Josh and I had our first visitor. He showed up on Saturday and is having so much fun that he is having a hard time leaving!
The truth is, I really want him gone. I hate him! He drives me crazy! He poops in our kitchen drawers and on the floor! Ugh! I really wish I could communicate with him about my intent to kill him, but that's just life. It will have to just be a surprise!
Oh yea, our visitor is a mouse!
He's been leaving me little "treats" since Saturday and Sunday night I actually saw him. I screamed and ran into the bedroom to wake Josh up. Dumb idea. What was I expecting him to do? Catch it with his bare hands?
So, on Monday I went to the store and bought 4 "No See" mouse traps and a bunch of poison. We laid them out throughout the kitchen and the living room (the only places I have seen poops). I've also taken all the pots and pans out of the drawers and put them on the couch. I don't want his dirty paws all over my nice clean dishes!
What now? We wait, right?
Well, it's been a few days and the mouse is still leaving poops around. Maybe he is just taunting me. Maybe he knows what the traps are and what the poison looks like. I was really hoping it wouldn't take this long. He's gotta either die or leave soon right? As far as I can tell he can't reach the food (I keep it in the high cupboards) and none of it has been tampered with. I'm also a really clean person so I make sure the floor is swept and the table and counters are wiped down before I go to bed. What is keeping him here? What is he eating?!
Ahh! I just want him gone and if he brings any friends over I'm gonna call an exterminator!!

Stupid mice! We had one that drove me BONKERS!!!! He heard him night after night in our walls, then he found our pantry & left lots of poop & chewed through at least $20 worth of food, then he chewed a hole in our bathroom wall. Talk about taunting! We finally caught him because of the little hole. As he was climbing out, the trap caught him. I bought 3 different traps, but caught him with a Tomcat Mouse Trap (with a large plastic pad). Good luck with your mouse.
