'Possom Control?

So, I am sad to say that on our way home from my in-laws (that's very strange to say....ha) last night, we hit an opossum in the middle of the road!!! ACK! Oh my it was awful. All I could think was, what in the world were you thinking, hanging out in the middle of the road like that?? Also, it saw us coming and waited until the last minute to turn around right into our back tire. *tear* Poor thing. N looks at me and for the next mile and a half tries to console my breaking heart, until we make the big turn in the road and he says, "Well, at least we were doing our part for possom control." *gasp*
