Boring is Good......Sometimes

Well not a whole lot has been going on around here lately which I guess is good because boring in good sometimes. I will share an experience that I had the other day though. We do not have screens in our windows and we haven't found the ones to fit our windows so we have been using those slider screens. So the other day I went into my bed room and tied the curtain back and went to open the window and just about had a heart attack when I looked down and there was a preying mantis on the window seal. If it was a baby that would not have been so bad but this thing was huge. It was almost as long as my hand. I was a big baby and I called my husband and I really wanted him to offer to come home and get it out of the house but instead he told me how to get rid of it with out touching it which was still a little scary for me. But I did take a picture of it before pushing it out the window so here it is.

I am not usually scared of bugs but this one really freaked me out!! That is the most excitement that we have really had around here so there really isn't much to post about. I hope that everyone who reads this is well and keep the posts coming because it is really encouraging to hear form everyone.

It would have scard me also. I don't much like bugs, especially spiders. I called Jimmy and asked him to come home one day when I found this huge spider. He was already on his way home so that was nice.

whats really bad is if you look closely at the picture the bug is looking at you. I can do some bugs, but I don't think I could have handled that on.

Oh Jackie, it's just a bug!!! ha ha. Well, at least it wasn't a locust and you didn't choke on it! ha ha Hey, no kidding, mantis' are vicious little creatures. One time, mom heard me crying (I was a little bitty girl). When she saw why, it was a mantis and it had buried it's head in my foot. Not good!!! But, I'm okay now!! Kiss my babygirls for me. Hopefully the weather will be good enough to day we can go to the park this afternoon.
