A MOUSE!!!

WARNING: if you don't want to hear about the death of a mouse do not continue reading!

Just writing this post gives me the willies! Last night as we were watching The Bachelor, Derek jumped off the couch and started chasing something.....a MOUSE!!! AHHAHHHAHAHAHAH! The thought or sight of any rodent just totally creeps me out. I seriously thought I was going to have a panic attack! So Derek, the man that he is, was determined to catch the thing. He saw it go by the computer so he coerced it out of there and it ran over him (EWWW) and behind our bookshelf so we trapped it in there and coerced it out of there and it ran into the playroom. AHHHHHHHH! He shut the door in there and after a minute or so I hear a "GOT IT". I was so FREAKED OUT! He opens the door and tells me to get some pliers to pick it up but I didn't know where pliers were so I grabbed some homemade tongs (we use to get our toast out of the toaster) but they were'nt strong enough so he threw those out and I got one of those big binder clips and he clipped it's tail and we put it in a plastic bag. I guess he stomped on it with his shoe and broke it's leg. I had a really hard time calming down and going to bed last night. The girls were all sleeping during all of it, thank goodness and I was trying not to scream even though I really thought I was going to have a heart attack!! I just hope that little mousey was the only one. SO GROSS!!!
