minor heart attack

ok....so i'm not an overly girly kinda girl in general, but when it comes to insects and rodents and super amazingly scary things like that, i'm a total baby! haha
when we moved into my parents house and into carson's old room down in the basement, dust quickly found this out and came to love and appreciate my girliness in the scary thing department :) i found a few big and gross and disgusting spiders that he would have to come and kill for me while i stood a few safe feet away to make sure that they didn't hide from him cuz then i wouldn't be able to sleep. supposedly, we eat an average of 7 of those sick little things per year, and i was determined that not of my 7 would be ones that i had the chance to kill - well the chance for dust to kill! anyway.....

spiders are gross and not cool at all for this girly girl, but nothing prepared me for what i found in our bathroom the other night. i know we live in the basement, and i should have been prepared or at least open to the option of possible rodents making our home their home, but i wasn't. i went into the bathroom and was about to pull down my pants when i saw something brown and little in the corner. it's all a complete blur to me now, but i screamed, it ran at me cuz that was the only way out of the corner where he was, i jumped all over the place horrified that i might step on it and high tailed it outta there. i ran into the bedroom high kicking it the whole way screaming my head off and couldn't even talk to tell dust what i had found. i climbed up on the bed and screamed in a pillow til i could speak and then told the story. i seriously think i suffered a minor heart attack! it was so stinkin scary - and i know that's lame cuz as my mom, dad, and dust pointed out to me and as i already know, what was that little mouse gonna do to me?!? nothing! anyway, dust told me to get a cup so he could trap it, but then it was gone of course. we set up a trap, but it still sits there empty after 5 days have passed. needless to say, i had to use the upstairs bathroom for my middle of the night pee runs for a while, and now i just have to turn the light on, make some noise, look around, and then i'm good to go! haha mice are soooo disgusting, and this girly girl is not a fan at all!!!
