SNAKE!

I was sitting at the computer yesterday, and then got up and walked by a basket in which my little one keeps her little animals and there was a black snake beside the basket! For a fraction of a second I thought it was one of the kids toys, you know, left over from when the boys were small, and then I realized it was the real thing!!!!
I screamed and jumped on the stairs and grabbed the phone (Meanwhile Mr. Snake headed away from me towards some boxes and things) and called the cave-man who suddenly turned into a knight in shining armour and came to rescue me!!!
I am not joking when I say that it took us atleast an hour to find the stupid reptile and all the time I was afraid of it being me who'd find him!!! I really didn't want to see him anymore, but I was also prepared to empty the whole house: There was no way I was going to share my home even for a moment!
Anyway... Mr Snake was taken outside very carefully and freed into the wild, and I was left with the whole living-room in a mess (more than usual). All the while Oliver, our cat, slept and did nothing to help, even though he has been known to bring live snakes home.

PS: I thought about posting a photo of a similar snake, but... no, I really don't like snakes...

PPS. This is the front door now... with a nice blocking system...=) No more open doors for me!
