AAAHH...WHAT THE HECK

This morning after I got Cassie fed and changed, I went back into the kitchen to make my breakfast which is normally two pieces of toast and coffee. I had the toast in the toaster and the water in the coffee maker so all I needed now was a coffee filter and I was in business. I opened the cabinet above the stove, grabbed the stack of filters and pulled it out of the cabinet. As I brought my arm down (and I must say that I really pulled the filters out fast) I saw something brown fling through the air and it landed in front of my stove with a light thumping sound. IT WAS A FRICKEN MOUSE! A mouse some how got into my house and worked is way up to the cabinets along the top part of the wall and was making it's home in my coffee filters! I just about pissed my pants! I had clean dishes from last night still in my dish rack on the counter so I grabbed a piece of tupperware and slammed it down over the mouse quickly and slid the cover under the tupperware and closed it. Cassie, of course, was drawn into the kitchen by the noise that I was making cause it was out of character from our usual mornings. she demanded to see the mouse so I made sure the lid was on good and let her carry the mouse around...under supervision of course. She wanted me to take the mouse out but I told her that it had to stay in the container because the mouse could bit and I didn't know what kind of creepy diseases it could be carrying. I kept the mouse long enough to snap a few pictures and then tossed it out my front door. I found a new bundle of filters, opened them up and threw all the other ones away. I still got my morning coffee but I am creeped out by it, I don't think I will ever see coffee the same way again and Cassie has been going around the house saying, "Mommy, mouse will bite you." Where the hell is Scrappy when I need her?
