Mouse!

Last night after I finished my last blog post,I went to bed around 1:00 or so. (I'm a night owl these days...) Aaron had been in bed for a while. Just as I was drifting off, we were both startled out of our sleep when Joey yelped really loud and we could hear him jump up and struggle. I leapt out of bed and went to check on him. He seemed fine. No injuries that I could tell of. The only thing was that he wouldn't lay down anywhere. For about an hour- maybe more- he kept pacing the floor. He'd sit for 30 seconds, then get up and walk around, then sit again for 30 seconds, then get up again. Aaron finally got up (I think he got woken up and couldn't get back to sleep)and sat for a while on the computer and Joey calmed down a bit sitting on the couch with Aaron. Fast forward to this morning. Aaron wakes up around 6:30, frustrated because he forgot to set an alarm and wasn't up as early as he wanted to. He jumped into the shower, and I got up quickly so that I could make his lunch. As I was standing in the kitchen, Joey all of a sudden tried to "get" something (the way he normally plays with his ball) in the corner by the cupboard. I told him to stop and when I knelt down to see what was going on, Joey was shaking! It was really pathetic. He was shaking so hard I could tell he was definately scared! So Joey and I went into the bathroom and talked to Aaron while he was brushing his teeth and getting ready for work. As all three of us were sitting there, we saw it- a mouse! It ran from the kitchen into the bathroom... where I promtply locked it in, with Aaron inside!
Aaron eventually got out, but I don't think the mouse can. So now there's a mouse in my bathroom. And because Aaron is gone all day at school and will be gone tonight at a Knicks game, I have to go buy and set the trap. Awesome. Wish me luck...
