My biggest challenge

You know how we're only given challenges that we can handle?
Yah, I'm about done with that concept.

I was proud of myself the way I came out of this challenge with my sense of humor still intact.

Never did I suspect it was just preparation for what lie ahead with this Pearl Harbor move.
Meet the latest:
Polynesian roof rat! And no - I'm not about to personalize this experience more by giving them a different name.

These pests make my termite problem in Guam seem like keiki play.


But with the help of Fred the exterminator/verminator - my new best friend - we're going to conquer! (Or at least displace them for the next 10 months!)
So far 10 of those pests have left our house for a better place - the plastic garbage bag!















*chal·lenge: to arouse or stimulate especially by presenting with difficulties

Ok, so I meant my comment on the one for Madi's room to be on this one.
I actually think Madi's room is awesome!

Get a Riddex--they're not too expensive, they keep the bugs out too (at least it works for me!)

Have we ever told you the story of Hanan and the rat trap at church? This one might have done more damage.

Oh My Grabs! That is horrible! They don't look any different than any other rat out there! You guys have my total support to say its too much!

Ewwwww! I agree with your game plan here! I so am not a fan of the rodent species.
