Once in 8 years...

Just for the record, we have lived in this house 8 years (or will be in Sept) and I have never seen a snake in my house!  So, yesterday we came home from church and the girls went to take their normal afternoon naps, I was watching the Nascar race (again typical), and Chris and Carter were headed to Nana Flynts to mow.  Well, I heard Kennedy yelling for me from the bathroom, so I headed that way as she was probably needing help wiping.  When I got in there she said very calmly...there is a snake in the bathroom.  I said WHAT!!!! and thought she was kidding.  Kidding she was NOT!!!  There was a snake in the bathroom.  So many things start running through my head...where is Chris, I need my phone, is it poisonous, how on EARTH did it get in there?!?!?!  Many, many questions. 
 
None the less, I wiped Kennedy got her off the potty and told her to go back to her bed.  I did not take my eyes off of this snake, as it was not going anywhere else in my house.  I ran and got some tongs to kill the snake you see, and as I went down to get it, it slithered away behind the toilet...by this time Chris was on his way home, and I was just again waiting and watching making sure it didn't move. 
 
Creepy.....
 My hero came home and had his tools ready and waiting...
 Normally, I don't freak out with snakes, especially if they are outside in God's creation, but I do care if they are in my house and get creeped out then.  I did make Chris KILL this snake, it found its way in once I am sure it can do it again! 
Thank goodness Kennedy didn't freak out, I mean really it seemed more scared of us then she was of it.  She freaks out with dogs and cats, but not with snakes, I will NEVER understand that.
