Raccoons and Tree Limbs!

Here's the latest drama! About a week ago, our neighbor noticed that a raccoon was living above the kids' playset. So in order to get her out of the branch in that tree, we called a trapper. $300 later he sprayed some male raccoon scent in the hole and around the tree to get her to leave the nest! YIKES! We haven't seen her since, so we are hoping she relocated.

So now we have to remove the tree limbs in order to make sure someone ELSE does not move in! $700 because of the height and location of the branches! HOLY SH&T! (pardon my French folks) So $1000 later and we don't even have new cabinets in the kitchen. :-(

On a happier note, Spring Break started yesterday, and despite the fact that I finally came down with the kids' stomach bug, today I am better and it is a beautiful sunny day! And I did get paid for the long term sub work I did in 1st grade too! Thank God since we needed it to take care of our raccoon and tree limbs! LOL

I am really glad you got paid for that work! You deserve it!

Sorry that darn raccoon sabotaged your hopes for new kitchen cabinets. And 'male raccoon scent'....ewwwww!
