I've felt pretty chirpy over the w/e
Then I faced up to the mouse party.....
I don't want a wheat bag in my house ever again
I wish J hadn't come to the bedroom to show me that pregnant mouse he found - it bit his finger and got away.
I have too much stuff and not enough storage - today I want to dance in the street and strew it all over the neighborhood and never see it again.
It has to be J's stuff though, 'cos my stuff is useful
I'm going to sleep in G's bed tonight - my room is disgusting.
If I didn't have children at home I would pack up and sleep in a Motel for the night.
And now I can't get onto the internet to whinge and complain at everyone.
The next morning: I was right, I was overtired and couldn't cope with anything. The world is a better place this morning. AND, the internet works again

This is why every house needs a cat.

1. Margie once found mice in her wheat bag in her bed! They ran over her legs and everything! Ick!
2. One of the girls in my old lab once 'lost' a pregnant rat in the heating duct in the lab. We had 5 days to find the rat before it gave birth. Luckily it was caught in time! (luckily for us, not the rat- it was the kind of 'catching' where the rat didn't survive)
3. When we lived in Oakey there wasa mouse plague and the rotten things ate holes in every single one of JB's juggling balls. Even the balls which were filled with plastic beads...
4. Methods of getting rid of mice.
4.1 Bait/poison. slow but effective. not a pleasant death for the mice. mice may die in unexpected places, but usually if they do they just sort of mummify. make sure the dog can't get the bait.
4.2 Mousetraps. I have had the most success baiting them with peanuts with a dab of caramel topping. Effective, fast death for the mice, but some people are squicked at removing the corpses. You can get ones ina box where you just throw the whole thing in the bin and don't have to see the body, but I've never tried them.
4.3 The friendly cat. He doesn't seem to have a home. You could take him home with you on Sunday?????? I can lend you a carry cage- 8 hours in a car with a complaining cat sounds ok, doesn't it?????
