Relief! Stan (Jimmy's snake) has been returned to his home. Well, a temporary home until we can repair the screen lid that the cats busted through at some point. They aren't unusually strong or smart but one of them just got lucky after jumping down onto the tank from a bookcase.


The weird thing was that I dreamt about a snake (that looked like Stan) throughout the previous night. After waking, I even made the mental note to be extra aware of snakes in the next few days and told Jimmy and Mike about the dream at breakfast.

A bit later, when I returned from the grocery store, Jimmy greeted me at the door looking very sad.

"Mom...Mom...ummm...I don't know how to tell you this.....my snake....the lid is busted (my left eyebrow goes way up at this point)....and...Stan is missing."

I was so fascinated over the dream snake connection that I didn't even freak out LOL

We searched most of Jimmy's room and found nothing but figured we'd wait for Jim so he could move the heavy stuff. When he returned from work that evening he noticed Purrsephone (cat) sitting attentively in Mike's bedroom closet, staring at the shirts. Bingo! Sure enough, Stan was safely hidden behind the fire escape ladder on the closet floor.

See...mayhem.

Anticipation mixed with dread

I've managed to create a blog - something I never really thought about before. Well, I did think about it but I never thought I get around to it and decided to not to nag myself over it.

Then, after admiring a few friends (who have managed to find the time), I decided that I was capable enough to muddle through the technology. After all, I'm on the computer constantly and have little adult conversation. This is just a more creative way to talk to myself, right LOL

I picked Mongoose Mayhem as my blog title because Mongoose is my dh's nickname for me, based on the old Kipling story, and Mayhem because it always seem to be around me as a homeschooling mom of boys HEHE

For the curious, here's the Kipling book link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rikki_Tikki_Tavi


Wish me luck on this blogging adventure...
