Plain White Trash

Last Thursday I got in my car, put my seatbelt on as usual and was shocked to find that my seatbelt was shredding. I knew I hadn't seen that before, but figured it must be scrapping on something. Friday it was shredded even more and Saturday morning when Ezra and I got in the car to go to the Temple it was completely in two. On Monday Ezra replaced the strap and then did a sweet thing and completely cleaned the car, he even vacuumed and shampooed the carpet. Yesterday morning I got in the car and the new belt was shredded and there was garbage on the floor at my feet that had definitely been "chewed." The droppings that were left were not cute little mouse size either. I bought a trap, and this morning I'm grateful for a husband. I can do little green bugs, but rats are not my thing! OH YUCK! We'll set it again tonight to see if there's been more than one. So! Rule #1. Don't leave food in your car, it attracts unwanted vistors. You wouldn't think something that big could get in, but it did. Sorry kids, I guess your mom is offically "plain white trash."

I HATE RATS! Can I say it any louder? I HATE THEM! You had better check the garage, too. If they are anywhere around, they are everywhere. If you have a crawl space under the house, put a trap there, too. You can get rid of them but they leave a scent that attracts all their cousins so you have to be very vigilant! Can you tell I have had experience with these things?!!! Good luck tracking them all down.

Hi! I found you through Jenn's blog.. yes... I admit I am a blog "stalker". This is Lorie, Chris's Sister. I just had to tell you that that happened to me in High School. I had a mouse living in my car. One time I was giving some friends a ride and he ran across this guy's feet. He screamed like a woman! It was so funny. Just so you know, you are in good company.

Dee Dee, you have some pretty funny stories. I keep reading these and then turning to tell Shaun about them...I'm probably getting pretty annoying relaying EVERYTHING I'm reading to him...but it's funny stuff! We hope you are all doing well! Hopefully we can see you guys sometimes in the near future.
