Dishwasher, stolen 4-wheeler and more waxing poetic.

Here's a little bit of journaling / catch up that i wanted to document before it all slipped my mind, might not be too interesting...then again...I'm feeling rhymey.

Twas the week of Thanksgiving when all through the house, a horrible grinding disturbed the dead mouse(s). The dishwasher had died, a most long miserable death, the husband removed it with only two days left! In the big hole we found mice, long passed their due. Skeletons in nests of a yellowish hue. ON BLEACH! ON SOAP! ON HOT HOT HOT WATER! I must Clean out the kitchen from this horrible Fodder! Twas now Wednesday that the new model came. More than 6 hours installation, faulty directions to blame. Thank goodness for the Internet with the correct way to do it. A Thanksgiving miracle! That's how I view it.

This Week:

Rawlins Trip: Tuesday Morning Shane calls and says: Do you want to go to Rawlins with me to get a car? I say Sure! Rawlins doesn't seem to be too Far...So long as I sleep on the way there! And I did, making a wreck of my hair. We checked the weather before we left, Dry roads were predicted and sunshine too....but when we started home it would show that a snowy blizzard blew. All the way from Muddy Gap did we stare, at the road with the lines that were barely there. Scary by the time we got back to Lander, several inches had fallen where before there had been sun-a-pander. (okay, that's a stretch.) The next day to compensate from my prolonged house absence, I did too much bending, twisting, lifting and suffered pain and contractions!

Thursday: By now I have put myself on Bed Rest. Little did I know that Shane was having Autoplex Cop Fest! It would seem that at 1 in the morning on Tuesday, someone thought that they would pick a new 4-wheeler and head Riverton-way. Shane hadn't noticed until someone came to buy, to the camera's he went, looking to spy. Spy for the the criminal who had picked it up. We saw many instances of a person walking the lot and his 4x4 pickup truck. Anyway, Shane and the cops are now on the look-out. When found, at this snake will Shane want to Shout! At work until 8, and up and back again this morning, we hope to see him sometime soon, life with out Daddy is boring.

Nathan has gotten into the Christmas spirit, this morning he brought me candy, with Christmas Salutations did he Cheer it! "Here's some Candy Momma! Merry Christmas to You!" He's been singing jingle bells about the home, mostly he hums, but he does know the tune. Yesterday he saw that during his nap that presents had been placed under the tree, he said "look at those presents!" to himself, and he didn't notify me.

Okay that's enough rhyme. Also cute today, Nathan wanted some popcorn with his breakfast, after the eggs and muffin were gone, I obliged, since I had some on the counter. Then I got him singing "my pop-pop-pop-pop- my pop-popcorn face." It was pretty adorable.

What a great poet you are! I'm so sorry about the stolen 4 wheeler! And the broken dishwasher (I've been there - that is TERRIBLE!) and the mice!
