Dead Mouse

Kelsey has been sick the past few nights meaning she wakes up about every 50 min or so to cough or cry. Sad but not the point. The other night at 4:30 she woke up again and this was the 8th time that I had to try to snot out her nose. (I promise this is relevant) Anyway, I was super tired and not really with it. I pulled her out of her bed, blew her nose, calmed her down and went to go put her back in her bed and what did I find.. A DEAD MOUSE!!! I could have bet my life that a dead mouse was in the middle of my daughters crib. Like any rational tired mom, I started crying and woke up Ethan. He grabbed a bowl, covered the mouse, tied Kelsey's sheets around the bowl and took it out to the trash. While he was doing that, I was looking everywhere for the family of mice because mice never come alone. I couldn't find anything so I put Kelsey in our bed and we all went back to sleep (well kinda). In the morning, I noticed that Kelsey was missing one of the dark purple socks that she went to bed with Ethan went out to the trash, pulled out our bowl untied the sheets and some how during the night, the dead mouse turned into Kesley's purple sock!  I really hate mice, but if all mice are magic mice I might reconsider.

Ethan and I had a pretty good laugh over this one! All you tired moms understand :)
