Survivor Woman.....

I AM NOT! You know how you watch those Survivorman/Man vs Wild shows and think. OK, what's the big deal or he's nuts. Well, I too watch those shows and I know that when you see him in the rain or filthy dirty or wet and col- we just don't get it. We are in the comfort of our home- not feeling the way he is about those things. With such an eventful week last week, Lauren and I got our survivorwomen experience. We headed out to the back where there are new dirt roads and trails to explore. We do this several times a week but we happened to find a new trail that we hadn't been down before. We were having a great time until we ran over a blue runner. I HATE SNAKES!!
This particular blue runner was about a foot away from me when we ran him out of the grass. I decided to make a hard right and ended up high centering our atv on some very old trenches. So here we are stuck in the woods-no cell phone and Lauren had no shoes. I tried to move our atv but was unsucessful so I began digging the dirt out from underneath while Lauren watched for the snake;) After about 30 minutes we gave up. It really stunk sitting there not knowing what to do which made me think of survivorman. I could walk out but I was thinking more of the snakes that I would surely step on if I went back the way we came. We sat for a while then decided that we should walk anyway. We were walking in the opposite direction when we saw "our boys" coming to "save" us. They had been looking for us for awhile but couldn't find us. Of course, they were able to push the atv out. Thank goodness for our boys!!!
