OMG I know just how you feel. As a young kid I went berry picking with my grandma and all of a sudden she says "shhhhhhh, don't move". She reached down into the berry patch and came up with a snake and flung him into the air into the field. I thought I was going to wet my pants lol. I have been scared ever since.
Another time I asked my 8year old son to please get the rope I saw on the step. It looked like close line rope only fatter. All of a sudden he says to me " look mom the rope is moving" LOL. As I write about my country adventures I am laughing but I AM STILL AFRAID OF SNAKES!
