What is IT??

I am sitting here at the computer uploading pictures from Aaron's dedication and birthday party yesterday and I am listening to IT. I woke up this morning around 6:30 hearing a weird noise. So, I did the obvious thing to do, wake Caleb up. After some investigating he determines that there is something (animal type) in the dryer vent, wall, ??? in the laundry room. So, I roll over and go back to sleep. Well, sporadically throughout this morning I hear IT at work. IT makes a loud scratching noise like IT has long claws. So, fearfully I open the door to the laundry room to figure out where IT is. My best assumption is IT is in the dryer. This is an assumption because I WILL NOT open the dryer to find IT, nor will I be around when Caleb gets the pleasure of freeing IT when he gets home. So for now I get to listen to IT claw inside my dryer, hoping and praying IT stays where it is and that IT doesn't die. I don't know what is worse...a live or dead IT in my dryer. So much for doing laundry today. If anyone want to come save IT...be my guest.
