This morning at 5:30 I reached into the silverware drawer to pull out a fork as I was packing my husband's lunch: leftover chicken stirfry. (yum!) Something wiggled in the back of the drawer and caught my eye, so I pulled the drawer all the way open. There it was. The anarchist struggled against the gluetrap. I felt kind of bad for it, because I know it was just succumbing to the temptation of Mo's Bacon Bar, and who doesn't need a little chocolate now and then? I picked up the trap and set it in a plastic bin, and I promised the little mouse that I would release it after I finished packing Troy's lunch.
As promised, I dribbled a little vegetable oil on the mouse until it was free, and it jumped back into the plastic bin. After Ethan woke up and had breakfast, we loaded the bin into the back of my suv and took the mouse for a drive. We released it in a field a few miles from our house. Operation Rat Bastard was a complete success!
Now I must go scrub the hell out of all of the silverware and disinfect the drawer.

Operation Rat Bastard: Part II
The anarchist evaded the trap baited w/MBB. A worthy adversary...the tiny insurgent must be eliminated! I must find a more strategic location. I discovered more mouse-bombs under the kitchen sink, so I believe that is his point of entry. Perhaps I can set up a gluetrap blockade and force him into submission!

Operation Rat Bastard
Further evidence of the anarchist was discovered this morning. A strategically placed glue trap baited with a piece of Mo's Bacon Bar awaits his next visit. I don't care for chocolate with bacon in it, but a hungry mouse might!

Grab yer brain bucket; we're going in again!
Last week's glue-trap siege was a success; Macgyver was safely released with vegetable oil and escorted away from the premises to an undisclosed location. However, evidence of a second anarchist was discovered under the kitchen sink at approximately 1400 yesterday . Enlisting snipers could get messy. Glue traps FTW!
