Peek-a-boo




We have mice. It's only fitting, I suppose, considering I had been using a mouse as my logo/signature. But I digress... We have mice. They were here before we moved in and have since multiplied. We bought live traps and had been capturing them and taking them to a feild a couple of miles away and letting them go. After many restless nights lying awake listening to the little buggers, I got up and was working on the computer when this little guy shows up. The bookshelf next to my desk became a jungle gym for the little mouse as he scurried over my art books, mocking me.

"Peek-a-boo," he says. "You can't catch me."

As soon as I moved any more than my head he took off. He's right. I can't catch him. *sigh*

Thank you, Ms. Froggie. (= My little one found a mouse in her bedroom this morning and came to tell me. She says, 'but it's ok, Mommy. He can stay there if he wants to because he's so cute.'
