It's around 4:00 a.m. in the mornin'. You wake from a deep slumber because you have to go potty......Your in the bathroom with your jammies down and you've just sat down to potty ~ when outta the corner of your eye you see somethin' by the bathtub.......You look and low and behold it's one of those things you are deathly terrified of !!!!!!! It's a .......................... snake !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you do ? Well.........I stood on the potty with my jammies around my ankles and screamed and screamed as I watched the thing slitherin' round the floor.....Now this wasn't an itty bitty one either....It was at
least 2 foot long and how in the world did I walk past that thing when I went in the bathroom was beyond me ! Well I'm still yellin' and cryin' and finally one of the kids wakes up and screams what's wrong and I said helloooooooo Snakeeeeeeeeee Get your Dad !!!!! At this point I've lost track of time, I'm feelin' queasy, shakin' and wishin' my hero would come rescue me FAST !!!!! The snake is slitherin' towards the potty and I'm lettin' out louder yelps lol.......Finally the Hubbs comes in and says What do you want me to do ? Duhhhhhh get the nasty snakeeeeeeeee outta here !!!! So he says with what ? I'm like I don't care what just get it !!!!!! He tells me ~ just jump over it and get outta here......Now girlies let me remind you I'm standing on top of the potty with my jammies down round my ankles and he wants me to jump ???? And what if that thing gets me before I get out the door ???? Well when your in a panic your brain just doesn't think well ! Hubbs calmly says pull your jammies UP and JUMP !!!! It's behind the potty now......So I get my courage up and I pull 'em up and I jump like Michael Jordan doin' a slam dunk !!!!! I ran soooo fast outta' that bathroom and down the hallway I coulda' set a world record I tell ya' ! Hubbs got it out and that wasn't the end of the snakes in the house =0( About 2 weeks later during the day I went to use the rest room....let me back up a sec' I didn't go to the bathroom forever without someone checkin' it first.....Well it had been fine so I decide I'm a big girl I can do this. So I go alone I slowly open the door ~ floor looks clear. I see nothin' behind the potty, o.k. it's good I can go. I lift the potty lid and........................ OH MY GOSH !!!!!!! YEPP There's one IN THE POTTY !!!!! Hubbs is outside I go screamin' for him and he's like NOT AGAIN lol I said yepp IN THE POTTY !!!!! He goes in and it's dead and he get's it out. Then one mornin' I get up and Hubbs is standin' in the hallway lookin' in the laundry room and I said why are you just standin' there like that ? He says You might wanna' go on back to the bedroom.....I say why ? He says there is about a 6 foot black snake in there !!!!!!!!!! Well you don't have to tell me twice !!!! So he gets that one out....Thank God he isn't afraid of 'em ! We'd be outta' luck for sure. This story is leadin somewhere I promise lol......... Now my daughter isn't afraid of 'em either but that snake in the laundry room freaked her out cause it was HUGE ! Well we go to Menards cause I'm sealin' any nook and cranny in this house ! We buy a case of that fill and seal stuff and go to work. Weeks went by and things seemed to be gettin' back to normal. When my oldest son Josh woke up one mornin' he comes and gets his Dad and I see 'em talkin' in hushed tones. I'm wonderin' what's up ? So I ask and they say you don't wanna know. Well I instantly knew ! Yepp more snakes !!!!! And yes it was not one but a nest !
Josh found baby snakes on his bedroom floor. They were copperheads ! A week before that my baby Maggie Moo Moo outta the blue came crawling on her side and she was seizing and within 3 minutes she passed away. I had just had time to grab the phone to call the vet and she was gone. We believe that she was bitten by one of the snakes. We packed up the fur babies and clothing and headed to my cousins house. We stayed there for almost a month. I wouldn't set foot in here till I knew we had fixed EVERYTHING to where they wouldn't get in again. We replaced Josh's floor. We redid part of the roof. Hubbs trimmed limbs away incase they were gettin' in that way. We bought more fill and sill and they filled around anything and everything ! That was last year and a few nights ago I was lookin' up at the vent in our bedroom cause I saw somethin' hangin' there so I go get Hubbs and he says Now DON'T panic it was just a piece of snake skin....DON'T PANIC ?!?!?!?!?!
O.k. sureeee I won't panic lol We are movin' the bed cause the vent is on my side !!!! Sooooo as much as I'm ready for spring I'm dreadin' it too ! Hoping everything we did last year fixed it where there won't be anymore surprises ! I don't think my lil ol' heart could take another summer like that ! I have a terrible phobia of snakes. I can't see 'em on t.v. I can't see pics of 'em they just petrify me.....
