OK that does it!

I live on a fairly large piece of property here...tree covered...what has the potential of being a beautiful garden...lovely place Sparky picked out.

In that type of environment you'll undoubtedly have some little creatures living with you. I don't mind the spiders in the bathroom - they're not the creepy looking ones. They look kinda like a smaller version of a daddy long legs. They take care of the moths and other random flying stuff. I didn't even mind when the boy spider in the corner mated with the girly spider under the sink and produced 20 or so little ones. They don't attack us, they stay in their corner and mind their own business...

occasionally I see a fuzzy little centipede looking thing scurry across the top of the window. He runs as soon as he sees me so I don't bother him too much.

I've affectionately named the geko Guido and scolded Sparky when he tried to catch Guido and let the dogs play with him.

See, I don't mind the creatures, who am I to kill them when they're not bothering me...

That theory might have been blown to smithereens (as my dad would say) this morning when I looked down on the kitchen floor and saw the scorpion. I have this intense hatred and complete fear of scorpions - has much to do with waking up as a girl in San Antonio and finding one on the bed with me...crawling on the walls in the hallway. They're just freaky looking creatures.

Now, I tried to remain calm...after all it was just the size of a nickel...no big deal right...breathe, it will be ok.

But if it's that small does that mean it's a baby and momma is around somewhere?? Merde!!
