Current mood: nauseated

Alright, so I don’t know if you guys remember me posting something a few months back about the cockroach story.. and how there are few times in life where you REALLY need a man to be there, and BUGS are definitely one of them.

Well, here’s a continuation of that, and ANOTHER reason why SOMETIMES, it’s better to have a man in the house…

A few days ago, I saw some black pellets on my washer in the garage. I thought to myself… Damn, I have a mouse in the house, but Oh well.. not a big deal. So I went about my business for the next couple of days not thinking anything of it. Well, I park my car in my garage, and one afternoon, I had come back from running some errands. When I got out my car and went to the trunk to pull the groceries out, I saw some HUGE ASS FURRY thing climb out of one of my buckets. OK…. you can’t even IMAGINE how high I jumped and how I yelped in disgust and astonishment of HOW FREAKING BIG this rodent was! This, my friends was no little mouse that I had been dealing with. We’re talking FULL ON, GIMONGOUS RAT… Just the body was the side of my entire HAND…not just my palm!

So I TOTALLY freaked out and called my mom.. (as all kids do when they’re in trouble) and she said, "Aiya, Steph… Just go buy one of those mouse sticky traps with the peanuts on them. Tomorrow you will have caught the mouse!" SIGH… So I went to Walgreens to look for those mouse traps (not the snapping kind cause that is just too cruel), and i put the trap out. I saw the little specs of peanuts it had in the middle of the trap, and I thought that it wouldn’t be enough to trick the rat to the trap, so I put just a tad of peanut butter in the middle of the trap.

Well, just the THOUGHT of seeing that rat stuck in the trap was enough to confine me in my home ALL night (cause my car was parked in the garage). That night when I went to sleep, I closed my door (which I never do), and turned on some soft music to fall asleep to. JUST IN CASE i heard the rat squealing in the middle of the night in utter agony!

>>>>This is where the having a man part kinda comes in handy. Cause if someone was here, then I would NEVER have to deal with this kind of stuff!!! SHEESH!<<<<

The next morning, I woke up TOTALLY early, and tiptoed downstairs to the garage. I was SOOOOOOO scared to see what I was about to see, but at the same time, I wanted that stupid rat GONE! When I opened the door, I thought, OH GOD Steph, prepare yourself! Prepare yourself!!! If you see something, then it’s OK… just call one of my guy friends to come to clean it for me…

Much to my surprise, the mouse trap was not even in the same place that I had put it! I thought it might have possibly dropped in the crack cause the rat was trying to struggle, so I tiptoed again to the side, and it wasn’t there EITHER!!! Then, I saw BEHIND the water heater (which is almost 3 feet away) The STUPID RODENT had dragged it ALL the way back there!

IT ATE THE PEANUT BUTTER, AND TOOK OFF!!!! WHAT….. THE…. ?????????!!!!!!!

You know what was left on the trap? a bunch of fur, and a piece of paper… the beast must have been TOO big to get stuck on the trap!!!

I was SO shocked that I didn’t even know WHAT to do. SO, I called my mom again. This time she said, "OK, go back to the store and 6 of the mouse traps and tape them together!!! Then put peanut butter in the MIDDLE and see!"

Well, it’s been 2 days, and nothing yet. All i have is a bunch of sticky white trays that are all taped together at the bottom, and a bunch of peanut butter in the middle. I think the rodent got scared and learned his lesson…

SIGH….

Oh my GOD, SERIOUSLY… if one of these days I go to grab one of my pairs of shoes to wear and that THING comes crawling out of them…. I’ll DIE FOR SURE!!!
