Mouse in the house part 2

Following up from last nights story. I finally got off the couch and went to get my broom and bucket (must haves for catching a mouse) put on my shoes (just it case it runs over my feet) and went to move the couch. Once that was moved i didn't see the mouse so i moved the rubbermaid container sitting beside the couch (aka my end table) and i still didn't see it. So i took the cushions off the couch... nope not under there so I flipped the couch over thinking maybe it crawled up into the couch... well there is a holey liner covering the bottom of my couch and i wasn't about to put my hand in one of the holes to be bit. So i then was about to give up and go get a glue trap. When I picked up my rug to straiten it the mouse ran out and the chase was on again! I had my broom in one hand the bucket in the other chasing this mouse around my living room trying to catch it. I am thankful my living room is a step down from the other rooms keeping it confined to one room. Finally the mouse made it to my recliner and out of reach of my broom. Thinking of how much easier this process might be with an extra pair of hands I called kirk over to use the broom to trap it or throw the bucket on it when it was trapped. So he came over about 10:30 at night and we shook the chair and beat the chair trying everything to scare the mouse out. It didn't work. So kirk went back home
( My living room was a disaster after being torn up chasing the mouse)
And kirk brought over a glue trap that I added peanut butter too to catch the mouse for me and I went to bed. This morning when i woke up there was still no mouse in the glue trap so I am hoping that it found its way out of my house, but this afternoon I will have to go through the recliner and make sure we didn't kill it while we where shaking and hitting the chair. In a week or two I would hate to have a smell start to come from my chair!
Have a great mouse free day!
Be blessed and be a blessing
I love you
Erin
