House Guest... Day of Departure!

Sometimes when we have house guests, the day they leave is a sad one. We wish they could stay just a little bit longer. Sometimes we even feel this way with guests who invite themselves. Well... this is not the case with this little guy! I am excited to say he left this morning with DH... wrapped in a paper towel!

We thought we heard the trap last night while we were in the living room, but no luck there. No... it wasn't until we were in bed, the lights were out in the rest of the house, and DH's contacts were out that we heard the trap for sure... ok... DH heard it. I was just going on what he said. So... with DH being quite blind without help... and having no glasses (perhaps we should get some of those before I go into labor this time), the mouse had to wait till this morning! :(

Regardless... after everything... and especially after having to completely clean again yesterday, I'm glad he's gone!

Now I can disinfect everything one last time and get back to normal. DH says we'll put the traps out tonight one more time... just in case he had friends. Hopefully he was a loner!

  1. Okay so I know your pregnant and don't need any more stress...but I would check to see if the visitor has been in any of the cupboards. When we first moved into the house we had a visitor because it had been vacant and I found presents left inside some of the dishes. Needless to say even after we evicted the visitor we still washed all the dishes before using them for a while. It gives me the willies just thinking about it.

  2. Thanks for the tip... I've been watching the cupboards and haven't seen any "evidence" in there. I did however find some in the corner of the kitchen... so now that DS is down for his nap (and as soon as I can muster the energy) I'm going to tackle clearing out that corner and leaning it really well. We'll call it phase one of the deep floor cleaning. :) I may not get to phase 2 until tomorrow.
