The Slugs...

Okay so the title of this may be crazy but let me tell you a story... For some reason or another we have a leak under our kitchen sink that Kyle has decided not to fix yet. It has gradually gotten worse and now the floor is sinking, not just under the sink but around it too. A couple of nights ago Kyle went in the kitchen and stepped on a Slug. Now, you may be thinking, a slug in the kitchen??? But we live in the country so anything is possible! He was barefooted so I laughed and laughed because he was so grossed out! It was funny. Well, the slug oozed this greenish yellowish gunk out on the floor. This slug was not a little one at all. It had to be at least 3 inches long and 1 inch wide! But, where there are big slugs there are also little slugs! Yep, there were at least 6 other slugs too. They were varying sizes. Where in the world did they get in, that is what I was wondering! Well we think they came in via a hole or something. They like the wet, damp environment. I can just imagine it now, the slugs having a conversation..."okay guys, I am hungry, why don't we go into the Atwell kitchen and see what kind of snack we can get off the floor because ya know, Kyle is pretty messy when he cooks." So they come in to the kitchen and help me pay Kyle back for being messy! Ha Ha Ha! If only that had happened. Well, I got a little pay back for laughing at him! The slugs decided to pay me back for putting them in harms way! Kyle was on a hunting trip last weekend and on Sunday evening after the lights in the kitchen had been out for awhile (mind you slugs like the dark)...Yep, you guessed it...I stepped on a big fat one too!!! All I can say without throwing up is... YUCK!!!!!!!!!! It was gross! I actually had to wipe the floor up where the slug was because it left a greenish yellowish trail for me! Man, it is a good thing the girls and I are going away for a little trip. Kyle is now going to fix the floor and the leak while we are gone! Hopefully that is the last of the slugs........ And another part is that my girls know that slugs hate salt. They wanted to salt the slugs WHILE they were in the kitchen. Yep, I had to turn them down on that one!
