Squeaking by

Yesterday was a long day. I'm surprised I'm sitting up straight today.

I worked 9 1/2 hours (I know, many people work longer days but I usually max out at 8 hours, plus I'm up with Nate for four hours before work).

I felt crabby and just yucky all day. Ever have one of those days you just want to crawl out of your own skin and get out of town?

Then I found out someone I've been friends with half my life is getting divorced. I'm 35 and this is now my third divorced friend. I feel too young to have that many divorced friends, even though I know other people have many more (or are divorced themselves). To make it worse, I can't imagine why this couple is divorcing. I don't see them often, so I don't know what was going on, but I literally cannot imagine what it could be. I'm stumped. And bummed. Majorly bummed.

So last night, after watching Project Runway (Manopause!), I was reading some of my current book (loving it) when the hubby goes into the bathroom. About 20 seconds later I hear, "AUGH!!" and some shuffling and then he comes out.

"There's a mouse in the bathroom."

Ugh. Of course there is. Grrrfreaking*&$paininthe*#&W mouse.

Sigh.

We live near a highway undergoing massive construction and I'm pretty sure this little guy (or gal?) was driven from his very comfy underground home by all the diggers we hear all night long. It's not like I don't have sympathy for the little fuzzster's plight... but that doesn't mean I want to be his BFF roomie.

The hubby tried to catch him (to release him outside) but he scooted into the heater and we didn't see him again. But we both lay awake for a long time and then woke up on and off throughout the night. I just kept thinking about the mouse coming up through the heater in Nate's room and crawling into the crib, even though the hubby promised me that's not possible. (I have to admit I don't fully believe him.)

So we're tired today and I know I will not be able to be home without thinking about that mouse and keeping an eye out for him. And that book is due back at the library tomorrow or it's fine time. I'm on page 133 of 328 - I can do it if Mickey doesn't show up and wreak havoc on my time.

Have a great (fuzzster-free) weekend!
