Isn't it Ironic?

Well, needless to say, I was alarmed by the arrival of a new unwanted guest in the kitchen; A mouse!!! I've been wondering for the past two days if the clicking noise in the kitchen is my fridge going out. Nope, I’m sure it’s a mouse. I put a call in for an exterminator on Sunday to come and rid my home of the unwanted thieving lil rodent.

The irony lies in the fact that shortly after the exterminator call on Sunday the boys mouse, Mickey, left this life. We’re not exactly sure what happened, could have been the gigantic waterbottle that fell off the side of the cage and possibly squished the poor lil guy to death, or he could have been sick with some atrocious rodent disease or maybe simply the fact that a mouse has the lifespan of FLY!! However, Carissa found him belly up, stiff and stinky on Sunday morning. It was quite traumatic. Gavin and Kasey were completely distraught over losing their beloved disgusting lil rodent. We had a small burial ceremony outside at the tree. Gavin dug the whole and buried Mickey, Carissa gave a prayer and Kasey gave the eulogy (as best as a 5 year old could).

So… Now I’ve got the mouse I don’t want dead... dead. And the one I would like terminated still alive and kickin. Se La Vie.

(I apologize for not having more compassion for the revolting repulsive vile lil rodent. Obviously, I'm not a big fan of mice. Whoever thought that giving children mice as pets was a very imprudent person)

I intend to help my children live a longer life than me.
