Dry Run or "There are Mice Dancing on my bed!!"

Because I work the night shift my Mother has volunteered to be the token adult at home when I work. Finding someone to be in the house when you work the night shift is actually more difficult then you would think. My Mother and I have talked it over many times about how it would be for her to stay over night at my house and how it will affect her life.

Well the opportunity has presented itself to us for a dry run hence the title of this post. My Mother called me about 2 weeks ago half crying half yelling and this is what she said

Mother "There are mice dancing on my bed!!!
Me (Half a sleep) What?
Mother " They are dancing on my bed!!! They are trying to attack me!!

Okay so the truth is she saw a mouse. She did not see any actual dancing. So now she refuses to go home. Honestly I could care less if she decided to just move in but I would never want to take away her Independence plus I think she really likes her house. I consider us very lucky because our exterminator called me back within 5 minutes of me leaving a message and was at her house with in 15 minutes looking for those dancing mice.

My be she will be home by Thanksgiving?? I think she does not want to leave because she knows that I plan on not telling anyone (except my loyal readers) about the referral and trip until I am just about ready to leave. I like to surprise people.
