ATTACKED ! ! ! !

THIS MORNING I WAS ALMOST ATTACKED BY A SCORPION ! ! !
WELL ALMOST,......
REALLY,

AS USUAL I WAS BAREFOOT, I KNOW, I KNOW,

ANYWAY, I WAS IN THE HOUSE, HEADING OUT TO GIVE OUR DOG HIS ALLERGY MEDICATION,
(YEAH, THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER POST)

OK,
SO I OPEN OUR BACK DOOR AND STARTED OUTSIDE,

LUCKILY I WAS LOOKING DOWN,
SEE I AM TRYING TO KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE,

WHEN TO MY HORROR I SEE THIS SCORPION RUN IN,
NO
HE CHARGED IN (RIGHT INTO THE HOUSE)

RIGHT TOWARDS ME,

AS I AM QUICKLY BACKING UP

AND OF COURSE MAKING HIGH PITCHED GIRLY SQUEALS,

UP GOES IT'S TAIL IN STRIKE MODE,
HE KEEPS CHARGING TOWARDS ME, RIGHT FOR MY FOOT,

I MANAGED TO STAY JUST OUT OF HIS STRIKE,
GEEZ, ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DOES HE HAVE RABBIES OR SOMETHING.

OK, NOW HE IS JUST STARTING TO TICK ME OFF,

HOW DARE HIM CHARGE INTO MY DOMAIN AND THREATEN ME,
OH NO, I DON'T THINK SO..... NOT GOING TO HAPPEN,

SO I BACKED MY SELF RIGHT UP TO THE PLACE WHERE MY SHOES WERE,

YEP, RIGHT THERE, NEAR THE BACK DOOR SO I CAN QUICKLY PUT THEM ON BEFORE GOING OUTSIDE.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE THINKING,
HEY DON'T SHAKE YOUR HEAD AT ME.

SO I REACH DOWN GRAB MY FLIP FLOP,
AGAIN ,
I GET IT,
EVEN HAD I PUT THOSE ON PRIOR TO GOING OUTSIDE THEY WOULD LEND LITTLE PROTECTION AGAINST SUCH AN ATTACK,
HEY,
I GET ENOUGH OF THAT FROM MY SWEET HUSBAND ABOUT WHY DON'T I WEAR REAL SHOES,
SO I DON'T NEED TO HEAR IT FROM YOU TOO.
I STILL DEFEND THAT FLIP FLOPS ARE REAL SHOES,
(AGAIN THATS FOR ANOTHER POST.....)

ANYWAY, WITH FLIP FLOP IN HAND,
AND NOW MAD AS HELL,
I WACK THAT SCORPION WITH ALL MY MIGHT.

SERIOUSLY,

I MEAN REALLY,
THAT SCORPION HAD A LOT OF

CHUTZPAH ! ! !
