Wahhh!! I Sold My Car!

On the one hand, yay! I have a bit of $$, on the other, Wah! I LOVED my car.

I suppose it's time though...(wait'll you hear this...)

Daddy went over (the cars are parked across the road) to check and see if his car would still run, and it did, so he thought he'd peek at mine. I came out of the house with Oscar just then, so I walked over to see what he was up to, he lifted the hood and....there was a HUGE rat nested on top of the motor! I swear, it was as big as Tiger...which to understand, you'd have to know Tiger, so...lets say TWICE as big as any tame rats I've ever seen....HUGE HUGE HUGE rat on my motor!

Anyway, he ran off and went...well where else, to the compost pile, since it's right there next to the car...I should have had Daddy park my car somewhere else.

Daddy said he thought there was droppings (mouse droppings, not rat) inside the car, too, so I looked, and yep...we've had mice inside, too.

Before, I knew there had been some in the trunk. Trunk is icky, but I've cleaned it up before, so most everything is in sealed boxes. Motor is acceptable, because it can just be sprayed. But INSIDE!! I can't deal with mouse droppings inside the car. So, since yesterday a man up the road asked if we'd like to sell any of our cars, so Daddy called him back and offered it. Just yesterday I wouldn't have sold it at all, and today I couldn't wait to get rid of it.

A rat will do that to me. lol

I'm at the library again...and the girls are doing the after-school program. They've been watching Gilligan's Island again, and that makes for SO many connections. I LOVE Gilligan's Island. lol

I've been reading a book about Lucille Ball, and discovered that Mom has two *early* movies with her in them...Roman Scandals, which was her first Hollywood movie...and so now I'm going to have to borrow them and watch them so we can try to pick her out.
