An Embarrassing Story Abut ME

I have a funny story about me.  It probably could happen to anyone but I'll blame it for the blond in my hair, no offence to the blonde's out there.  I was in Edmonton this past weekend.  I was there with my husband so we could have a date weekend while my parents watched the kids.  We got back to their house and stayed the night.  While my husband worked I went out with the kids and my sister in law.  It came about that my parents vehicle needed gas that I was driving.  No problem, I can do this, I hate doing this, but I can do it.  So I pull up to the fuel pump, got out, no gas tank on that side.  Okay, so I drove the vehicle around the pump to the other side.  Got out, still no tank.  Where in the world could it be.  So I try to see if it was under the licence plate in the back for some reason, nope.  Went to the drivers side, had my sister in law phone my mother at work to see where it was.  Couldn't get a hold of her.  I find the latch to unlock the tank, pull it.  i walk around the vehicle looking everywhere trying to figure where this tank could be.  Its on the other side of the vehicle.  At this time I was scratching my head trying to figure out how I had missed it.  Well, I got into the vehicle to turn around and it hit me.  I had pulled the vehicle around to the other side of the same pump.  It was the same side of the vehicle.  I felt stupid, mortified. Now I can't complain about not having something to write about.  Anyways the story is funny now.  Anyone could do it, right?

Mouse Hunt or Mouse in The House

We have a big problem happening in my household.  We seem to be having a mouse problem.  Yesterday night while my husband and I were watching a movie we had a tiny visitor.  A mouse.  A brave little thing.  He was just wondering about the room, we would get about a foot away from it then it would skitter a couple inches.  Extremely brave.  Then came its little friend.  Another mouse.  Again not scared.  So we set out traps, which we've been doing quite often because this isn't the first time.  Then I had a wonderful female idea.  Since they weren't that scared of us why don't we grab a container and throw it on top of them.  Jer did it, I don't know if he thought it would work or he was humoring me.  It worked though.  We caught one of them, the other one disappeared, we couldn't find it anywhere.  Anyways we finished the movie with the container on top of the mouse.  The next thing was getting the container of the mouse and the mouse dead.  Jer cut out a piece of cardboard and we wedged it underneath the container.  It worked, then HE flushed it.  I couldn't watch, they may be dirty little creatures but they are sure cute little things.
