In fact, I think my first snake-in-the-house encounter (and my post-experience internet research on "What in the world do you do when you find a snake in the house??!!) has really removed all fear. Also, more than 50% of the snakes in my laundry room have been found already caught in a sticky glue trap for mice. Oh, and let me say, if you have ever had a problem with mice, mice really seem like no big deal when you get a snake problem.
Hopefully, when I switch my darks over to the dryer, I will find the snake that got away from my husband earlier today, nicely stuck in the glue trap specifically made for snakes, mice, scorpions, and other common household pests. I hope scorpions aren't common here. I wish snakes weren't, but I hope he likes corn chips, because that is what the trap smells like. I thought my husband was eating some in the laundry room.
Perhaps if I would have seen any of the snakes before they were caught I would be more afraid. My five-year-old told us today that he a saw a snake in the laundry room. He was calm and actually smiling, and it took my husband a moment to realize he wasn't joking. He is after all a boy, so I suppose snakes are not a big deal to him. (At least not in our house!) He did later say that the snake startled him; I'm glad to know that he handled it so well.
When I started this blog I envisioned cute little posts of my children saying funny things like my two-year-old does. But it doesn't seem to be turning out that way. Probably because when life is good and my boys are rolling out there funny lines, I am busy doing the laundry instead of stalling in my room.
Not because I am afraid of the snakes -- I'm just not in the mood for them.
