1 down 2 to go!!!



yes my friends RATS!!! a few weeks ago, I hear a strange noise in the garage...look up and see a RAT running up the bicycle tire into the rafters! freaking out I call Bobby, which he informs me "oh yeah, I see him everyday i come home, i think he's been there for a year"!!! WHAT?!!! A YEAR!! immediately I head to the store to buy a rat trap. A few days later..SUCCESS! rat killed!.....fast forward a week....bobby opens the garage door and see's not just 1 but 2 rats run under the car! Houston we have a problem!! 1-800-exterminator!

well now that we're opening up to household guests...we had about 600 baby spiders hatch on our cieling RIGHT ABOVE OUR BED! I, of course, was home alone with Holland and Steve was enjoying himself at a movie with my sister's husband. I had to try to smash them all, WHILE they were all descending. Yeah, I showered immediately, had to wait until Steve came home because we only had one car at the time...packed Holland up and headed to Grandma's. Came home the next day, took everything to the dry-cleaners and washed everything in sight. I would prefer rats in the rafters.

Sick! I'm never coming over again!! hehe Just kidding. What I want to know is.. who gets the fun job of throwing the dead rat away? I think that's grosser then the actual rats! Gutsy little critters doing acrobatics right in front of you guys. Hey if you need help, I'll throw on a helmet and a broom and we can go to town chasing them down. You know, kind of like ghost busters style :)

Too funny! There is the difference between men and women, he sees it and you have to do something about it - so typical. I hope he did his manly duties and picked up the dead one.

Good luck with the next two, hopefully that is all and they have not had rat babies!

If the rats are giving you the willies - watch "Ratatouille" - it shows cute rats.

Oh my gosh, i get sick just thinking about seeing one. Our neighbors had one in their garage and we had a family of racoons in our attic earlier in the year. That isone thing that don't tell you about when living in Florida, sun, beaches, parks, and rodents...yuck! Hopefully you don't have to discard them.

I do have a phone number for Nancy. It's 435-659-0268. I'm excited for your February visit -- we'll definitely have to do lunch with all three of us. Can I get your email? That'll be easier don't you think, for setting up a get together. Thanks!! (p.s. mine is kanderson510@hotmail.com)

Oh that is awful. Especially being pregnant, you are even more freaked out. When I was pregnant with Aiden we had 1 little mouse in our house & couldn't sleep for weeks. Good luck catching them!
