Lizard in my Closet

One thing that will give me the  Hemmie Jemmie's are bugs, mice, and lizards.

The other night I went into my closet to get ready for bed and thought I would just wear some of my sweats.  Now understand, I sleep downstairs now, due to my mother-in-law needing to make sure that I am close at hand during the night.  So I have let my fancy night clothes stay where they are and reach for something that will give me warmth.  Seeing that the temperature drops downstairs at 9 pm.  This due to my darling husband.

So anyway, as I was reaching for my pink sweats, I noticed something jump onto the curtains hanging at the closet entrance.  As I looked over, a small lizard was hanging on.  Uck!  What was I going to do, the girls were not home yet and I absolutely did not want to touch it.  I didn't want to go out to the kitchen and get a jar, so I looked around and behold, the girls had left a large plastic glass in my bathroom.  So I grab the glass and find a dvd case ( I have a large tub and when I have the time, I enjoy watching a dvd).  I very gingerly place the glass over the lizard and slide the case over the top.

Captured

I take it to the living room, because I know that I need to take a picture.  I got brave and took the case off, because the lizard seemed dazed and was not trying to climb out.  After a few pictures, I place the case back on, because now he is alert and starting to climb the sides.  As I open the door, he really starts climbing to the top.  I get nervous at this point and drop the glass (thankfully it was plastic), he jumps out and then my dog, Captain Knuckles starts to bark.  I scream and I am sure that my hubby is wondering what is going on.  No, he doesn't even open the bedroom door.  What would he have done if someone was trying to take me. I guess he would have been less one wife!

Outside, where he belongs

Trust me, when I went back in to get my clothes on, (I still had on my jeans and shirt) I shook my sweats out and checked out the legs.  Trust me, if I had been sitting in my rocker reading and felt something crawling up my leg, the whole house would have have known it!
