OMG! Rats are NOT cute! EVER! I was downstairs in the laundry two nights ago and one ran across a rafter above me and disappeared. I resisted the urge to run screaming and flailing upstairs throwing myself upon the girls in hysteria. In fact I haven't TOLD them.... last time one of them saw one downstairs a few years ago they refused to go down again for a year! And I need someone to whip down to the freezer for me at times! AND I will end up doing ALL the laundry all the time again.
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.... Bad mother. Such a bad mother.

Just keep swimming... just keep swimming.. just keep swimming....
