There is an example program that comes with pygame called "eventlist". 
This opens a window and simply logs all pygame events as they show up. 
Try doing the same operations and see how the mouse messages show up.

If it seems ok in the example then I suspect your multiple event.get 
calls. In any event, after getting all your event sorted you should call 
pygame.event.clear() to get rid of other things that may be building up 
on the queue.
