Eek a Mouse!

I started this post almost a month ago! Where has the summer gone? So anyway about a month ago I opened up my laundry chute one morning to see this.

My eyes first took in the shredded waistband of my favorite new capris. Then I noticed the MOUSE. Fortunately, it was dead. I'm guessing it suffocated when someone threw more clothes down the laundry chute. I put on some rubber gloves and put it in a plastic bag, tied it up and threw it in the garbage can outside. Then I took every item of clothing out while still wearing the gloves and had to pick mouse poop off of most of it.

YUCK!!!

Then I washed everything with bleach.

Here's a close-up of my pants. Luckily, my Mom is very

handy with a sewing machine and patched them up for

me so I can still wear them.

I still can't figure out how the mouse got in there.
