[…] last Friday at Tweetspeak because it was one of the most fun posts I’ve ever written (after the mouse trilogy, of course) and because I’m pretty dang proud of it. (Please forgive me if that sounds […]

Oh my land. I think we are related. It gives me the willies so bad to think about where they traipsed in the night that I’d rather stomp ’em barefooted than find mouse turdlets on the counter. Stompo-whammo-deado!

Don’t forget to saline spray everyone’s nostrils to ward off the H.virus. 😉

Wait till one runs up your pant leg whilst driving the car along the highway. That’s a hoot.

Blessings.

You had me laughing and my heart beating as if I was there the whole way through your story. The power of those little critters astounds me. The power of your words~thankfully, even more.

Oh, Kimberlee, I’m sorry but this is just plain hilarious (except that it happened to my dear friend and not a stranger-blogger). It makes me remember those days of living in New York City, flipping on the bathroom light in the middle of the night and watching a cockroach run like mad back into the wall. Jon used to say, “If you see one, there’s a hundred more where they came from.” Ew.

This.was.hilarious! And man, can I relate. We did call an exterminator in one house after seeing what we thought were mice – turned out to be Norwegian rats – small and dark and FAST. What’s really fun is if one dies in the the space between the walls. Now that’s a joy for several days running. Bleargh. So sorry – but so glad to have this giggle tonight.

When we lived in Kansas, we had mice, pack rats and oppossums trying to share living space with us in our trailer in the country.

When we moved to a farm in North Dakota, I was thrilled to be battling only mice.

When we moved to the PNW, I was even more relieved to discover no mice. After a few months, I realized there were rats who lives under my hot tub and in my woodpile.

I know very well that shivery feeling when you see a flash of fur and a tail! EEEEWWWW!

If your cats are falling down on the job, let me suggest an owl. I hear they make great pets but are like eternal babies and you don’t need a 5th one of those!

Bravo for the ROUSs reference. Please know that I was totally enthralled in your blog posting and almost screamed out loud when my dog came in the room and sniffed me! Thankfully I realized mice aren’t that tall and they’re not contagious. I think. May you have no reason to admonish your tardy cats or make use of your wok lid in the future!

I am with Cathee and Glyn as well. I know you were totally having the heebee-geebees, but I was laughing at your recounting of the episodes. You have read The Princess Bride, haven’t you? I love the movie, but the back stories are so rich. May there be only real shoelaces and no more nests.
