Well, scratch that I was reading Twitter updates when Darryl came in and said, "Don't you have to get Nana to her appointment?"
So I jumped up and hollered for Hailey to come in and get her hair and teeth brushed and told Nana to get in the car. (It takes her a while to get anywhere these days) When I had Hailey done with hair and teeth she ran to the car and Uncle Darryl was helpful and put her in the car while I went back for phones, keys, notebook, iPod, and pen. As I reached for all of these things a lizard was climbing down the side of the door. The door was open and Molly was on her way in. She didn't see the lizard, but the lizard saw her and dove for the floor inside the house. It then proceeded to run under the table through my legs and into the hallway under one of Molly's toys. I tried to get it to go back to the door when Darryl came around the corner and scared it into the living room and under the coffee table. He was looking for something to catch it in when we think it disappeared under the couch. We were already running late so I left it up to Darryl to find the thing and irradicate it.
In the car
I decide to tell nana and Hailey that there is a lizard in the house. Nana doesn't have her hearing aides in since she is going to have her hair done, so I know I have to yell.
"There's a lizard in the house!"
No repsonse
"Can you hear me?"
Hailey: "What?"
"There's a lizard in the house!"
Nana turns her head my way.
Hailey: "What?"
"THERE'S...A...LIZARD...IN...THE...HOUSE!"
Nana looks as though she understands now.
Hailey: "Oh, you have to get it out"
Hailey rambles on for a few more lines about Uncle Darryl getting the lizard out of the house...
Nana: "Is that one of the dogs?"
Me: "WHAT?!" "NO, THERE'S A LIZARD IN THE HOUSE!"
Nana: "Oh, I didn't hear what you said"
Me: *&$%* *&$# (under my breath) "Why didn't you just say what?"
Anyway, that's a conversation just about every day...
I found the lizard today and shooed it outside.
I didn't tell anyone about it. Until now. :)
