Along Came a Spider

Monday night, Eric and I were about to sit down to watch "Valkyre" (or however you spell it). I went into the downstairs bathroom and sensed something there. I looked down in the corner and there was a fat, smooth spider! Yuuuck. I do hate them and am scared of them. I scream sometimes and always, unless they run away first, I kill them before they get to me later in my sleep. My brother, David, knowing I was afraid of spiders, would catch them and throw them at me!!! The horrors! One time in the middle of the night I awoke with a spider crawling on my arm! I slept the rest of the night in the family room. .... Anyway, I called Eric and he came and did his duty, which is to kill the vermin. He used a piece of trim to whack it and when he did, grape-juice-looking innards went all over, ewww. I have never seen this kind of spider before, but now we saw another one by the stairs, but that one was smart and hid from us. We'll get you my pretty, and your little offspring too.

If I ever found a spider in my bedroom, I refused to sleep in the room. You never know when the spider is going to get bold and crawl all over you!
My WORST nightmare would be to have humans (like your brothers) who are actually conspiring with the spiders!

Ooh, yuck!! I hate bugs of all kinds. Nashville taught me to be a ruthless bug killer (complete with a loud scream so that I wouldn't hear the roaches crunch when I murdered them) -- Vegas taught me about worse roaches and scorpions. Here? The same, just bigger. Thank goodness for my bug dude who sprays till all the nasty things die, die, die!!

Too funny! We watched Valkyrie last night. Pretty cool movie, although Tom Cruise is definitely getting old. How sad :-)

Funny. I have this image in my mind of you doing your "duty" while Eric is doing his "duty" - Haha! You make me laugh.

Your movie quote at the end reminded me of another... made me want to grab that spider by the neck and tell him to EAT THE COOKIE, MOTHER. EAT. THE. COOKIE.

This reminds me of once when I was in laredo, pregnant with Alice. I was going to the bathroom. The boys had just finished their baths and were in bed. I looked up at the ceiling and wondered "how on earth did they get a toy tarantula to stick to the celing." at the same time I"m screaming because I realized that we don't have a toy tarantula. Robert thought I was going into labor. when I quickly gestured to the evil thing, He grabbed the nearest weapon, a light saber. Surley that would work, after all it took of Luke's hand????? He was able to get it into a trash bag and release it in the wild. Of course I couldn't sleep. I imagined all of its babies being born in the attic or something and coming to look for food. Spiders' suck!

I can't stand spiders and would have this high pitched screech while I stood frozen in place,I'd have a panic attack. I have gotten better because the Momma bear comes out in me and I have to protect my kids, Ria is old enough to kill them for me now but I can kill them if I need to. They are saposta be good at keeping creepy other bugs out of you home.

I can almost hear your shrill cackle at the end of the vermin's death. (I'm getting a tingling heebie jeebie sensation as I type this.)
