Wake up call

Friday morning we arose at 3am to start getting ready for our trip.(we went to see our god daughter graduate from high school.) I told hubby that I would shower in the guest bath so we could get ready at the same time. I went to the bathroom and turned on the light like any normal person would do at that early hour.  I then about tinkled down my leg.  I spied a snake... yes I said snake, on the bath mat. The offending culprit was laying pretty as you please on the mat making himself home.  I quickly ran down the hall to get my hubby.  He then came to my rescue and killed the snake.  I stated to hubby no need for caffeine this morning. I had all the wake up I could handle.  It was a little grass snake but holy cow I sure could wake up other ways.
