A surprise in my washing machine....

Before I left for work this morning I was going to throw the sheets in the washing machine. When I opened the lid I let out a blood-curdling scream! I even scared Hubby! What would cause me to shriek like that, you ask? There was a dead mouse in the machine!

It must have been like falling in a well for the little sucker. Even with the drainage holes in the tub he couldn't climb up and out (thank goodness as I've been trying to trap this thing for days!)

Hubby removed the beast and I ran the washing machine through a full cycle with boiling hot water and lots of bleach. By the time I left for work my adrenaline was still pumping but I am just glad this thing isn't running around my house anymore. Blech!
