Living in the country...

can be great. That being said, when your house is in the middle of a field that has just been harvested you get some unexpected & unwanted visitors. We are being invaded!!!! Mice seem to be everywhere! Here is the tally for dead mice in our house...cat-1, humans-2. It seems that we are much more effective at getting rid of our "friends" than our feline. We found one in front of the aquarium one morning, another one was creeping along the love seat while Bobby was sitting in front of it and was unknowing sat on and squished enough to daze it so that Bobby could use his trusty mini Louisville slugger to finish him off and the other sneaked up under the kitchen rug and again was unknowingly stepped on...it was a very lovely sight. Bobby is very effective at getting mice with sticks...we have found him to be much more effective than traps! And his mini Louisville slugger is his weapon of choice. This is not an unusual problem for us this time of year...it is just very irritating...especially when you go to but your baby down for a nap and see mouse droppings in her crib. Gross!
Needless to say, Bobby went this afternoon and bought traps and steel wool to stuff in any holes around the house.

Oh, Penny. IN the crib??? YIKES! Sometimes parenting is just dealing with things you would rather not deal with, isn't it!!

(I've got a cat puke story that can make you feel better if you need to hear it. :) )
