I went to get a fork out of the drawer and I saw it......mouse "presents". I knew we had a mouse somewhere in the kitchen.....we have a junk drawer that I had put one of those pot roast season bags with season packets in, and I went to get something out of the drawer and kept smelling the seasoning and when I found the package it had a small hole chewed into it. We had traps set but had not caught anything.....until yesterday. We decided to set two snap traps to catch the little bugger. After awhile I checked one of the drawers and one of the traps had been set off, but no mouse. So, when we went out yesterday afternoon we bought more sticky traps. When we got home, Z reset the snap trap, then put it in the corner then put two sticky traps around it. He did the same in the other drawer. This morning when I woke up I checked the drawer and at first i didn't see the traps anywhere!!! I pulled the drawer open all the way and there it was.......alive and stuck to one of the sticky traps. The snap trap had gone off, but it flipped over and stuck to the sticky! I put the sticky with the mouse in a grocery bag and threw it away outside, and when I checked the other drawer, there was no other mouse, but you could see where he had ate most of the peanut butter off the snap trap and didn't set it off. How he got around the sticky trap AND ate the peannut butter without setting the trap off is beyond me. I'm so glad we finally caught something, but now I need to leave the traps out as i'm sure there are more mice in the kitchen somewhere........BLECH!!!!!! I want my kitchen back!!!!!!!!!!!

AHHHH!!!!

I had been vacuuming the kitchen carpets earlier and when I was almost done I turned the vacuum off and just left it in the kitchen, since I still had a little more to do. Well, I got side-tracked (as usual) and started clearing a spot in the playroom to bring Tyler's old baby dresser down from upstairs so I could start putting things in it for Nibbles. Well, I got the spot cleared and saw it really needed to be vacuumed. So I unhooked the hose from the unit so I could get all the dog and cat hair along the wall, and just left the unit itself in the kitchen.....hey, the hose is supposed to reach over 6ft, right?!?!? WRONG!!!! I was only a few feet away from the unit and the freakin' hose TORE where it attaches to the wand!!! It tore pretty bad, but thankfully I was able to attach it still to the other end of the wand and for now the vacuum itself still works, I just can't use the extension hose until we get a new one.

I can not believe I broke my Dyson!!!!!
