Vermin and Viruses

The mice are back; I'm thinking of getting cats, even without the guarantee that they'd chase the mice. I think the rats are back too.

Well, rats, I think. Heee.

We're still snotty. Last night, spouse man said, "So, we're just going to be sick until February, right?" I'm going to get a gallon of that anti-bacterial stuff and dip the kids in it every 10 minutes or so. I know all about the perils of antibacterial stuff, thanks. I'm just tired of being sick in the "I have little children" way.

So Alisha over at her blog is having a contest guessing pumpkin seeds. If you like little Christmas ornaments, make a guess.

Obligatory knitting? I'm into the second ball on the back of the cardigan and wondering if I have enough yarn. Instead of figuring, I'm going to adventure on and find out.

I hope the snot goes away soon. I hate sinus problems. Dip away with the antibacterial stuff, I say!

I love the Great Is That Enough Yarn? Adventure. Always a good time...

I always thought that if the kids were home with me, we wouldn't be sick as often, I guess your story blows my theory out of the water! Sorry to hear of the snotty life you're leading right now. Spray them all down, I say, maybe it will help get rid of the rodents, too! :0)

Ugh. I hope you all feel better soon. I, for one, am quite amused by the imagary of kids being dipped in vats of antibacterial goodness.

Sorry your not well. Thanks for the shout out for the contest.

My gran has so many issues with mice. I do find having a cat helps and my dog mouses too. I would rather mice then ants though...or cockroaches....eeewwww

Live dangerously, Stef- I did with my lastest tote bag & ended up with exactly 23 inchs of yarn left to stitch on the pocket- hoorah!
Great image of sheep-dipping the kids in virus killer- hopes it works ;p

Adventure sounds good. As does the anti-bac sheep dip plan for the kids!

Even the smell of a pet in the house usually keeps mice away. Go on get a kitten! And a puppy!

Share the love....and the snot. Families are great, huh?

I say get a whole litter of kitties...the more the merrier.
