Chasing away Chubby

Meet my ugly little friend. We met him today while we were on an impromtu excursion.  Luckily, I had my camera with me to capture him.  A baby snake…it gives me the heeby jeebies!

Today was awful.  I fought with BF all day.  And I mean fought.  We hadn’t fought like this in years and all because I wouldn’t go to his house for lunch.  I am still stressed out about it.  Then I asked Mom to come over and we cleaned on the house.  It still needs alot of work, but we knocked a little bit of it out.  The laundry is a mountain though and it will take forever to get it caught up. 

To get away from BF we went on a road trip to the river.  It was pretty cool.  We met my “friend” up above.  DS2 saw him first and said “look, a water snake!”  I looked and was like…”ewww.”  So we poke at it with a stick so it will come out from under it’s rock, so I can take some pictures of it.  It is a baby and I am not sure what kind it is.  Then Devin walks down about 4 feet and he says “Look another one!”  So Ds3 and DD run to the snake.  When I was little if someone yelled snake, we ran the other way…but not my kids.  They aren’t afraid of anything. So after the second snake  I said “okay, it is time to go!”  I do not like snakes.  I am not scared of them, but they give me the willies.  The kids got mad.  “God Mom, your scared of a little snake!”  Nope, not scared.  I just think that if there are 2 baby snakes around, then there are probably more.  Plus, you never know when you are gonna see the Momma.  So we left.  It was an interesting excursion, none-the-less…and I got a really cool snake pic!

 Food was good, if a little too light. Because of all the drama.  I didn’t eat Dinner until 10 o’clock. So I went all day on 290 calories. 

 Tomorrow I plan on walking 5 miles.   I am shooting for 2 hours of workout tomorrow.  Well off to ice my darn spot on my leg. And to hit the sack.  I got tons to do tomorrow!
