5am!!!

It sounds like a man is in my attic dragging something heavy.

But I know it’s not a man because there is not enough space above my bedroom ceiling for that. What could it be?!?! I’m freaked out! I’m half asleep. No where to go because it’s 5am. This goes on for about 1 1/2 hours is the wee hours of Thursday morning. I’m late for work because I finally did fall asleep but then I over slept because I was so tired.

Same thing Friday at 5am. Thankfully it only lasted about 10 minutes this time and they were not very loud.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to get them out myself so I don’t have to pay the pest man $325 - ouch! I’m going to surveillance them tonight – like a spy. I need to figure out if the babies come out with the momma at night or if the momma comes out alone.

I think I can throw moth balls in their space to get them to leave – or so says a website I was reading.

The scariest part about the whole thing is that if I had not had the office door closed and the living room doors taped over, the raccoon could have actually gotten to where I was and jumped me in the bed while I was sleep! Oh crap! Now I just realized they could come down the open space it the kitchen where the stove vent hood is missing. I’ll get my dad to board that up first thing night!
