Not in my job description...

ok, I'll admit I have dreams of country living, but as far as I can tell I am not there yet. I am still in suburbia, at least that's what I thought until this am.

As my children and 11 of their friends went romping through the yard, the boys excitedly yelled, " Hey mom we found a dead possum!" I of course instinctively yelled, "don't touch it , it may be playing possum!". (deep in my heart hoping it was indeed a possum), But noooo, of course not, it was a..... yup you guessed it ....a DEAD RAT!....all I can say is ewwwww, and thank you to my brave friend Julie, for shoveling it into the bag, that I thought I might drop as I went weak in the knees.

We may have a dog, but all she does is kill, she doesn't dispose of said victim...

Somebody call the exterminator! pleeease!
