And Now I'm In Tears

"Mommy there is some kind of animal eating in our yard." Baby announces.

"It's true there is. It lives in that hole." Kid follows.

Rodent.

Sizable.

Grayish-Brown.

Bare tail (it makes me gag just to write it).

For fucking real.

I can't take anymore.

You know I have a SEVERE rodent phobia right?

You can think it's ridiculous all you want... It's not something I can control.

And you know I'm trying to sell my house.

And there is a big old rodent sitting right in front of my house.

WTF is going on?

Exterminators are being called.

But how will we leave the house until they can come?
