Only Me

I can have drama when I don't want drama. Dang.

 

When we got home from work today, hubby said he was going to weed eat, so I decided I would surprise him and water everything, and wash off the deck steps. As I was washing the steps, my dog, 'Gypsy', started barking like hell. I looked up to see two people getting out of a car. One of them had a small leather case, and the lady was just all smiles. Still holding the water hose, I walked toward them. They explained that they were Jehovah Witnesses,etc They come to our home about once every three months. My dog was not happy, and I was prepared to do what I always do. I just give them a little bit of money for the pamphlets, and they leave. I stood there as they got out of the car, and all of a sudden my feet were burning like hell. Fire ants!. I moved away from the deck so I would not leave a puddle there and started spraying my feet. Glancing at the ground, I saw a snake. Needless to say, everything went crazy. I threw the hose down, it kept spraying(the visitors), and started screaming for my dog. She ran toward me. Hubby ran around the house, pistol in hand expecting the snake, but when he saw the people, he aimed at them and told them to get the hell away from his property. They ran to their car like the devil was after them. The dog and I sat on the deck steps, breathing like hell, and the hubby was ready to shoot someone. He turned around and said, "What did they do?". Of course, I said nothing, and pointed at the small rattlesnake still laying in the gravel and it was probably laughing at the whole escapade. He just looked at me like, "you". Then he got the shovel, threw the snake over the fence and told me that that I would never be bothered with those guys again. True story guys. I just fall into shit without trying.

Am I allowed to laugh or are you traumatize?  Because honestly, I think it's a funny story and how cool is your pistol packing man?  God love him for protecting his family. :fight:  

 

I hope you're feet are okay.  

 

And now a prayer. 

 

Lord I thank thee for not smiting us with fire ants and rattlers, but please keep them away from JoAnn or else her husband may end up in jail.  Amen.

He is in the woods all the time Andy and actually carries it for snakes and whatever is on this thousand acres and lake.  We have moccasins galore.  That is why he carries it at all times.  When he heard me hollering at Gypsy 'my dog", he knew something bad was happening.  She is my heart. lol

Sometimes, I hate to say it is a true story, but if you ever came to visit, my hubby can entertain for hours about me.  But he loves me regardless KC. lol

Well, let me do the inappropriate laughing thing first... ha ha ha haha hahahaha... okay :D

Hope the JW people take the hint & never come back. IDK which denomination you follow, but the door-to-door evangelism really irks me beyond anything. 

But, if you see it, whole thing is very biblical you see, the snake, the garden, the woman, the burning pain... very retro. ;)

 

 

As always totally fawning over Hubby, I mean that man was ready to KILL for you. *sigh* That's so romantic in a knight in shining armor way. Remember to reward him, my Lady. ;)

 

Anyways, glad you are okay. Poor rattlesnakie, he was just being affectionate... that's all. Seems something KC would enjoy. *hint hint for next prompt*

Hugs and Chocolates.

Jo,

So sorry to hear you were attacked by ants, had a rattle snake visit, and then had to deal with a swarm (okay two) JW, and had to have hubby come riding into the rescue. Sounds like a typical day to me or for someone with my type of luck.  Just hang in there, things have to get better.  :hug:

 

Asam,

No I don't plan to make this a prompt. Jo's been through enough. :lol:
