Raccoons and ladybugs, oh my!

I came home from work at 3am this morning to find two of these in my driveway:

They scurried underneath my husband's car. I was petrified! I started honking the horn and flashing my lights at them to try to scare them off. (My neighbors probably thought I was crazy). I sat in my car for a good ten minutes trying to decide the safest way to get in the house. Of course, I had forgotten my cell phone inside so I couldn't call Mike to rescue me. To make matters worse, I had just swung through the Burger King drive-through and had breakfast sandwich in my purse. All I could think about was getting mauled by two 'coons over a measly sausage biscuit. Needless to say, I made it safely inside. Then I made a dumb move by letting Darrell outside - he got in a huge fight with these monsters. You should hear the noise a raccoon makes when it's getting attacked by a Jack Russell (I'll have nightmares for weeks). Thankfully Darrell was not injured. He's my little guard dog for sure!

Since I'm on the topic of scary animals...

LADYBUG!
How disgusting! I cannot stand these little creatures. I couldn't even put a picture of a real ladybug on my website because it made me squirm. YUCK! I have to end this blog now because I'm getting nauseated.
