I had a client (Janet) whose Neighbor Lady moved from Oklahoma to California one weekend to be closer to her daughter. Neighbor Lady called Janet and asked her to check on her mom's house. Janet was surprised because Neighbor Lady's mom had died seven years earlier. Come to find out, Neighbor Lady closed the door to her mom's house and never went back inside. She paid somebody to mow the lawn, thereby deterring the neighbors from calling the city to complain about the unoccupied house, but she never went back inside. So Janet went inside and found all the food liquified and oozing from the fridge, rodents living in the couch, and other nastiness. So I guess my point is that you're probably right on the money that the raccoons are fighting it out in the neighbor's vacant house. Pre-staying home with the kids I was a hairstylist.

Poo reference, dead wildlife. So funny! My kids do the same with the Lucky Charms too, I just put the uneaten cereal back in the box. Eventually they eat it. This material is classic.

Year 'round. Even to church. Drove my husband NUTS...especially when his older sister reminded him that he did his own version as a kid. ;) Hope the racoon is removed without any trouble! Poor P...hope he can get out of that job somehow!

(minus the dead raccoon). I also enjoy that small time to "meditate" in the morning with my three year old and three month old. Seriously, your post made me laugh out loud and it's nice to know mom's like me are not alone! OMG did you somehow possess me and live a day in my life? (minus the dead raccoon).
