Last night after I put Alayna in her bed, I was walking into our kitchen and this is what I saw....
I first screamed "David, there is a snake in the house!!" He is used to me yelling about crickets in the house all the time, just yesterday a cricket got washed with my towels. He was still alive. So the snake is a new critter to have in our house. How could it have gotten in? Well David got a stick and cornered the snake. I remembered that members of our ward have snakes. So I called (after taking some pictures). The brother was more than happy to come over and take the snake. David thought that it might be a rattlesnake because of how it was moving its tail, but we learned that it was a harmless king snake. Not so harmless to me to see something slither across the floor in the dark. I don't mind the lizards and frog in out backyard, but the thought of snakes in the house is too much. All night when I had to get up to go the the bathroom ( a few times at six months pregnant) I thought about snakes crawling on the floor. I don't feel safe in my house.
