Don’t worry, I will not spend the rest of my blogging days writing about cruel and unusual ways to kill varmints. But, I do have to tell you about our little wake up call at midnight last night.
I woke up to the sound of movement on my night stand that is right beside my bed. I mean so close, practically my eye lashes can touch it. Now you must know that I keep my glasses on that night stand, and I am blind without them on. I wasn’t about to reach over and blindly feel around for my glasses, only to get my finger attacked by a rabid mouse. So, I did what I always do when I am freaking out, wake Marty up. I whispered his name in a tone that he knows all too well, and I am sure loathes that tone, because he’s heard all too much within our 5 years of marriage during the wee hours of the night. He went on to tell me that I am hearing things, and he flipped on the light. No mouse, but I did hear our scale make this very familiar noise that it makes when it is stepped on. I shrugged it off, went to the bathroom, and hopped back in bed and started agonizing over the fact that I knew that there was a mouse inches away from my face, and now I have to close my eyes and sleep. Sleep! Impossible! My thoughts were interrupted by banging around in our linen closet where we had a sticky trap beside our scale.
At this point, Marty is up, golf club in hand. I’m standing on the bed, and he throws me a towel to throw at it if it runs out of the closet carrying a sticky trap. I wailed, “No, no, I can’t do it.” Okay, a little exaggerated, but that’s how I felt inside. Luckily, it didn’t run, and Marty took care of it.
I could then sleep knowing that this was the mouse that was steps away from jumping into my mouth. No DNA test needed, this was the one. There still may be more spying at me from the corners of our walls, and under our furniture. But, I will not be defeated, as long as I have my golf club and husband.
The picture at the top was intended to lure you into this post. Didn’t think that a picture of a dead mouse would do the trick, so I used my beautiful baby. If you have gotten this far, then my ploy was a success.
hahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! Omgdness… that just made me giggle so!!!!! Thanks! And I hope this is the end of your sleepless, mouse-filled nights!
(although I doubt it!)
