We have been having a mouse problem here on the acreage and they are attracted to my van ! This is because of the fact I have 3 children who snack when we go into the city or are coming home. Thus resulting in crumbs and bits of food that fall under the seats an on the floor of the van. We caught 2 mice last week ( killed) and on Monday I discovered another one ! I discover this gross beady eyed rodent when I opened my door at Walmart to get into my van. I controlled my screams as there was people around, this beady eyed mouse was staring at me with his bulging eyes. We stared each other down for about 10 secs. Then he disappeared somewhere between my door and gas pedals. I was still horrified but had at chiro appointment at 1115 and needed to get to that appointment. Thankfully I choose to wear flats instead of flip flops that day. I shook the whole way to the chiro appointment hoping this beady eyed mouse wouldn't run over my feet. Oh I could have cried... I HATE hate mice. I can handle spiders and even snakes now but not mice. Long story short I made it to the chiro and even made it home. But now am traumatised an cautiously open my van door expecting to see a mouse staring at me. Who knew a mouse could cause PTSD... I had nightmares all night about a mouse under my blankets... poor Kevin. I was kicked and twitching all night because that little gross mouse was trying to get my feet all night long. It amazes me how this mouse can upset my dreams so badly but everything else I have going on in my life doesn't cause me nightmares ! I have always been a crazy dreamer.. and I can usually remember everything from my dreams and also the little details. Kevin on the other hand doesn't remember anything or dream that often. I wonder why some people are such vivid dreamers...
Now I know I had a depressing frustrating post yesterday.... That was my feelings built up since I can only be happy happy for so long before a gloomy depressing post :)
Ok an update on Quinn, he is still responding well to the new meds, ( like no allergic reactions), so that is good news. He did sleep better last night which is great. Apparently my begging and pleading with God for a good nights sleep paid off... He has gone almost 5 days with no big seizures so that is great. Still having small seizures on and off but at least no big seizures. We meet next week with the Dr again and also I have an appointment with a lady about the special diet if we have to go that route.
News on Brooke... Oh this child drives me bonkers.... I don't know if she is acting horribly mean because of everything that has been going on in this house. She is being so cruel to Emma an also to Quinn at times. Telling them she doesn't love them, telling them they aren't her sister or brother. Saying Emma isn't beautiful and only she is. Throwing things at them, pinching them... I am ready to send this little girl back to AB with family. I try to make sure she gets one on one time with us but even that doesn't seem to be helping.
Some news on Emma.... She is loving soccer again. She also lost another tooth last night so she has 2 bottom teeth missing now. Which she is thrilled about. There is some negative things going on with her which I will write a post about soon. Its very upsetting to me since she is only in Kindergarten and feeling so much pressure already at this young age.
Its another gloomy rainy day here an the forecast says its supposed to stay that way all week ! So I will be praying for sun and warmth :)
