Wednesday morning around 5:30am I’m in the kitchen making my sandwich for work when out of the corner of my eye, what do I see??? A mouse running across the floor to the dishwasher
(no not the wife.Ha-ha.) the dishwashing machine. It then squeezed into the crack between the washer and cabinet. This is not your regular mouse, this mouse and I have a history.
Let me explain…about a month ago, my son came running into our bedroom telling my wife and I that he saw a mouse in the kitchen. Later that day it was confirmed by the wife. So, off to Wal-Mart I went to buy some mouse traps. I returned, baited them with peanut butter and set four traps
Let me explain…about a month ago, my son came running into our bedroom telling my wife and I that he saw a mouse in the kitchen. Later that day it was confirmed by the wife. So, off to Wal-Mart I went to buy some mouse traps. I returned, baited them with peanut butter and set four traps
around the kitchen. Woke up the next morning and found two traps sprung…
but no mouse…hmm. So I set them again, only to wake up to one trap sprung but this time the sprung trap had been moved all the way across the room. Hmmmm. So I set them again but left that day for an over night fishing trip, I left the girls in charge. When I got home around noon, I find one of the traps missing…so I assumed I got him and the girls dumped the mouse and trap somewhere, so I went and took a shower. When I got out of the shower, I was informed that the trap had caught the foot of the mouse and it had dragged the trap under the kitchen table. So I went and had a look…sure enough there he was sitting on the trap with his foot stuck. So being the kind man that I am(THE MOUSE KIND OF REMINDED ME OF MICKYMOUSE)
I took a broom and swept the live mouse and trap out the back door, letting the little mouse live to see another day.
This is where I made my mistake…I kind of felt like the godfather “don’t take this kindness as a sign of weakness little mouse”.
AND HE DID!!! THE LITTLE MONSTER!!!

So I feel like I have a few options when I get home this after noon
(1) Learn to live with the mouse (yea right that not going to happen)
(1) Learn to live with the mouse (yea right that not going to happen)
(2) Go Rambo on it (hmmm sounds good but might make a big mess in the kitchen)
(3) Set the traps again (and hope for this result)
(4) Bring our cat, Lucky, in for the night (Na…I watched to many Tom & Jerry cartoons, that never works)
I think I’m going with (3) wish me luck!!
I'll keep everyone up to date with my progress.
