Just last week we had a MOUSE in our HOUSE!!! I had thought I heard one earlier but chalked it up to the noise the blinds make on the windows when they are open, but when I saw it run across my foot, I knew he was real and I had a problem. He ran into my sister’s room, and I shut the door and went to work; all the while dreading her return home from out of town that Monday. I bought traps, and then let him out the next day – I have a friend that put a guilt trip on me for leaving the mouse in there. (Oddly enough, I wasn’t as concerned as long as I knew he was confined to HER room, and not my own. How selfish can I be!)
After a week of scrubbing, our house was finally clean. We could now walk on our floors barefoot – mice don’t have bladders so everywhere they run....well.... they..... you get the picture. Oddly enough that mouse was a blessing to me. I had been going through some health problems and while thinking about the mouse, I wasn’t worrying at all about what I was going to do about my physical problems. God used that mouse to tell me that He isn’t finished with me yet. For God to still be preparing me to serve Him, encourages me to keep working at God’s will now.
So, Lord, thank you for that mouse, but please, oh please, let our new kitty be enough deterrent to prevent future lessons along those lines.

Sarah is right. Kill them!!! Kill them all!!! This cracked me up. I laughed till I cried. I have a house full of girls. I've seen the running and screaming many times.
By their reaction you would think lady bugs fly around with machine guns.
Thank you so much. I needed the laugh.

I'm afraid I'm one of those poor, warped souls who found myself pitying that poor mouse. I'm so glad I didn't have to hear his poor death squeaks!(and yes, I know they are filthy varmints.) Very funny story none the less, especially b/c I could picture you telling it for real. =)
I once killed a mouse as well. My lovely kitty brought me the prize early one morning. I chased the crazy mouse and finally was able to trap it with my Bible. The Word of God is powerful...!!! I brought the hammer down on it but I will NEVER forget having to do that! YUCK! I know every good gift and every perfect gift cometh from above and NOT MY CAT!!!
