Heather's Version of the Sam Story

I love irony and the fact that I have been extremely jumpy the last couple of weeks coupled with the fact that I could not sleep/ did not sleep last night, makes having a mouse in my house totally awesome. So back to the beginning, tonight I could not get myself to fall to sleep even though I hardly slept last night. Lucky for me Lyndsey was having the same problem. So what do you do when you cant sleep... well I lay there listening to sounds until I can finally convince myself that it is time for me to go to bed. You know that point when you finally get to the place where you know you are about to sleep.. well that is where I heard this funny noise coming from my window. Well being jumpy like I have been lately, I jumped out of my bed flipped on the light and investigated my window. After coming to the conclusion it was nothing I turned on my bed side light flipped off the over head light and went back to trying to force sleep upon myself. Well I finally made it back to that wonderful place where you feel yourself falling...... and damn it all to hell there was that noise again. I opened my eyes and looked up at the celling and there sitting on the top of my valence looking down at me was a mouse. Now like I said before I have been jumpy all week... so what did i do i jump up on my bed jumped over to my pull up bar swung out into the hall way ran to Lyndsey door and made her come make sure I was not seeing things. Well being a good sport she followed me the two steps to my room and looked in.... Nothing. I knew there had to be something there so I started banging on my curtains. All of the sudden a mouse fell of the top and landed in between my bed and the wall well i was off again swinging into the hall where i hide behind Lyndsey who was holding on of my pink cowboy boots in defense. We grabbed our flash lights and started looking all over my room from the safety of the door frame. Believe it or not that stupid mouse came at me and i took off like a jack rabbit down the hallway. Lyndsey was so busy laughing at the sight she did not even see the mouse. I sheepishly walked back to the door frame realizing that i was lucky that i had decided to wear shorts to bed but i was wishing i had a shirt because the creepy crawlies had just started to set in. Well like the brave little soldiers we are we sat in the door way for thirty minutes waiting for that mouse to attack she Lyndsey could hit him with a boot and i could hit him with a tri-pod. We had a couple of near misses then i decided to cowgirl up get some boots on and walk in there jump on my bed and scare him out of his hiding. I tried for at least one minute then my nerves got the best of me and i swung out of the bedroom again. And we unanimously decided to close the door and lock the mouse in my room with a towel under the door. Well we locked him in there and sat door and did some deep breathing trying to calm ourselves when all of the sudden we heard that mouse scratching at the door. Well that was it I decided we were going to watch a sappy movie and i was going to sleep on the couch.
