Ew, Deb, I hope you get this taken care of quickly. I've never had a problem with them, so I don't have any advice.my3princes said:I'm kinda freakin out here. I think I hear mice in my bedroom walls. This isn't the first time, but I had dismissed it as the wind blowing something outside. Today I heard a lot of noise and looked outside to see no wind. Chris will be setting traps in the attic, garage, basement and camper. I may have one or two in my bedroom too. I HATE MICE. We have only had them once since we built, but it has been a bad year for them around here and all the neighbors have had them. My parents put thir camper down here for the winter and my Mom went in her's the other day and found a dead one floating in the antifreeze in the toilet![]()
Now that I've vented I'll go back to getting something done.

dumby said:Okay this morning it is around 18-20 degrees. DS18 told me his heater in his car does not work.
My dryer want dry my clothes and don't have money to fix it right now.
I am behind in my work. BUT I HAVE WORK and that is a good thing.
We don't have the money to buy a christmas tree and the one we had broke.
It sure is a funny thing this MONEY business kind of like men You can't live with it and you can't live without it.![]()
and the biggest thing:
DS6 who we have custody of asked me who his real dad is. When he was 4 months old his dad, my brother, was killed in a car accident. I started babysitting him while his mom worked afer that. Finally things in her life got so out of hand (men, drugs, etc) that I asked her for custody and she let me have him. She comes to see him about every 2-6 weeks. Never a set time just whenever she remembers she has a child. What gets me is he ADORES her.
Well he has been saying things lately about me not being his real mom. (He calls me mom and his real mom by her first name.) We have both explained to him that she had some things going on in her life and it was best for him to live with me and he seemed okay with that. BUT now he wants to know who his real dad it.
We did not intentionally not tell him about my brother but he started calling DH dad and we just never really knew how to deal with it so we thought when he got old enough we would sit him down and explain it. By old enough I was thinking in his teens. NOT.
He asked me on the way to school if his real moms latest man friend was his real dad since she was his real mom. SO TONIGHT we will have a talk with him. I sure hope he can understand this and deal with it okay. My heart just breaks for him because his real mom, although she loves him, she does not want the responsibility and it is already hurting him that she gave him away.
If you all have any advise on how to handle this just post away.
Well that is my update. Hope everyone has a great week.

tinknme said:Thank you Glynis, this sounds delicious! Silly question, do you put syrup on this?
I have to work Christmas, so this would be perfect to make. Then I can have a nice breakfast with my family before leaving.

You can use syrup with it, however, it kind of makes it's own syrup. I dust it with powdered sugar before cutting into it, and then have syrup on the table for those who want it. It's yummy!

Toffee Apple French Toast
8 C. cubed French bread
2 medium tart apples, peeled and chopped
1 pkg. (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
3/4 C. packed brown sugar
1/4 C. sugar
1 3/4 C. milk, divided
2 tsp. vanilla, divided
1/2 C. English toffee bits
5 eggs
Place half the bread cubes in a greased 13 X 9 baking dish; top with apples. In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese, sugars, 1/4 C. milk and 1 tsp. vanilla until smooth; stir in toffee bits. Spread over apples. Top with remaining bread cubes. In another mixing bowl, beat the eggs and remaining milk and vanilla; pour over bread. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from refrigerator 30 minutes before baking. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
This is so delicious! Enjoy it!
