We have had an ongoing mice problem in the garage. It wasn’t really an issue for me. I kept the bird seed in a metal trashcan. There, no big deal! I have always had cats in the house, and sometimes outdoors cats. Needless to say, the mice do not come inside.

I will always champion the single parents and military spouses. I really do not think I am made of the material they are to handle the enormous task of parenting on my own.
