face book woes/wows

I just joined facebook only because Jacob our oldest boy started facebook. I thought to myself, I better get on so I can keep an eye on him and be able to check out his facebook wall(is it called wall?) and just to be a good mom. Isn't this was good mom's do? You know snoop in their kids lives. Well he was on for two weeks and was doing preaty well reconecting with family in the west that he doesn't know very well and chatting with friends he knows back here in Pennsylvania. I opened my account on Monday and low and behold Who knew I was this popular in highschool, because I have become inundated with people wanting to be my friend. I hope people don't think I'm a snob but I really didn't want to get too involved with something that would take more of my time. I am a busy enough woman, with everything that I do. I would also like to follow the prophets council and to only do things that value and meaning to my life. This has created a wierd reaction in Jacob. He is jealous of all the people trying to be my friend. Who Knew? I guess it's a status thing with his friends as to how many "friends" he has on facebook. Well we will see how long this lasts for me. Who knew I was sooo popular.Jealous?

Mouse in the house v.s. our fat cat

The first thing my mom yelled is there's a mouse in the house. Everyone jumped up and ran into the kitchen. Everyone yelled, as a gray small field mouse ran across our tile floor. For my mom this was a first! She has never had a mouse in her house before! We chased it under the fridge and then the stove. After both were pulled out we couldn't find it. Apparently it was behind the dishwasher. We couldn't move that. Mom decided to clean behind the stove while it was out, and just when she was almost done out pops Jerry. (tom and Jerry) Ha Ha! Not as cute in real life. When we took our cat to the scene, she just looked at it and didn't do much to kill it! We could tell our cat was just too fat and lazy, and a true princess, to do anything about it.As my mom said "eee!, eee! C'mon cat! Earn your Keep!" Eventually mom took a mop and pounded the little mouse till its nervous system was completly destroyed. John then finished the job by crushing it with dad's shoe. I then picked it up and threw it outside. The cat THEN went outside and ate it.

Happenings

Lots of things have happened since I last wrote. We as a family went to Philidelphia. We decided to go due to the fact that my job as the janitor for our church(the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) is being discontinued. Subsequently I had a meeting in a town called Broomall, which is outside of Philidelphia. Well to make a long story short we stayed the night after the meeting, and spent the following day in Phili. It was so fun. We got to see the Liberty Bell, which is much smaller than you would expect, and got to visit the continental congress. It was neat to see where our country first was started. Our family is into history and it was fun for us to contemplate what our for-fathers went through in order for the United States to become what it is today. I wonder how many of them would roll over in their graves with shock at how far away from the constitution many laws in this nation have become. We met a lot of people, not all of them old people. Which is what we thought we would see. It seemed like everyone there felt the same way we do about the constitution and our freedom. We are proud to be Americans. We had Phili cheese steaks, yum, yum (I think Dolly Subs were better). We had fun as a family and it was nice to get away and think of us and only us.
