about the rat(s):
my dad put the rat poison out a day or two ago and he said it looked like it ate some so it should die soon. but i heard it last nite, i never noticed before but now im all paranoied. it was running around in my closet and it sounded like there was more than one. but i said, its ok, they cant get to me. they cant get out of the closet. so i went to sleep. then at 6 there was this rattling RIGHT next to my bed. it sounded like something was crawling through this basket of papers i have. and i sat straight up and i was like "no, oh no, please no! there is no way!" and i was trying to find the lightswitch. so i finaly turn it on and i look over and the noise stopped. there were too many blankets in the way so i couldnt see anything where the noise was comming from. and i figured that since i was making so much noise that it would run away. well i didnt want it to run around my bed and get me so i leapt from my bed and ran downstairs. i was just gonna go downstairs cuz it was still early but i head my dads alarm clock go off so i went in there and told him that there was something in my bed. but, of course, when he came up everything was fine. and he went in the closet and put out more rat poison and showed me how the rat couldnt possibly get out of the closet. and he was like "im showing you cuz i dont want you to be scared and have nightmares.." and i was thinking, "dad, it doesnt terrify me, im not gonna have bad dreams about it, i just dont want it to bite me..sheesh" so i figured that the sound was prolly comming from a squirel or sumthing outside my window. then i went back to sleep.
o great, now theres a wasp in here. gosh im so sick of this house!!
