I'm such a girl...

Okay so I had a loooong day of shopping for back to school stuff with my BFF Saturday and got in later than usual. He was such a gentleman and followed me home since it was dark outside. I parked my car and had him drive me to my door since it was raining; I refused to get my hair wet. We pull up in the parking lot and guess who's waiting for us???

Baaaaaby... let me tell you I had a FIT! Uber terrified, I refused to get out of the car. I called my "Comforter", who is out of state, as if he could come and rescue me from this horrific scene. It was the WORST! These huge evil raccoons were climbing out of the dumpster and ran under a car that of course is parked directly in front of my door. It's like pitch black outside and raining, I have to pee like never before, I have to carry about 6 bags and a stupid ottoman and somehow get in the door without these monsters attacking me! I had on Flip Flops... they were right at ankle height... It was all way too convenient!

I don't understand where these little nasty greedy monsters came from. There are no woods near us. I live in the most un-raccoon-like area ever. Uuuugh... Beat It!

Then I'm texting some other friends to see who can offer a solution to this emergency that I am experiencing and one of my friends replied "Awww Raccoons are so cute. Just like a cat. Don't be scared" All I could do is shake my head and roll my eyes when I read such nonsense!

I ask you today... Is this the face of a cute precious little cat-like animal???

I had to reply and ask her what kind of freakish devil cats did she grow up with?!?!?!!!

So...I asked my BFF to honk his horn, to see if they would run back into the dumpster. At least that would let me know exactly where they were. No luck. They weren't the least bit affected by the noise. I sat in his car a good 15 minutes contemplating my next move while the raccoons moved back and forth between the dumpster and the parked car. Just dumb and greedy!!! I was so scared that I considered having him drive me to my mother's house to stay the night.

Finally we just decided to be brave and go for it. I, of course, asked him to carry all of the heavier items in first... give me the go-ahead to follow and then I would make my way out of the car. LOL. But not until he offered a FULL, Touch and Agree, Get all Into it kind of prayer to God asking for safety and declaring that we would not be attacked! In the end I made it in the house safely and then looked out of my window for the next half hour to see if I saw them again. My adrenalin was on 1000!!! I couldn't sleep and my heart was racing. After an hour or so I was able to unwind... so all was well.

I STILL feel like Nature owes me an apology and darnit I'm waiting!
