Uninterrupted Sleep

Oh, what I would give for a full good nights sleep right now! I'm fed up of being woken in the middle of the night or at 5:30am in the morning. The walls in my parents house may as well be paper. Any noise seems to be louder in our room then whereever it is coming from. For 7 long months I have been woken at 5:30am to my mother calling out for the cats, banging around in the kitchen and switching the morning news on and for 7 long months I have awoken at about 1am-2am by my little brother who has the room next to us, yelling at his computer or singing to songs.

Seven long months I have gritted my teeth and dealt with it. But now for the last two nights what has been keeping me awake is not my family and I will not lie back and deal with it. Somehow a rat or mouse has taken up residence in the roof and thinks the perfect time to do its housework is in the middle of the night while the rest of us sleep. No amount of banging on the roof seems to deter this little fella. So today I am on a mission to buy every rat poison and mouse traps in the store so I can have one night of blissful sleep. Sorry little fella, but I need my sleep.
