Jill is taking this beautiful holiday off, so I will attempt to keep the blog up to date... JILL STYLE!!
My beautiful wife awoke this morning in a cheerful mood. Must have been the morning sex. But that's a different blog.... She decided to run to the store around 11ish this morning before we headed to my dads for the holiday and some fine family camaraderie. I was nestled in my computer chair when there came a frantic shriek from downstairs... "MIKE COME QUICK!" Damn, I was slightly alarmed at the tone of her voice as it seemed to have a quiver. I headed downstairs and met her in the kitchen where she directed me to the garage flapping her arms as if she was trying to take flight.
I followed her contrails to the rear of the garage where she landed and started running all her words together... "OHMYGODLIKEIWENTOGRABTHEFISHBAGANDTHEREWASLIKE
AMILLIONFEETSCURRINGALLOVER"
Yes, how you read that is exactly how i had to try and translate it. It took a few times of me asking her to slow down as I told her she was frothing at the mouth and I could not understand what she was saying. Finally, I got it. She heard something move and there was a lot of something.
Being that Jill has a tendency to stretch the truth a tad, I ventured deeper into the corner, moved a few things and noticed some mouse doo-doo. I waited for her to get back from the store for her to get me a mouse trap so I could get this mouse. After placing a touch of peanut butter on the trap, then fighting that damn thing to set before I lost a f$%#@#g finger, I placed the trap on the floor.
I then walked to the truck to help Jill fill the cooler with pop and ice. About 2 mins after setting this trap SNAP! HAH GOT YOU YA LIL SUCKER! I walked over picked it up, showed Jill placed into the trash and set the trap again. (Now, I said Jill stretches the truth, so I thought maybe I would get one more but not likely)
I walked away, got the the front of the truck started talking to the neighbor when SNAP! Damn, got another already. I emptied that one, and reset it. SNAP.... reset it SNAP. Gee whiz, that's 4 in 20 mins!!! I went and got 1 more trap, set it and we went to my dads.
Upon arriving home I eagerly went to the traps. Part of me was thinking there could not possibly be anymore and another part of me thinking Jill was not stretching this a bit and I am looking like a doof. I peered over the old cooler and DAMN 1 in each trap! 6!!! 6 mice in a day! And to keep this in the good faith of being Jill's blog, I have provided pictures of my hunt.
Now, upon writing this, I went to check the traps and we now have 8! Just call me the PIED PIPER!

LMAO! Love your storytelling. Great job Mr. Pied Piper. I would have freaked!
Dawn he has a story telling gift. With a lot of his own add ins, if you know what I mean.
EEEEEEK! what a lot of mice feet. I say, THANK YOU for our kitty cats and even dogs who catch mice. Of course, we wouldn't know of this great accomplishment by our pets if they didn't leave their catches on our doorsteps! WTG Mr. Pied Piper!
Julie we used to have a cat that brought us his good eats as well!
I'm just glad my truck is in the driveway not to garage.
We are up to 11 little critters.
OMG - I don't think I would have been able to even talk, I would have just screamed! I hate mice and you've caught 11 now!
Glad you had "morning sex" to have start off the day right;) Too bad the day had to be interrupted by your furry friends!
Good luck catching them =D
omg eeekkkk. Just looking at that picture gave me the willies!!!! 11?!?!?! UGH! Even morning sex wouldn't be enough to keep me there til I knew they were all one....LOL! Happy hunting! And great story telling Mike!
Amy I did scream and my neighbor was outside I think I scared him as well.
Sherri we caught 12 in all and I did stay out of the garage until we stopped catching them. I was terrible.
