A bag of squirrels and mice please

So my post last night was all over the place, frankly I'm sure it made no sense to anyone, including me. I'm sorry about that, I was on a roll in my head then started typing and Dave come in with news from the school meeting...needless to say I lost my train of thought and went on a bit of tangent. None of it making any sense. But to make my point now simple and short, I just think we need to take responsibility as parents to raise well adjusted kids. That's it.

Today I had the Mice Man come to place the poison around and promise me no mice for at least 3 months. We had them come a year ago and haven't seen any signs since then but I'm not waiting for a sign. For anyone who does not know this already, I TOTALLY HATE MICE!!! They scare the shit out of me. I can tell you in the past the sight of a mouse trap could send me into a panic attack. I've gotten much better over the past few years, mostly I put on a brave face so I don't give my daughters the same disease of fear. Still the idea that tiny little rodents could be making their way around my house and eating my cashmere sweaters (this actually happened to me) makes me want to puke in my mouth!

So now we have new poison, new traps and the mouse dude said that only one poison trap was 'active', meaning had been eaten lately. It happens to be the trap near where my sweaters used to be in a plastic bin, the cover must not have been sealed and they nested in there and ATE my sweater! Assholes. But I digress again. So here is where I pose the new issue. We have a squirrel in our overhang roof area (I'm not sure what the technical term for this is) Yesterday morning when I went out to the deck to pick up the plants blown around by the wind the night before I heard scratching above me. I nearly had a heart attack, this sound conquers up only fear of mice for me! So I found Dave had him come investigate and it seems they have found a hole near the edge of the roof and are in the overhang area. Squirrels, we figure, since it was loud and to big sounding for a mouse... This is what prompted my call to the Mouse Dude. But I soon found out that mice we can poison without question, squirrels, we need to call another dude who can set traps. Are squirrels not just more social mice with furry tails and beady eyes. They are bigger yes, and have little to no fear of humans. Mice seem to keep to themselves more not showing their faces very often THANK GOD!!! So why can we kill the shy rodent but we have to trap, the annoying in your face assholes who chewed a hole in my house! I hate them all, mice, squirrels, rodents in general have no purpose as far as I'm concerned except to annoy people and give the mouse dude a job. I paid $200 to have a mouse free house for a guarantee of 3 months, and now I make the call to the squirrel dude and god only knows what crazy fee he will charge to save the fucking squirrel so he can go live in someone else's house!!! GO home to the forest rodents go home.
