It was Horrible!

Here I was just trying to run the daily race, get off work, rush to pick Zach up from school, go home and let him change, run him back to the ball field, run back home, do some chores, hurry back to the field so that I can work concession stand and watch a ballgame. My mind was racing about all that need to be done. So, now I have just got home from work and was on my way in the house when I saw it. There it was with it's beady little eyes and long forked tongue. It was looking at me. I was moving. It was in the bush next to the house. I froze. I didn't know what to do. It just sat there looking at me. What to do? I took off and ran into the house. Finally, I was safe inside my house. I looked back out the door. Yes, it was still there. It was still looking at me.

It was a SNAKE!!!

I immediately called my husband. He was at football practice. I told him he need to come home. He wanted to know why. I told him it was an emergency. He asked what kind of emergency. I told him there was a snake at the door. He said "What?" I said, well not exactly at the door, but in the bush by the door. He asked how big it was. I relied that it was TOO big. I told him he need to come home at take it away. He said he couldn't leave football practice to come and move a tiny snake. I told him if he loved me he would. He said that he did love me but he was coaching and I would be fine. He told me it would go away.

I finished my chores and was ready to go to the ball game. I peaked out the door and HE (the snake) was still there. What was I going to do? I was being held hostage in my own home. Well, I had made a commitment to the ball team. I had to work the concession stand. I had to get out that door. I had a little talk with myself. You can do it. You can do it. I opened the door and out I went. I ran so fast. I am sure if the neighbors were watching they were wondering what I was doing. I am sure no one has ever witnessed me move that fast. I was outside and in my car in a flash. I made it.

I went to the game, worked concession stand and after the game, Zach had to practice with the JV team. My husband, being the nice man he is told me to go home and he would wait for Zach. I said, "NO WAY". He (the snake) will be waiting for me. Steve informed me it was dark and cooler out so the snake would have gone by now. I wasn't sure he was telling the truth but I really wanted to get home. So I drove home. As I got out of the car, I looked down to make sure he (the snake) hadn't slithered out to the drive way waiting for me. He (the snake) wasn't there. So I inched my way up the sidewalk and on to the porch. I looked at the bush and he wasn't there. I might have saw him down inside the bush now, but I didn't wait for him to pop out on me. I quickly ran inside. Safe once again.
