Strike Three!

I apologize if you find my mouse posts redundant or mundane, but it's a big part of my life right now. My family left me and apparently someone informed the mice, so they've come out of their homes to try and "comfort" me; except, I don't want their "comfort." I upped the anny and set out 2 additional traps for a total of FOUR! "Surely, one of them will catch a mouse," I thought. Twenty-four hours pass by, 36 hours...I'm wondering if the "3am crinkle mouse" has gone into hiding..not so. I came home from work, checked the trap line...first one: BAM! sha-bang! Right on the money! Ok, not gonna lie..I screamed a little bit, because it took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to see a mouse in this trap b/c it's been there the longest and it seems as if they've moved on from this spot. But this makes the THIRD mouse in 2 weeks. Aren't you proud of me!? Again, I disposed of him/her myself and set a new one. Maybe, I need my parents to go away a little more often..to toughen me up. Perhaps that was their whole plan of leaving me here so I could bulk up and realize mice are no big deal. (EEP!) So guys, I'll try to make this the last mouse post and post about more interesting things. Thank you for letting me share my horrors, terrors, bravery, and victories with you!

Our little Mirm is growing up so much. I am proud of you and your "mouse" accomplishments! Fear (even fear of mice) is a hard thing to overcome. We must always trust God to help us through, regardless of what the fear is. Big or little, God is there. I love you Miriam. You are a blessing!

Hooray!!! I am so proud of you. I am also happy that there are now less mice in the world.

It's okay to post about your mouse ordeal. We love you and want to share in your victories (and invasions)! Just remember, your family will be home soon and so maybe the mice family will wake them up in the early mornings and leave you alone! That would be good, right!

I hope you don't have to deal with any more mice for a very long time! Sleep well tonight because your guardian angel can deal with the mice for you. (let him/her know that)

Love ya! :)

Yeah, you pretty much rock. I wouldn't touch a dead mouse if someone paid me to. Yeah, I'm a big chicken. Anyway, you go girl:)
