Lizards, YUCK!

Just wanted to share with everyone that lately we have had lizards invading our house. It seems that they know that I do not like them, and they can sense it. For the past four days, I have had to get lizards out of our bathroom. Anyone that knows me, knows I hate bugs, lizards, anything creepy crawly, I have a phobia with bugs. When I see one I FREAK out, they give me the willies, it is like I feel them crawling on my skin, ew..... So, I have to take some type of object, whatever is near, to get them to go back out of the window in the bathroom. The whole time I am doing this the lizard is spitting at me or making some type of hissing sound. I am myself making some sounds because I am freaking out. Finally, I get them to go out side the window, and then I shut the window the rest of the night. I have been going through this the past three nights, so much fun.

Then, today I had Grayden in the bathtub, and I was in the shower. The bathtub is right next to the standing shower, it is all enclosed in a glass door. Anyway, Grayden wanted his basket of toys down from the ledge, so we got it down. I was in the middle of putting bath gel on the loofah when Grayden's little face froze. I looked over and saw this lizard leap out of the water onto the shower wall, well I SCREAMED. For crying out loud, give me a break with these lizards!!! So, I had to again find something handy to get it out of the shower. I was not a happy camper, nor was Grayden. He did not want to play with his toys anymore, or stay in the bathtub. He saw that the lizard came out of his toys and he really didn't understand what just happened. Except that Mommy screamed and was scared.

I can not help it, these creatures along with all the other creepy crawly ones scare me. I get all worked up and freaked out. Especially if I can not find them and they run off, there will be no sleeping that night until it is found. Brian thinks I am turning Grayden into a chicken, but to my defense I am a girl. Most girls do not like bugs. If Grayden is around me and there is a bug I try not to freak out, but I still do if the bug/lizard comes toward me. Point blank I do not like bugs, reptiles, anything that looks scary/gross.

So, over here there are lots of lizards, you go walking around the condo and they are all over. There are some pretty big ones too!! They make a mad dash to the tree's or condo walls before you can blink an eye. I keep our windows at night closed because I do not want a lizard crawling on me at night, or on the ceiling, to drop down on me. No sir, windows closed. If I had it my way no windows would be open now, because they are coming in all the time.

Ok, I have officially had it with the lizards, so I just walk down the hallway and there is one on the wall. So, I have to move the bookcase out and try to get it. It climbed to the top of the ceiling. Had to go get a tuperware and scoop it in it. I just released it back outside, probably only for it to find it's way back in. Ok, I think you get the point. Our condo is invaded with lizards!! Help!!!!
