This is War

We have mice. Argh. I'm so annoyed. We have two totally useless cats. Aren't they supposed to take care of such issues? I've only seen one mouse (at at time) but I'm sure there're more than one. They haven't found the food yet (knock on wood) but I know they're in the kitchen and have SEEN it now on a couple of occasions (including WHILE I was standing in the kitchen about 10 minutes ago!! Argh!

I *used* to be opposed to setting traps, but this is it. I've had it. We've gotta get rid of these pests!!

The traps are coming out.


(and by coming out I mean we have to go buy some & set them...sounds like a good job for Steve, right?)

ish. I think they make some traps that electrocute them. It is suppose to be more humane.

Tom's the expert - in our old house we found one in the dishwasher! He suggests hamburger meat and you twist tie it to the trap....sounds bad, but they are really good at getting at y, wouldn't want to have them injured and suffer.

Yes my friend, it is kind of a man thing. The sooner you get them out of the way the better off you will be. Hope it goes quickly for you.

Once, when I lived with my brother and he & his all living creature loving GF (now my SIL) were away, I set out traps with peanut butter and caught two in one snap trap. Those things are mighty effective.

Happy hunting

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
