The simplest things here are never without a bit of excitement. We’ve needed a rug for the family room ever since we refinished the hardwood floors, which was two years ago. With the cold weather just around the corner, I increased my search for the ‘perfect’ rug, one that would not show the dirt, fit the room in size and style and still be inexpensive or let’s just say it…cheap.
Overstock and I found it! It arrived and I dove into setting it up the moment I arrived home from school. It was very good, that Number Two Son was upstairs as I would need just a little help moving some of the furniture. I hollered upstairs to him,
“Would you mind helping me put the new rug down?”
‘Okay, let me know when you need me.’
I started moving the simple furniture, moved the couch and let out the loudest girly scream you might have ever heard! Dead mouse…grey and flattened…and gross.
Back to the stairwell and more hollering upstairs,
“Number Two!!!!”
‘Dead thing?”
“YES!”
I paced in the living room as I waited for the Dead Thing Removal Crew (Number Two Son and a strong stomach) to clean up the dead mice, yes mice as in more than the one I saw, it had a friend. Two dead mice and it was gross and it would be better if The Damn Cat could do her job, more out in the open…or something.
…and the rug…
fabulous and currently mouse free.
Great rug! and I see “the Damn Cat ” lurking behind the rocking chair.
You spied her!
The rug is beautiful!
Thanks Diane,
It works so well! I am thrilled with it…feels like this room is finally ‘done’!
It’s a good thing that Mark and Brian didn’t know about your “disaffinity for” mice, especially dead ones, when they were growing up and you were the girl next door.
Oh, so true!
