The Scheer Adventures - MICE!!!

After over two months of being away, including about six weeks in the Seattle area, we finally came back to our home in Spokane. Little did we know that a huge, disgusting, surprise was waiting for us. The entire house had been infested by mice....every last corner! I was finding mice poop in drawers, in between linens on high shelves, on beds, counters....everything. It was horrible! We were exhausted after driving for over 4 hours with the kids, cat, trailer, and car top carrier full of stuff, and then had to deep clean the whole house and sanitize everything. We've been doing laundry non-stop for almost 3 days! On top of that, our computer wasn't working at first and our front faucet has a huge leak, in which Matt is going to have to climb into our crawl space to fix the pipe. Let me just say that we've been more than a little stressed. The last 3 days have been a whirlwhind of cleaning and trying to get settled in again, but we are finally getting caught up and are feeling a little better about things. I will say that other than this unexpected setback, it is good to be home.

Eeek - mice are the worst! I've done battle with this formidable foe before. Matt & I will have to trade notes at Christmas.

Pat & Chris has a couple of "ratters" - maybe we could send one home with you?


"This is what God the Lord says - he who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it: I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness. Isaiah 42:5-7
