Of Mice and Men and Money


So, what am I supposed to learn from a mouse infestation? Should that be a 'mice' infestation? After all, it it were only a single mouse it would not be an infestation nor would it get my attention like this!

Why?

I called the Pest control (after the spread of much poison) and they said all they would do is put out traps-and charge $45 to do it. Then they would charge me another $45 to come back and dump them. Thus the money issue. I invested in more poison.

That is where the question of men comes into play. Where is he when I need him? Traps or poisoned-they still need to be removed. And he is working in out of town, of course. and that is where he should be, but . . .

All I seem to have are the mice. Thank heavens for beck, and her willingness to 'act like a man' and dispose of the newly departed.

But yesterday, I heard sounds coming out of my washer-and they were not the usual washing or even the banging sounds. UGH!!!!!

Maybe we can borrow some traps for the weekend and my man can perform his husbandly duty.

Well that is the mortal side of my dilemma. What is the really message behind the message?

"Rid yourself of the unwanted infestation, even if it takes the intermediate help of a kind, brave intervener and the long term assistance a greater power.



There was a (middle aged-life experienced) woman who live in a house. Where in entered a tiny mouse. But being alone he invited his friends The house warm and lovely, like mid-century inns. The boys and girls they multiplied While the woman in charge-her nerves became fried. She tried all the easy ways to get rid of the demons, But undeterred they flourished and had little ones. The woman a fright, sought solutions fast and easy But learned this challenge was not 'easy breezy'. Now admitting her powerless and exhausted state She called upon the powers that always await. (ME--I am sincerely praying for the ending) A solution was found by those that have power, there is no longer the need to shiver or cower. She's no longer afraid of kneeling alone She's grateful for courage and how she has grown.
