Sad Froggy


Just this last week I took Ryder and flew to Utah for a few days to spend some time with my family and introduce the little guy to where I grew up. I just love my home. Anyhow, after a very busy day of traveling back to a very rainy Seattle, Ryder and I finally rolled in around seven. Not wanting to have to deal with unpacking in the morning, I forced my very tired self to unpack right then. Well, during this process I noticed something on the floor....

It is at this point, I need to explain something: You know how when it rains, worms appear out of nowhere? After it rains, there are all of a sudden tons of worms on the pavement! Well, here in the wet Northwest, not only do worms appear, but so do frogs, slugs and mini-lizards.

....I walked closer to it and as I did so, it jumped. I had a mini-frog hopping around in my living room! It hopped right into a corner where my slightly scared of mini-frogs self let it stay while I thought, I'll come back and get it later since I have about five things in my hand, one of which was a baby. Unfortunately, in my tired state I went to bed and forgot about the frog. It wasn't until the next morning it dawned on me that I had a froggy somewhere in my living room. I went to it's corner--not there-- I looked around and he was nowhere to be found. The more unfortunate thing is I know he didn't get out and I know he can't survive without water, so yes, my friends...I have a dead little frog somewhere in my living room.

  1. Or maybe it made it into the bed between the sheets before it croaked (Pun fully intended).

  2. I'm sure you'll find it eventually. Smell is a very powerful sense.

  3. I think this story is hilarious! Thanks for sharing. I'm so sorry that would totally freak me out. I hate weird animal happenings.

  5. Jasmine! I think it's the ground floor curse because this happens to me a LOT! They actually don't get in but they do like to hang out at my door. Frogs, lizards, weird inchworm type bugs. I always wish I had one of the Primary boys nearby when I come home so they could just move them. Instead I find a broom and poke them and hopefully don't kill them but I just don't want them in my house!! ICK! I really should have a blog...
