What a morning
I was standing on my porch on the side of my house smoking a cigarette and talking to my mother when a darn SNAKE came into my driveway from the back edge of my house about 10 feet from the porch I’m standing on. I HATE snakes with a passion. My mother was laughing her rear off listening to me try and figure out how to get that darn thing away from my house. It was black with thin white circles around it about an inch apart all down it’s body. Mom said it was a king snake but all I know and all that mattered to me was it was a snake. Usually I run and scream like a little girl but I didn’t do that this time. Honestly, I was kinda jumping around and having sort of a hissy fit if you know what they are. They aren’t very pretty.
I decided I wanted it to go out of my yard and the only way to get it out was to run it out. I didn’t want to kill it (even though I think the only good snake is a dead one) since Mom said it was one that would eat mice and stuff like that and not harmful to me as long as I didn’t hurt myself trying to get away from it which I have done before when I saw a snake. Anyway, here I am with my phone in one hand talking to my mother and a pole that is about 8 feet long in the other hand trying to get the snake to go on across my driveway away from my house. The darn thing turned and started back towards me. I’m in my yard jumping around like a little girl telling my mother what’s going on while she’s laugh like some kind of nut at me.
Long story short, well I have no idea where the darn thing went because I finally got it out in my driveway enough to go get in my van and try to run over it. All the stupid thing had to do was go away and we both would have been happy but NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well I tried to run over it but don’t think I succeeded because it’s not in my driveway DEAD the way I wanted it to be and I think the stupid thing ended up going under my house because there’s a small chip out of the door that goes under my house close to where it was before I tried to run over it. Now I’m hoping and praying that it doesn’t end up finding someway to get into my house because I do like my house but if that snake gets in here, he can have my house. So how was your morning?
