Noises in the night...

So, this week I was a little on the sleepy side.  Halloween night and all events leading up to that night had me worn down.   On this particular night, I went to the couch during the night to sleep because Chloe Jo was in our bed...she puts her feet on me and digs in her toenails...long story short...I cannot deal with it so I decided rather than put her back in her bed...I would just go to the couch. 

I was sleeping so peaceful until a noise outside woke me up.  I sat straight up on the couch knowing that someone was outside in my car.  I quietly went to the bedroom to get David, my heart was literally pounding out of my chest.  It seemed as though it took him 20 minutes to get outside to take a look.  I was rushing him and irritated as I was telling him that by the time he got out there whoever it was would be gone with the goods.  I thought maybe I had forgotten to lock my car doors.

Finally, he opened the door to see what all the ruckus was...literally a 25 pound raccoon was in the carport storage room.  He had managed to get himself under the hot water heater and was laid out to rest for the night. 

It didn't take  much to get him out...just the sound of David putting out more cat food did the trick.   Our cats were going crazy.  I was going crazy...because I just needed more sleep.  I was relieved it was only a raccoon. 

With all of this, we solved the mystery of who was eating up all the cat food.  That thing was healthy...and chances are had been staying in our carport every night.  ha 

Hoping for a great night of sleep...tonight we fall back, right?  haha  Good night, friends.
