This is a great ending to a precious story Mona. You're not alone in this endeavor or anything else.

I'm laughing with you!

Peace, love, and mice.

I empathize, Mona. I HATE mice!!!! If there are signs of one in the basement, I make my husband put all kinds of stuff down there!!! Yuk

I'm imagining there are many, many, many rodent relatives living too close for comfort. I really don't want to know!

I'd much rather be wrong and embarrassed than right and have to deal with a dead mouse. So yay for being wrong! I'm glad you asked for help and faced your fears. Now your dread is at least partially lifted.

Me too! Now it's the live mice that worry me. I'm not going to use the poison, though. There is the real chance the dying poisoned mice could be eaten by a fox or some other critter I have no truck with, and I don't want that. But right now everything is clean, with new shelf paper everywhere. I have to figure out how to keep it that way!

Love the story.

Go buy new kitchen stuff.

Just the absolute basics that you need AND get an exterminator to seal the house for you. You'll sleep better at night...

I think it was an honest mistake. Mice are the worst!
