You can bet I was out of those pants in less time than it takes to blink, so there I was, wearing sneakers and lacy undergarments, in front of my entire family, and jumping up and down on my pants screaming like a mad woman. Finding them in my house would probably end more dramatically. Thankfully the worst thing I get in my apartment is the occasional roach or silverfish.

I was especially thrilled to read about your dealings with scorpions as I had pretty much the exact same situation occur when I moved from the suburbs of Kansas City down to rural Georgia. No one told me there were freaking scorpions here. I couldn't believe it. Utterly terrifying. Anyway, I loved your post and thanks for sharing!

Anyway, agree. Scorpions are wicked vicious. so funny… i once wrote about scorpion assholes. not because i’m enamored with them or anything, but i AM enamored with PEEPS (yes, the bunny easter candy), and in a posting i may have mentioned a correlation between PEEPS and Scorpion assholes, which a friend of mine then commented that that would make a good band name (course you’d have to make both words proper nouns, which means it would read Scorpion Assholes).

I laughed so hard reading this, my kids stopped watching their video to laugh at me. I love God but I told him...scorpions aren't fair!! We don't stand a chance! We can't see 'em till they are too close, only the giant ones make any noise, and we can't get rid of 'em. What's up wit h that?!? Oh my goodness!!

I had a bagillion posts about the Texas creatures. We had a snake come in (just a grass one), a cat with babies, a opposum that wasn't so friendly try to hide in our kitchen, I've been stung (as well as my kids) by those scorpions and oh so much more. Have you met the June Bugs that attach themselves to your hair next to your ear and bzzzzzzz the whole time. Or the love bugs that make your non black car look black after driving through them? Wait till it rains really good one year - your entire house and around your house will become infested with Frogs. Oh yes, frogs!!!!
