The life of a hard working Man

Charles has been working a lot of overtime. Because of the rat problems Ella stayed at my in-laws for a few nights which meant Charles didn't get to see her for about 3 days. Last night we called Charles at work before Ella went to bed. As soon as he got on the line she says, "Daddy do you remember me?" Charles: of course I remember you, are you going to bed now? Ella: Yes, are you at work daddy? Charles: yes but I am coming home now! Ella: laughing Don't be silly daddy! We all had a good laugh. Today she has been enjoying some quality time with Daddy and loving it!

I smell a rat!

Well, our blissful newly moved into a wonderful house life came crashing down around our ears this last week. We have Rats. inside the house. IN THE KITCHEN. Disgusting,abhorrent, atrocious, awful, bad, base, beastly, contemptible, cursed, despicable, foul, grim, grody, gross, hairy, heinous, hellish, horrible, horrid, loathsome, lousy, nauseating, obnoxious, odious, offensive, repellent, reprehensible, repugnant, repulsive, revolting, rotten, stinking, terrible, vile, wretched rats. The screen for under the house was left off by the owners for the first two weeks we lived there. They put it on on Saturday. The smell started on Sunday The chewing was found Monday. The sounds started on Monday and the stink became unbearable on Tuesday. We cant even live there right now it is so nauseating. It makes me sick to breath that air. The owners sent and exterminator who put down traps. That was Tuesday. This is a wily rat who isn't about to get caught in a mere trap. Today they are sending someone under the house. I am going to request that we get a cat and that out rent is reduced for the month since WE CANT EVEN LIVE THERE. If you would like to know more about rats click here.

Change

We have been busy! We have moved to a lovely 100 year old bungalow with a great backyard. We love it! With this move Charles and I have decided that we are going to take a break from the internet. I will still get on at the library or at my in-laws but we are not getting it at the house at least not this month. We will see how it goes. I think it will be nice to take a break, already we have seen a difference in the things we do, We dont feel this need to be checking different websites all of the time. The sad part is that I wont be updating my blog very often so you dont get as many cute pics of Ella . :( Guess you all just need to come visit our new home instead! :) Here's to change!
