Friday Five:Sleep

1. How many hours of sleep do you like to get in a night?
Five or six
2. How many hours of sleep can you survive on indefinitely?
Four or Five
3. Do you enjoy napping?
Oh my goodness yes!
4. The average amount of time it takes a person to fall asleep is seven minutes--do you tend to need more or less time than that?
About the same most of the time
5. If you were offered a pill that would enable you to sleep only two hours out of every twenty-four and remain fully functional, but you could never sleep more than that, would you take it?
Hell no, I love sleeping and napping way too much :)
 

Wordless Wednesay (has some words)

I am an animal lover and can't resist any sort of animal at all, especially if they are in danger. *sigh* poor Hunky Hubby. Bitsy has inherited this trait from me in addition, she is the animal whisperer, I firmly believe she could tame the entire animal kingdom with just the sound of her voice and some treats.

So, that all being said, earlier this week, some mice showed up in our office (a regular occurrence, we are by open fields, it's been very cold outside as of late, and all of us are kind of slobs-good eating for mice lol)

Meet Cheezers and Trixie. They needed a home that wasn't, you know, my desk. It was too cold to put them back outside soooooo I took them home because what house isn't complete without mice. For those keeping track at home that's three cats (though one is completely outside now, little furry jerk) a dog and now two mice. And two children. And an HH to boot.

Bitsy fell instantly in love. She cleaned their bowl and fed them appropriate food and then disaster struck. Yesterday while at work, I received this message from her:

Then I received THIS message from her:

Daddy got her calmed down enough that she went to play with the other mouse for a while...and then I got THIS message:

Suffice to say, Bits was having a horrible day. Daddy saved the day by sending Bitsy and Momma out for Chinese for dinner but Bits was still upset by the whole thing. Won't she be surprised tomorrow when she wakes up to see this??

Big thank yous go out to Bam the cat, Betsy the dog, and hh the super daddy for catching mr/miss mouse and putting him where he belongs....

New Year's Resolutions....

Quite simply, more of this sort of stuff....and less unnecessary expenditures of energy, whether they be on people, things, situations, what have you. 2014 is the year of happy for the Wit clan :)

Wordless Wednesday: Snow snow snow

Sunday Funday

A yes, a nice lazy Sunday. Just what the doctor ordered (side note, I am now calling myself "the doctor") Hh worked an 80 week this week and is sleeping late and looking forward to the prospect of going to see the Blackhawks play tonight AND coming home and going to bed while it's DARK out since he has tonight off (which means this coming week will only be a 72 hour week instead of 80 ha!) Bitsy and Gabe are both baking with Grandma Dyan today; it's time for her annual cookie baking marathon. Bitsy took her camera so I'm sure there will be plenty of pictures to share...and me? I'm going to do NOTHING today. I am going keep my pajamas on and crochet and maybe take a nap.

It's snowing quite nicely outside, the ground is starting to look more white than green, and the dog is begging to go outside. Silly thing can't stand rain but will stay outside for an hour if you let her when it snows.

Have a wonderful Sunday no matter WHAT you do today :)

Thankful Thursday: Friends

Tonight as I text and sit on facebook (gosh I'm exciting) I am reminded of how lucky we are to have such fantastic friends. Friends who are here for us when we're happy, sad, celebrating, moaning and complaining, just in general pretty fabulous people. Not sure how we got so lucky but here we are :) I
