We've had the pleasure this past week to babysit a 14 month old for a family in our church. What a precious girl! She was alot of fun, but I have a new respect for mothers who have children and WORK! It was a job in itself to get her ready! But, we had a great time and I think Robert and I learned alot! : )
But the most exciting & scary time this week happened on Thursday. We had a little "visitor" in our house, A SNAKE! We took the baby for a walk and when we came back, I just pushed her stroller into the house with us. Well, low and behold, I looked down in the floor a few minutes later and there it was. I thought it was a leaf, but no, it was a very small snake! Scared me to death! Robert was just as shocked as I was and he quickly killed it and carried it out! I managed to convince myself that it must have just curled itself up in the stroller wheel and came right inside when I brought it in. On Friday, I bought 2 boxes of moth balls and now our house and yard stink to high heaven, but I hope it will remedy our snake issue!!!! : )
I've heard the moth ball remedy really works but I've never had reason to try it myself - thank goodness. The only good snake is a dead snake in my opinion.

ReplyDeleteI have also heard putting lime around the doorways will help keep them out, when they scoot across it, the lime burns their bellies. We tryed this at my Mom's house and have not found a snake inside since. She had several small moccasins last year in her home!
