Claire is home sick today so over lunch she got to watch Dr. Phil with me. My nephew (aged 3) wasn’t too keen on shutting his trap while we tried to watch and I could see Claire was getting quite annoyed. I’m used to watching TV and playing with him at the same [...]
I couldn’t do it… I just couldn’t sentence the mice in my house to death. When the pest controller rang I told him it was O.K I had the situation under control, I then rang the real estate to notify them that we won’t be needing the pest control after all. [...]
