EEEEK!
I came into the family room this afternoon and a movement caught my eye in the sunroom. There was a mouse just sauntering across the hardwood floor ready to cross into the family room. I chased it back into the sunroom where it just stopped and stared at me. So I ran into the kitchen and got a big bowl to cover it and make it my captive until Tristan gets home to take care of it. I chased it into the corner where it made little squeaking noises and reversed directions towards me. Then I started screaming, and it started squealing. I screamed and chased it around the sunroom and just before it ran under the chair I slammed the bowl down over the top of it. The bowl was half on the rug and half off and I was afraid it would get out. So I slid the bowl over onto the hardwood floor. When I did, the tail came out and the mouse squealed again. I screamed again and ran and got some books. Right now the mouse is under the bowl with books on top of the bowl. At least I hope it is still under the bowl. But trust me, I am NOT going to lift it up to make sure.
It is a fat little mouse and it stared me in the eye and squealed. I think it was moving slower than normal because maybe it is a mama mouse ready to have a bunch of babies. I am feeling a little guilty because of the eye contact, but I can't wait for Tristan to get home and get rid of it!

ReplyDeleteha ha ha ha ha oh thanks for sharing this story. I so started laughing hard just picturing it squealing and you screaming..OH THE MADNESS!! ha ha ha. Just like me though one time when I had somewhat caught a mouse I had left it where it was so that Paul come home and dispose of it. Smart woman you are.
ReplyDeleteAt least you didnt chase after it spraying it with brake part cleaner and trying to hit it with a harm like one of the guys at my shop did. :)
ReplyDeleteJust the picture of the mouse makes me want to scream EWWW!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you caught it! She must be ready to give birth! They are fast little things. I hear the mice are out more this year than ever. I hope that wasn't a photo you took yourself! If so, I'm proud of you! Why do those little tiny mice make us scream? I have some stories myself. Cindy
