Apparently, I enjoyed the heck out of the Christmas season. I gained 2.4 lbs in the last three weeks. The truth is, I almost didn't go today, but my pal Chris said "Come on, we gotta do it!" So I went and I guess that is good....
Mike is gone to Utah until the 16th and I leave for Arizona on the 17th. Life will be interesting this week when I am trying to save money and watch what I eat very carefully and my chef is in Utah!! The good news is that while I am visiting my mother-in-law, I will probably wither away. She and her husband barely eat anything and are in terrific shape.
Middlest is planning her 11th birthday party. I will be taking 4 girls to a hotel with a really awesome water park. I will sleep in a cot and give the 4 girls the 2 queen beds. Aren't I nice? Hopefully, they will let me sleep in the room and not the bathroom. haha
My bestie is taking a course in Feb. on Dave Ramsey's money tips, etc. She will give Kelly and I the lessons the following evenings. We will all be rich soon, I hope. Brandi will be. She has an incredible sticktoitness about her. She lost over 8 pounds since December 18th. What a brat!!!

A Mouse in the House--EEK!
About 2 weeks ago, Middlest was playing in the basement with Littlest and Jena's girl. I heard a terrified scream and then some stumbling up the stairs. Apparently, Middlest saw a mouse running along the top of the couch and she shouted to her sister and Jena's girl that there was a mouse on the couch. We were shocked when Littlest and Jena's girl never came upstairs. I am so far beyond afraid of mice, that I was already packing our stuff for the hotel. Mike went down there and discovered the girls standing on the couch. They thought Middlest said get on the couch!
So we went to Wal-Mart and bought 12 glue traps and put them all around the basement. We never did catch anything, but Oldest said that there was a smell. I finally began sleeping again when the smell appeared. (After one night in the hotel, we had to come home.)
Middlest decided that her room in the basement was no longer desirable, so she has moved upstairs to the office. My computer is now in the basement, which is why I haven't blogged.
So, on Halloween night Oldest and her boyfriend were in the basement watching scarry movies and Paige noticed that there was a horrible smell. She looked up and there was that mouse--dead and hanging on the back of the couch.
Well, of course, I think we need to buy a new couch........
