Trying to be Calm

I had this cute, calm, sleeping baby yesterday. I wish I could have been as calm.
I opened a bottom cupboard to get rice out for my husband, and my rice bag was full of holes.
Rice poured out in the cupboard, all over the floor...mice.
It's a deep cupboard, old, goes way back with only a small door.
Everything came out.
Lots of vases, smaller appliances, and my cans of grain.
Thankfully my only casualty was rice, and time, and pocket expense for foam.
I hate mice. I feel very violated. I'm glad it isn't my house.
I'm much calmer, now, thank you for listening!

Sorry to hear about the mice in you cupboards. I think it would take me a while before I could rest like Miller knowing that I had mice in my house.

UGH! So sorry. The good news? It's not your house and so you won't have to deal with it in the long run. I hate feeling violated like that. SORRY!

PS: LOVE the picture of your sweet boy. :)

So sorry! Hang in there, and always remember it is Not you house!

I LOVE this photo.... the calmness belies your lack of calm.

I miss you!

And thanks for the chocolate idea!

Did y'all take care of the last bug problem? When our cat has kittens we will send you a couple that will take care of the mice!!

Sleeping children are SO beautiful!

Yuck. I hate mice too. I'm glad that rice and time were the only casualties, though. Hopefully, they stay the only ones too! By the way, he's adorable. I love angelic pictures of sleeping children!

We had a mouse problem, just one mouse though. At least that's all we caught!??

We have some traps if you need them.

Whenever our rental has ants, WE the owners have to pay to have the exterminator come out and spray all around the house. Why is your landlord not exterminating?!

Looks like you have to put your rice, etc. in glass or metal containers to keep those little mice out of your food. And, traps to set. I'd have your landlord call an exterminator to get rid of those pesky things. What happened with those flies/termites awhile ago? Sorry about your uninvited "guests."
