Snotty Noses and Squirrels....

Snotty Noses and Squirrels...

Well, this morning I learned one more thing about being a homeowner. I was getting ready for church and heard a strange thumping noise towards my roof. I thought Jett (my cat) was just playing in another room, but then noticed he was sitting in the hall staring at the ceiling. Then I thought maybe I just had a few shingles loose on my roof, and when the wind blew it was just slapping it against the roof.... but THEN I heard... the scampering and scratching. I heard the rodent scampering across the attic floor and then scratching the floor. It could be a rat, but the thumping sounded like a tail of a squirrel, and I figured it would be easiest for a squirrel or chipmunk to climb to my attic. So for now, I have a tenant in my home, who refuses to pay rent. If he doesn't move out on his own... I will have to exterminate the sucker. Sad... squirrels are so cute, but I don't pay my large mortgage payment to house little zoo friends. I'll keep you updated on the fate of my furry not-so-appreciated friend.

After my squirrel excitement, I wen to church and worked in the nursery. I think I wiped about 20 snotty noses, because it seems all the children were sick with colds or allergies! YUCK. I would rather change 100 gross green, stinky diapers, than wipe a snotty nose! I do love working in the nursery though. Since I don't live close enough to spoil my nephew as I'd like- I work in the nursery once a month, get my "kid fix" and then happily give them back to the parents and go back to my selfish, single girl, childless life. I appreciate the quiet time more:) But green boogers.... ugh!

This is random, but I thought I would post pictures of my house ( sorry the squirrel wouldn't come out and pose for the camera), because it's changed so much since many have seen it. Here are a few! First my living room... My Dining area (that rarely gets used). The Kitchen.
The Wizard of OZ room (aka. John Parker's room, guest bedroom, sewing room, etc...)

The Guest Bedroom.
