One down...

Well, it's been an eventful two days.

On Wednesday morning, you'll recall that a mouse came into the room and that after it popped out of the toy box I knew not where it went. Well later that night, I found out soon enough!

While preparing to go to sleep, I heard a biting sound which I thought was coming from under a chest-of-drawers. Then I saw the wood shavings which proved that to be wrong. The little mouse nuh was inna di closet, which was by now locked. Since it was locked and it couldn't squeeze under the door, it was trying to bite its way out.

Well, I was not going to have no mouse get away. So I barracaded (that look like it spell wrong) it in. All manner of things was used to block up all along the cupboard door. It went from one end, to the next. There is a light in the closet and the doors have slats so I saw one time it ran up onto one of the shelves. I even saw its tail come out of between the slats one time.

Needless to say, I had a sum total of about one hours sleep on Wednesday night. I couldn't wait for Thursday to come, because the guy who works with us is an expert rodent catcher. That was his first order of business on Thursday morning.

Sure enough, he came up with the goods. Never was I so happy to see a conked out rodent. Of course, I slept like a log last night and got up all bright eyed and bushy tailed....like the mouse's.

Now the only problem is, that was one down. How many more are there? We've set poison, so hopefully if there are more, they will eat it and die.

Hate rat and mouse. The blue poison usually works well. Happy mouse hunting!

lol...funny being held ransom like that by two mice. If any more pop up they now have device that transmits some kind of electric wave that gets rid of them and that is pretty affordable.
