The New Working Mom: SQUIRREL!!!!

My favorite movie is Christmas vacation. Isn't it hilarious when the squirrel falls down their chimney? That furry little animal busts out of the little doors, and runs onto the table knocking off all of the picture frames and vase of flowers. Leaving a destruction of rose petals, leaves, fur, and paper. Before finding its cozy spot under the little girls pillows. Oh, that's not National Lampoons Christmas Vacation. That happened in the Burton household tonight.

Boy, how the girls jumped when they their pillow started moving. They slowly pulled back the pillow and out jumped the squirrel. It chased the little girls through the house. All you can hear are screams through their sniffles and sobs. One of the girls screamed so loud it broke a blood vessel and blood came streaming out her nose. We finally locked the girls plus Baby E in the nursery while daddy and I chased it out. I was armed with a broom, C was armed with a sheet. Hey, it was all we could find. It ran behind the china cabinet...I beat it out. It ran under the chair...I beat it out. It finally came to rest up inside our couch. C strong man lifted the couch up and over towards the door. We finally called in the designated hitter. He stood beating the couch like a professional baseball player until the squirrel jumped down out of the couch and ran out the door, not before giving us the finger.
