FREAKING OUT!

Because I just walked into the kitchen and this scampered across the counter:




And disappeared up into the panel on the stove where the knobs are.

OMG.  I hate rodents so so much!  I may never eat in our kitchen again.  This is good for the Weight Watchers program as Katie pointed out.  But I'm still freaked out.

Have a call into a pest control place to come out and inspect.  Until then, I may be at a hotel...

I would be there with you! Looks like time for a cat - or make Lucy catch mice!

we've got "no see-no touch" traps out now.

this has been the year of horrifying animals in the house apparently. ugh.

So the girls are teasing me unmercifully about my absolute terror. I KNOW IT CAN'T EAT ME. I KNOW IT CAN ONLY (ONLY!) JUMP AS HIGH AS MY KNEE.

It's not a RATIONAL FEAR, girls. It's completely irrational. But it's not going to change just bc I know the mouse is tiny. I'm still horrified.

And Lulu is USELESS. Even more useless than I am in this situation.

get a regular old mouse trap, put some peanut butter on it. Be sure NOT to have your finger on the "catching end" when you set the spring. You WILL get your mice (sorry, where there is one there are more). Mice love the cabin, so far I think we have solved the problem, but I am good at the traps.

Zaide, you must be INSANE. There is no f-ing way I want to deal with taking mangled mice out of traps. I plan to invite the pest control guys to move in until all mice are eradicated.

no, no, no I don't remove the mice just toss the whole dead mouse and trap in the garbage. The traps are cheap, buy new. YOU can do it!!

Laurie said...

No. I. CAN'T.
