Mouse a la mode

A couple of weeks ago, Josh and I would sometimes smell something, like maybe a dead mouse. We've smelled it before, so we know that a dead mouse looms somewhere in the kitchen. Just this past week, I open up the top oven to put a dish in, and there is a mouse tail. Serious! A mouse tail. Just laying there. I looked up and down, and all over the oven and I could not see a dead mouse. Kinda freaked me out a bit, but what could I do? Nothing! All I had was a mouse tail.

Tonight I turn on the top oven again to use the broiler. I am holding Joey, and waiting for the cheese toast to get done, and there it is! Stuck in the outer upper part of the oven, is a dried up dead mouse! It looked like it was trying to get INTO my stove top! Totally grossed me out. I would have seen it the other day when I was looking, so all I can think of is because now it was dried up to nothing, and maybe when I was using the oven today, it cause it to come down in the crack. Missing it's tail too. So, there you have it...

Mouse a la mode!
