Happy's log: Mommy is buggin' out

He's thick, black, and hops about 4 feet high.  And he chirps SO freakin loud. Never seen a cricket this huge.  He's disgusting and I have about 3 a night. UGH!

 

Its 1:45 a.m. and Mommy is trippin!  Several nights over the last two weeks, Mommy and I keep waking up to a visitor in her bed, my crib, or somewhere else in the apartment.  Just now, mommy woke up when I popped my head up over my crib... I think she's hearing the same thing I am.  She started pulling clothes from the shelf and food from the kitchen pantry shelves, looking for Mr. Cricket.  She's saying not-nice words and cursing my home country.  Its a good thing I only understand English better than I can speak it.  

Mr. Cricket has stopped singing and I think its actually making Mommy more mad because she keeps calling him and he stopped answering.  When he does come out to play/sing, I wonder if he'll hop into my bed again.  Sometimes I hear him hitting the underneath of my crib and mommy's bed but he doesn't always make it in.  He hops on the door and the rhythm sound is kinda' cool.  But sssshhhhh! Don't tell Mommy.  I don't think she likes his beat!  I don't mind his singing, but sometimes it gets too loud and wakes me up.  It wakes Mommy up too and I think she doesn't like it.  I heard her say to Pendo that Mr. Cricket from yesterday was 2 inches big... but I don't know what that means?  I only know metric.  I think that's bigger than my hand and longer than Mommy's pointy finger.  Kinda' cool, huh?  This afternoon, I got to hit Mr. Cricket with Mommy's shoe after she had been pounding on him because he wouldn't "go to sleep".  He's so thick!  I guess he needed a good pat on the back to settle down! He's more fun than those annoying ants.  But the ants in Mommy's pants this weekend made me laugh because she was hopping around like a crazy woman.  But besides that, those ants are just annoying.  Ok, I"m gonna' try and go back to sleep.  Its 2:00 now and Mr. Cricket has stopped singing and Mommy is now on her computer. I'm sure I'll hear Mr. Cricket in a little while. I wonder if Mommy will start cursing again??
