I should be asleep. But instead I thought I would share a little piece of the Alley pie with you. It's been a rough couple of weeks. Charlotte has been sick for about two weeks now, and I was on the verge of losing my mind today. But the second half of the day was fabulous. Something about the trip to the grocery store must have awakened Charlotte's desire to be chipper, because I don't think she did the "I'm going to cry and force you to hold me even though I'm not tired, hungry, dirty, or in desire of companionship" thing after 12:30 pm. Yay!!! Or maybe it was the desperate prayer that I sent to the Lord this morning. Probably that.
We also have an extra companion in our home to add to our excitement. A rat. Yep. Gotta love it. Actually, he hasn't presented himself since we got back home from visiting family, so maybe he decided six is a crowd. But he certainly had a great time while we were gone. Pooped all over our bedroom. Ate a hole in my sheets. Peed on my kitchen counter. You know that last post where I said I hate cleaning? Nothing like a little rat urine to bring out a girl's desire to scrub the crap out of her kitchen (pun intended). I knew that our area has had some trouble with roof rats, but this is the first time one of them has found a way in. I have two very sticky professional traps in my bedroom that dare one of them to do some more exploring. Is it wrong to wish death upon them? I think not. I'm tired of sleeping on the pull-out in the living room.
On a happier note, Charlotte clapped today. And Owen showed off his skipping skills at the library. Fun times.

Oh disgusting...we had rodents in our kitchen and the professional sticky traps. I thought I was brave until one landed in the trap and started squealing. I called Pete and made him come home to toss it out. Yuck. I'm sending you sticky vibes and bravery when you do catch those rats!!!
Ok, so I posted that comment on your other post before I read this one. I was not trying to rub in the fact that we don't have mice. Who knows? We may have mice and I'm just too lazy to look for the evidence. Either way, I hope you've found a dead rat by now!!
