OK, so I am not 100% sure, but I think I may have been stricken by salmonella via the tomato. I was in the shower yesterday when it hit me. I had a chicken sandwich with a tomato on it earlier in the day when I got sick. I looked up the symptoms, and I had ALL of them, and the timing was right. Headache, fever, nausea, etc.... After my initial attack, I felt well enough to go to the pool the next day. Well, the day after that was not so good. I think I am totally over it now, but I think the tomato may have been the culprit.
So, last night, our little family unit was walking into our apartment. Nathan, then Mac, then I was close behind with Eli. Then...it happened. A snake slithered right by Mac and me. It was so close to us, I don't know if it went in front or behind or through Mac's legs. He was so intrigued. Shocked but intrigued. I could see by his reaction and posture, he wanted to chase it. It was a little, black one, maybe a foot and a half long. But still....
So here is the tally so far: 2 snakes, 4 frogs, several dozen cockroaches and more lizards than I can count. That is more critters in 2 months than I EVER saw in Indiana. Mind you, we are getting ready to close on house that butts up to a horse farm. Think there are any slithery critters in there? Uh, yeah! Maybe even the poisonous kind. I had a realtor tell me last week, "Florida only has 5 poisonous types of snakes." Well whoop-ti-doo!!!! That is 5 too many for me. Creepy!
BTW, we close on the house TOMORROW, Wednesday. Movers come Thursday the 12th. I can NOT wait!.

Yeah to the house! Boo to the critters (well for you - the boys will love all the critters ;)
Eww! I would have been totally creeped out. So happy you guys are getting into your new house! Aplace to finally settle into! ;)
Weird about the salmanella. I just opened up MSN and that was the story on the front page. McDonald's and Walmart pulled their tomato stock.
Blech to the snake!
