it's official...

I am a t-ball mom. I bought a folding chair and a waterbottle. I spend my tuesdays and thursdays sitting on the field watching children crash into each other while chasing stray balls. The kids are taught to play fair and encourage each other, and even cheer for the other team. I guess I should pay attention ... as twice a week I have to play nice with the ex and his girlfriend. So far so good, I haven't caused a scene. Yet.
In reality it's not so bad. I enjoy watching Andrew play and stay focused on that.
Go Raptors!!!!

27 years old and a PK

So it has occurred to me that I am actually a pastors kid. I grew up with them, never expected to be one. People I don't know seem to know me..Oh, you're pastor Susan's daughter. Yes, yes I am.
Makes me wonder if I have to behave myself in public now. But then, Mom doesn't, so why should I.

I need some PK advice if anyone has any....this is all new to me.

oh dear....

You Are 35% Normal(Occasionally Normal)
You sure do march to your own beat...But you're so weird, people wonder if it's a beat at allYou think on a totally different wavelengthAnd it's often a chore to get people to understand you

Hello blogger world

Well the blogs are few and far between, I really should hook up the internet!

So Lucy Lu is slowly driving me insane....
She ate my bread..that was the last straw. I bought mousetraps. She licked the peanut butter off the traps but didn't set them off. I stuck a soggy cheerio on the trap in the hopes that it would dry and stick to the trap (you know when you leave cheerios in bottom of the bowl and they dry up and stick so you have to pry them off) she managed to pry that off as well without setting off the trap.
Last night she was srcatching in the ceiling above my room. I got so frustrated I went and slept on the couch at 4am. She decided to move to the living room and scratch there. So I turned on the TV to tune out the noise, but that kept me awake b/c there was an interesting show on. Yep, I think she's wearing me out, she's trying to drive me out. She won't win.
I'm borrowing Mom's cat for a week. If that doesn't work......

me, my mouse and I

First week in the garage.
We are warming up to the new place and learning to live with the new "family". Little Lucy Lu introduced herself the first night by sneaking into the candy bowl and treating herself to the treats. I found myself on a stool at 3am poking the bowl, encouraging Lucy Lu to pack her bags and move on..... Lucy Lu had other ideas.

I went to Rona to find a live mouse trap. I could only find the kind that squish the mouse into a rodent pancake, so I opted instead for an electronic pulsing repellent thing that plugs into the wall. I left a ritz cracker on the counter and it hasn't been touched in 3 days, so it obviously works. I will need to buy another one for the bathroom however b/c I wake up each morning to find droppings on the shelf. I was wondering what a mouse would need in the bathroom in the middle of the night. A coworker suggested she just needed to take care of business!

my life in a shoebox

so I'm completely out of the old house and have spent 3 nights in the garage amongst piles of assorted junk. Couch came today (a week earlier than expected) just looking for a truck to pick it up! (so excited).
I still have lots of painting and unpacking to do, but it's a huge relief to have everything out of the old place.

Interesting thing living in a garage, I discovered I have to turn of the lights to use the microwave, otherwise it takes 10 minutes to pop a bag of popcorn! But it's cozy and cute and quiet so we quite like it.

The only draw back is my internet is dial -up :P I'll just have to cope I guess!

Bye for now!
