The Draper school has a mascot!

Yes, we have a little small critter running around in our garage. The garage, that in only 3 days I have grown to love as our new school room. The kids love it...we all concentrate better in there being away from the rest of the house....not worrying about internet, tv, phone, or a messy house. That is until.....I thought I saw a little furry thing out of the corner of my eye. No, surely I was seeing things. Then Rachel announces....."I just saw a RAT"....right about the time Noah was spelling the word trying to teach her. And now....I have seen a little brown thing...I tried to get closer, and he jumped, and I jumped and ran back in the house....shutting the door leaving Noah in there alone. What kind of mother am I?? Aparently one that is really freaked out by a little bitty mouse! I tried leaving the garage door partly open today in hopes he would run out.....but no, Clay saw him later.

And we did our reading lesson sitting on the couch today....b/c I am totally freaked out.....and I know it is silly. We did go in there later on, and I was totally creaped out, and thought about it the whole time.

No, spiders don't scare me.....but little bitty mice do! And frogs too. They give me the total heeby jeeby's! And now, everytime someone goes in the garage I yell......SHUT THE DOOR!! I am so scared it is going to get in the house. I might would just have to move out!

  2. OH, don't worry! I am sure that it is just one of the sibling rats in the garage! The mama and daddy are in the house with the heating and a/c! LOL

  3. I'll come get the rat for you if you promise to kill any spiders for me!

    Mice don't bother me... in fact, yesterday I was in the post office and saw a little bitty one walking along the edge of the wall. It was behind the counter - so it may be the part-time help, I'm not sure. But he was really cute so I didn't tell them about him - was afraid I might cause his death! :) LOL

    Now... I DON'T like them in my house... but I don't go nuts about it. Spiders on the other hand... they make me hurt myself trying to get away from them!
