*My day was just made : )

It was a nice warm fall day yesterday.  The trees were swaying and dropping their leaves.  The massive flock of black birds and crows desended into my woods to chitter with us all day.  I had clothes blowing on the line while I was picking up and dusting my living room.  All was going well until that fatefull moment! 

 

I started the vaccum up to finish off the vaccuming in the living room and I saw somethign small and dark dart into the hall way.  At first I thought, it was one of the two new black kittens, so I shut off the vaccum and poked my head around the pocket door to the hallway.  It was no kitten!  It was a fat pudgy lil field mouse!  It had run past the stairway door and was sitting on the bottom step, looking at me as if to say:  "YOU dared to disturb my slumber you bint!"  Don't ask me why the lil rodent had an English accent it just did!  I screamed a lil and started yelling for the kids to bring a cat!  And fast!  I have six of them one of them should be able to get this lil dieses carrier out of my home!

 

DeLaney came bounding down the stairs and chased the four legged lil cretion my way!  I hate snakes but can at least tolerate them and will jump a mile and run the other way on them.  As long as they stay away from my house snakes can live a long life.  But rodents, rodents must die a painful death!  I don't know if is because I have read way too much on the Plague or what but I will jump and scream like a girl if a mouse comes my way.

 

And sure enough, with DeLaney bounding down those stairs like a newborn filly with no balance, she chased that mouse right back at me!  I did a lil hope skip and a big squeal as I jumped up on to one of my couches!  The whole while 3 out of 6 cats sitting in the living room and my mousing dog laying on the other couch just looking at me!  I came down off the couch once I made sure the lil rodent was safely behind the couch the dog was laying on and immeditally called my hubby to ask him when he will be getting home and why the hell do I have a MOUSE in MY HOUSE!  By Fand, I have six cats who all mouse and a dog that mouses! 

 

Randy belly laughed at me over the phone and had the nerve to say:  "I can't believe this, you will take a shovel to a snake's head, you will field dress a deer, and you love to handle any type of animal there is including snakes if it is in a safe enviroment but you can't handle a mouse!  Darling, we live in the country, we are surrounded by fields and pastures, they harvested, the mice are going to try to get into the house now!  Either your cats step to the plate or put some traps and poision out.

 

Fine!  After getting off the phone with my hubby who has no sympothy for me dealing with an enemy in my HOME! I decieded that I was going to war!  I already went to war on the dayum bugs and won!  I geared up.  I ran up stairs and put jeans and socks on and then ran backdownstairs to my kitchen sink.  I needed posion and traps!  Alas my supplies were none existant!  It was time to gear up fully!  I loaded the kids up in our tank (the truck), and we ran into town.  Where I promptly bought out all the enclosed reusable snap traps and two boxes of posion.  This mouse was going down! 

 

DeLaney and Coltin the whole time were laughing at me for squealing and jumping on the couch until I put their little butts to work, baiting the traps with peanut butter!  While they were busy baiting the 6 enclosed mouse traps, I opened one of the multipacks of poisoin and started down to the basement.  I bet that is where that lil english accented rodent came in at!  The basement!  I slowly but surely go down the slow rotting steps and lay out all 4 boxes of the posioin in key positions.  Then I came back upstairs and grabbed the snap traps and put 3 of the traps in the living room, one in the dinning room, and two in the kitchen.  I put the rest of the posion, another 4 boxes, under neith the kitchen and bathroom sinks, in one of the bathroom cupboards that I keep the cleaning supplies in and one out on the mudporch in a cubby whole that I didn't get around to putting steal wool in but thankfully is to small evne for the baby kitties! 

 

I walked back into the living room and wouldn't you know it that lil fat rodent was sitting in the middle of the living room watching tv!  I swear!  I pick up the nearest cat and throw it at the mouse!  And it chittered at me in that dayum English accent of it.  This time I swear it said:  "Catch me if you can!"  Let me tell you then the battle was on big time!

 

Well the enemy didn't make another apperance till last night.  I heard a snapping sound while I was working on Winter Solistice gifts and by the Goddess Fand, I had the lil sucker in one of the snap traps!  I won!  So I thought!  I was going to leave the lil english talking mouse in the trap till tomorrow because my luck ran the course were it didn't snap the neck!  But I figure I leave it there and torture it to death then I could rid myself of the mouse today! 

 

My kittens are working for the dayum mouse I think!  I named the kittens Brother's Grimm.  The five toed kitten is Brother's and the six toed kitten is Grimm.  Grimm decieded to go play with the mouse in the trap!  That mouse is not stupid!  With the help of Grimm, he got away!  I lost the battle!  I think!  I refuse to go behind the tv to see if there is a dead mouse there so I am waiting for my mom to get back from the doctor's appointment with my dad to check for me!  If Grimm did help the lil english talking rodent free himself, he will be put up on charges of treason and helping the enemy!  Not sure what I will do with the lil bugger caues he is a cute lil kitten!  But he will be punished in some way!  I swear it if that mouse is free! 

 

I reset the bait trap and put it in another location by the tv and speakers.  I will win this war!  There will be no rodents in MY HOUSE! 

I saw this quiz on a blog that I enjoy, and I thought I'd try it out.

What American accent do you have? Quiz Created on GoToQuiz

I used to have a southern accent, but after years living here and there I guess I am just a plain old midlander. Actually, I tend to pick up the accents of the people I am around. So while living in Canada, everyone was confused when I said I was American. Here in China I have a British friend, so I speak Madonna-esque at times. Other times I pull out a slightly North Jersey accent, I guess from too many mafia movies.

For my first Friday in the apartment, Akila took me to meet some of her friends and then to the theatre! When we left the house, I asked Akila if she thought that her friends would like me, and she said “No, they’re going to hate you. They’re very mean and horrible people.” I laughed and realized that I just understood a joke in French! Pretty cool huh?

 

We went to meet her friends at one of their houses and it was so amazing. It was a huge studio with a wall full of books.

 

The garden in the backyard was incredible too. Her friend gave me some cold soup made out of spinach that was really interesting. We sat around there for a while just talking, and her friends said that my accent was really good and that they could understand me very clearly. That is a huge compliment to get from someone here. My friend Erwan told me that he has a hard time understanding my English when I’m speaking to other American students. I think my accent from Indiana makes me slur some words together and I don’t enunciate enough for the French people to understand my English.

 

Anyway, we went to the theatre, and it was a preview of the season at Jean Villar.

 

There were some that I couldn’t understand at all because they were speaking so quickly. One man had an Italian accent, and that was hard for me to understand as well. However, it was very entertaining to listen to the different actors and watch the band perform. Akila loves to go to the theatre, so she said that I could choose whichever shows interest me and go to them with her. She has season passes.

 

After the show was over, we went downstairs and mingled with all of the people who were at the show. It seems as though everyone knows everyone here, and I got to meet and (attempt to) talk with all of them as well. There were little stations with food to try, and Akila told me that I should taste all of them. There was even caviar there, and I got to try that.

 

While we were mingling, the band from the show came in singing a song that went like this: “Life is Good, Life is Good, Good, Good, Good is the Life.” I thought it was really funny that they would phrase it that way, but come to think of it, I’m probably the only one who even understood it!
