I don't freak out over many things, but when this happened to me I acted like a big wuss!
I was driving to work the other day, just bee-bopping along, only about 5 miles to go before I'm there. Something catches my attention on the dash over on the passenger side, and when I look over I see a FREAKING MOUSE!!!!!!
I start screaming (literally!) I roll the window down & keep telling the little guy to just jump, it will only hurt for a minute. It acts like it's going to, then turns & runs over to in front of me. I have no where to pull over so I just keep screaming while it runs back & forth on my dash.
I finally get to a place I can pull off (a gas station) & I whip it in there all Mario Andretti style & slam it into park while jumping out. I find the first person I see & run over to them. "You have to help me" I say to the guy, and he looks at me like I'm being chased or something. "No seriously, you have to help me, I have a mouse in my car, and I cant drive with it in there" The guy backs up & gives me the look of "you are on your own." I think he decided to help me when he saw my knees shaking & thought I might just cry.
He asks if he can open the doors and of course I tell him go for it. So we open all the doors on my van, its just sitting there wide open in the middle of the gas station. People are driving by trying to figure out whats going on, because all the while I'm dancing around like a crazy woman.
The guy tells me to keep an eye on it & make sure it doesn't go down into my dash. I'm on the phone with my boss telling her I'm going to be late, and why & she is hysterical laughing at me. While shes laughing at me, the little fucker goes down into my dash. I yell for the guy & tell him hes gone, and about the that time I see it go running across my floorboards to the back of the van. We start chasing that thing all over until , finally the guy says "I think it crawled out the drivers side" YOU THINK?!?!?! I can't get into the car unless you are 100% sure!!!
He assures me that its fine & Ill be fine. I think he didn't want to help me anymore cause he was scared too. By now I'm on the phone with The Husband (he is hysterical laughing at me too) & he keeps telling me to get in the car, but I just physically cant get in! I'm so scared that its still in there that I keep psyching myself out.
Finally I get in, but I'm driving with one foot in the seat & sitting straight up so I can see the whole dash, just in case. When I get to work, my boss is still laughing her ass off at me. She says "Best I'm gonna be late for work call, EVER" Thanks, glad my misfortune is funny to you!
Still not sure if the little bugger got out, but I haven't seen him since. The Husband said to put a mouse trap in the back, but I'm not sure that would be any better. I can just imagine me driving down the road when I hear the damn thing snap! I would probably wreck, or piss my pants over the fact the damn thing was still in the car with me!

I have some pretty cool kids..
I'm not one of those moms that brags all the time about my kids.. I know my kids are awesome, and lets face it, if you have met my kids you will agree they are pretty freaking awesome, but I have to just say I'm gonna brag about all the good things they have done recently, for just a second..
My daughter, Bubbles, recently made all A's & 1 B+. This is really good since that B+ was a C in the middle of the 9 weeks. She was upset she only got that B+, but decided she will just do more work to bring it up. I love that my kid is concerned with her grades, especially since she has always said she wants to be a Dr. Yesterday she tried out for a part in the school play & called me this morning to tell me she got in. I always knew that drama queen personalty would get her somewhere (in case the Dr thing doesn't work out).. Then today she tells me she will be getting an award at the end of the year for Most Outstanding Student. That girl is on FI-YAHH!!
The Boy is turning 10 in a couple days, and he is a typical 10 year old boy. Bruises, and muddy clothes. But that little boy kind of faded away for a second around Valentines day when he kept asking me how to let a girl know you like her. Since it was close to the Day of Love, and Valentines would be exchanged I told him to make her a special one. So he did & gave her 4 Hershey kisses instead of 2 like everyone else. He is going to make some girl very happy.. He also made the A-B Honor Roll, and could really care less, he was just glad they weren't Ds or Fs.. He is so his fathers son!
Flayla decided to pop the top on the gummy vitamins and eat all but about 12 of them. Of course I freaked out a little, and found that as long as it didn't have iron in it she would be fine. Luckily our vitamins were iron free, and there was no need for an ER trip. She also made the A-B Honor Roll (if you consider Os +s and Ss as As and Bs). She reads at a 4th grade reading level in 2nd grade, and reads 116 words per minute. That's a lot of freaking words for such a little girl.
Enough bragging about my kids, but now you know who cool they are!

I had one of my moments...
There are things that I do that make The Husband just shake his head & tell me he loves me. Here is one of those stories...
(Its dark & cold, and I'm looking at my phone..)
Walking to the place where my van is parked after work one night, I notice dents in the side of the van.. I continue looking & notice the big ass dents down the entire drivers side..
I'm freaking out, cussing & looking around, ready to kick some ass.. I got to open the door, and notice the handle isn't the same.. That's when I really start looking around..
Yeah its not my van... my van is parked 2 spots over....
Ok now go ahead & shake you head & say you love me : )

Dear God, Please help me....
My daughter is going to be 12 this year, so we have been having several talks & discussions about her ever changing body.. We have had the birds and the bees talk, question & answer sessions, even read through a book from 1970, with pictures & everything. So I just assumed she understood everything, until something she said the other day..
Me: Changing laundry out of the washer, & putting it into the dryer. A pair of The Husband's boxers flings to the floor in front of her feet.
Bubbles: "EWWW gross.. Boy parts.. I'm not touching any boy parts"
Me: "Good I like to hear you say that.."
Bubbles: Well I mean I wont ever, I just mean two times, cause that's how many kids I want.
Me: Umm oookk
Bubbles: Well I mean you have only touched boy parts three times, cause that's how many kids you have.
Me: Why you are so right kiddo, Go with that!!
