Welcome to Texas!

So I went to make Mia lunch this afternoon and notice something move on the floor. To my complete horror there was a nice big scorpion in between my feet. YIKES!!! So let out a nice loud shriek and tried to keep the dog and Mia from investigating what it was. I grabbed a shoe and did what any other freaked out mom would do. I whacked it! I don't think I have ever seen a scorpion in person before and don't really care to again. Somehow I think that is wishful thinking on my part!
