Creepy.Slithery.Slimy.Critter.

The other day Alexee came in the house SCREAMING that she saw a snake outside. I hate anything crawly, slithery, crittery, so I looked out the back door & didn't see anything, phew deep breath in. I told her, and I prayed it was true, that maybe she was seeing things, maybe it was a branch or something that "looked" like a snake. She insisited, no there IS a snake, so this time I opened the door, stepped out & sure enough there was a snake on Roxy's dog bed, not just a little gardener snake, nope I'm not that lucky, it was a BIG snake!!! She was flipping out, but my little Braiden wanted to go outside & get it, so I locked all the doors & called husband to come rescue us! He came & caught the snake & took it across the street to the desert & let it go. I guess that's what you get when you decide you don't want to be surrounded by neighbors so you build on a street with no other houses surrounded by the desert. You get creepy. crawly. slithery. slimy. crittery things. Maybe I need to move? You can see Alexee's big ole alligator tears, she did not like Mr. Snake, poor little girl!

  2. Holy crap- that is a huge snake! Thank goodness for husbands, although I think mine would have stayed locked in the house with me and we'd have to wait for the snake to leave on it's own.

  3. Ewww! Ewww! Ewww! I'm not overly scared of snakes (not like I am of spiders), but I don't think I would like to find one out back!

  5. Good thing we have wonderful husbands who do those kinds of things for us that we can't do! I hate snakes too! yuck! I had a yellow jacket in my house the other day and almost left and made my husband come home to kill it! But I took one big swat at it after much contemplation on what to do and killed it dead!
