Last night when Hubby got off work, he suggested that we take the sub over to the car wash and use the power washer to see if we could flush the mouse out. As we were driving, I kept feeling something like a mouse tail brush across my leg. Since I was driving, I thought we were going to get in a wreck. I had to put my feet up on the seat. This sort of stressed Hubby out a little bit. I suggested that maybe we should just buy a new vehicle. He thought I was acting rediculous. I wasn't! I was dead serious! I told him I also thought we should start looking at buying a new home, or at least a new garage. He suggested that it would be cheaper to buy some mouse traps. I consented to let him try his plan but if I find any more live mice, I'm taking matters into my own hands. This morning we woke to the traps full! I am not going anywhere today because I cannot go out into my garage with those dead things still out there. Of course, removing them is Hubby's "job" because he is so much braver than I am!
Also, I just got the strangest phone call from my insurance agent. He said he was worried about me and the kids and wanted to make sure we were okay and did I need anything from him. I thought this was a little forward considering I'm not really used to recieving phone calls of concern from other men other than my father. After I reassured him that we were fine and honestly didn't need anything from him, he asked how my house was and if there was anything I needed to report to him. I was thinking, "Perfect, I bet they have a policy about mice and how did he know I needed a new house." They don't, but apparently we had an earthquake this morning and there are homes and other structures around here that are damaged. I never felt a thing. Bummer! (My insurance agent now thinks I'm a nut job though! Oh well!)
It's only 10 o'clock! This day is off to a great start! Thank goodness it's Thursday!

Glad to hear your house is okay and all of you in it. But LOL about the 'maybe he heard we have a problem with mice' thing!!
I didn't know that was an insurance concern, but I'll have to keep that in mind!! (Hopefully, we won't need it - ha, ha!)
You're awesome! :D
Two words--Garage cat! We have mice where I work, so we have to keep food picked up and constantly get after the students not to leave any food crumbs around. I would only store food in cans and bottles in the garage--no cardboard boxes. Or put everything in tightly covered heavy plastic containers. Also, you need to get rid of any food crumbs on the shelves and also in your car. If there is no food to be found, they should go away--hopefully to the neighbors!!
By the way, are there no pictures of you driving with your feet up on the seat? That's okay, just the thought of it is funny enough!
Hello, Laurie! Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your blog and will come back often. You have a beautiful family!
The mouse in the car thing really creeps me out. I'm with you- just get a new car.
Good luck getting rid of the pest!
We had a mouse when I was expecting my first. Hubby was so worried that it would hurt the baby that he took care of everything by himself...even washing the towels where he had made his home. Those towls quickly got bleached and became the cleaning towels!
Good luck with them!
That earthquake thing was crazy this morning. I had friends in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah who felt it. Kinda scary! Glad you all were safe.
Man in Texas we had waterbugs (roaches, Texans think it sounds better to say waterbugs or something) I hated to go out in the garage. When I would turn the light on they would scatter. It FREAKED me out.
That's so funny that you thought he heard about your mouse problem and he was really calling about an earthquake you didn't even feel! Did I not call it about there being so many mice? That's probably not a nice thing to say to you. Sorry. I hate mice. They're kind of cute in a cage, but NOT in a garage or car. YUCK!
ewww mice in the sub! I would be refusing to drive ANYWHERE! until it was mouse free! :)Here's hoping ya get rid of the creepy crawly long tailed four footed creatures!
So funny about the insurance guy! Glad that you didn't even feel the quake.
That sure was nice of him to call.
Sounds like you have a great insurance agent! Those are rare, so hold on to him!
Hello! Thanks for your kind comment on my blog. I know I've seen your comments around too! About time we met! =) Feel free to stop by anytime.
I bet those insurance agents hear some pretty crazy stories!
I hate rodents. They're probably looking for shelter from the cold.
I figured I'd left earthquakes behind in California, when we moved. We didn't feel it here though.
Nice insurance agent though!
Mice . . . earthquakes
Both natural disasters in my mind :)
We had 2 mice during my last pregnancy and our cat would corner them but not catch them. I had to catch them (yes, 9 months pregnant) and take them out for the dog to kill them. That useless cat is since gone and luckily we haven't had any more mice.
Good luck - I feel for you!
