A Stressful Story

As we turned off the lights to go to bed a rather large spider raced across the floor. Dalan tried to get it, but it was dark and the little, but scary guy was fast. I knew that I would find that spider again in the morning when Dalan was in Idaho & too far away to come home & smoosh it. I took a deep breath & tried to forget about it as I drifted off into my dreams. The next morning I had basically forgot about the spider. Little did I know I had much bigger problems up ahead. As I worked on some more craft projects (more about those later!) I came face to face . . . ok fine. I came toes to nose with a mouse! Ah! it was everything a mouse is supposed to be, creepy & small & with beady little eyes except for instead of scampering in the fields it was in my house! I tried to make it escape out the back door, but it was all in vain as it ran behind the washer & dryer. Now there are traps galore & I wear my snow boots to do laundry. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves that you could share? I am going crazy. I am very hopeful that the little rodent came through the door & not through a wall . . . .
