Sound Sleeper and Snake

Story #1

This morning I locked myself out and didn't have my car keys to get to work. James was inside asleep, but he is such a sound sleeper it took a solid 15 minutes of yelling, ringing the doorbell, banging on the door, throwing the dustpan at the bedroom window, and finally jumping up to hit the bedroom window with the broom. Grrrrrrrr . . . I finally made enough noise that he stumbled down to let me in. I think it's time to stash a key somewhere.

Story #2

Yesterday when I got home from work I was greeted at the gate by a snake. YUCK!! It was black and yellow and staring me down. It was only about 6-8 inches, but it totally creeped me out. After I weighed the possibilities of how to kill it, I carefully went in the house to get keys to the shed for supplies. James was already awake though, so I enlisted his help in "killing" the snake. I didn't realize, though, that boys from Box Elder County think it's sinful to kill snakes. To solve the problem, he scooted the snake about 3 whole feet away. Thanks James. I really appreciate it. I have now duct taped around the inside of our door.

Good stories. SOrry about the snake. I would have FREAKED out! But, I wouldn't have been brave enough to kill it either.

I've never locked myself out of the house or my car (knock on wood).

Maybe July is a cursed month for everyone.

To my defense that I am the cause of the breakdown that Haley is having.

Whatever!!!! The snake is here because there is food. When the food goes away then the snake will also.

I will admit that I am a very sound sleeper. If we put a key outside the door why would we lock it?

just some thoughts.

Don't post on your blog where you stash your key. Maybe you shouldn't have mentioned it at all.

Oops. Nevermind. We didn't stash a key. No key stashed anywhere. Too big of a security risk. Thanks for the advice Jodi. ;)
