Today in 1812, the women from Cochabamba, Bolivia, fight against the Spanish army in the Battle of La Coronilla. Today is also Mother's Day in Bolivia. I don't think I would ever talk back to my mother if I was Bolivian...

I had the skeeviest moment this morning, and I still have the shivers now. We were headed to the car to leave for school when the Beetle called me over to his side to look at something on the driveway. At first, I thought it was a slug with lots of waving tentacles all over itself. Then I bent to look closer. It was a colony of hundreds of tiny worms, all moving together across the driveway. It was so incredibly disgusting! I admit, I rolled over the mass of worms with my car tire, and went on to school with the total shivers. I searched the net but I couldn't find anything like what I'd seen. I even called the Farmer's Exchange and described it to the very patient man on the phone, but he was sure they were earthworms and I'm just...not.

So I remain skeeved. If there's another of them in the morning, I may have to go back in the house and never leave again. Nature is too much for me.

wow. If I ever need a monster, that's a really good one. I just have to make it a little bigger....

I'd probably faint dead away. Oh God, and then they'd eat me!

I am so not sleeping tonight. *grin*

I hate worms by themselves. the idea of a whole crazy ball of them is just disgusting.

Seriously, I kept having this thought that I'd get home and they'd be all over my driveway, and I wouldn't be able to get out of the car for stepping on them.

*shudder*

Did you make sure they didn't crawl up into the car?

[madkestrel.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I can't drive home. *grin*

Are you sure it wasn't one of the seven signs? I mean, there's no reason the apocalypse couldn't start in your driveway. Maybe you should call a priest.

It could very well have been - so far no one seems to know what on earth we saw, so it might have been...not of this earth.

The world is ending! *runs around flailing her arms*

That's grosser than gross. I'm skeeving out, too, just thinking about it.

We went out for pasta last night, and right in the middle of dinner my child decided to tell everyone about the wormy creature.

Bleh.

EWWWWWWW << thats from both me and Chelsea.. ugh..
Chelsea wants to know if it looked like gillyweed (and then asked if you would know what she was talking about, I replied my beautiful friend is smart and a librarian and yes she will know!)

but yeah that would creep me out and make me want to hide in a really safe, worm free place... *shudder*
{{{hugs}}

Alas, no, I don't think it looked like a gillyweed (absolutely I knew what that was! *smile*)

So far it (they!) have not shown up again. And yes, I did check my driveway yesterday morning before I went to school, to my husband's great amusement. I'm hoping it was a singular mutant that will be selected right back out of existence again.
