Spider!
Hello! After a dreadful night I am thankfully still alive. Lol. When I was cleaning up and doing some laundry yesterday, I picked my sweatshirt up off the ground and a scary spider fell off of it. I panicked and couldnt kill it because it was scary so I put a jar over it and waited until Gregg got home. Sometimes in our old house he would come home and see several cups all over the floor. He knew what he had to do. I looked at it through the jar and realized that it probably was not a good spider. Gregg looked at it and told me it was a Brown Recluse spider. Those are the spiders that bite you and your flesh rots. SOOO...I was terrified. I wore shoes around the house all day and inspected my bed for a good 30 minutes before I would lay down in it. I fell asleep initially but that didnt last long. I had several bad dreams about the spider and everytime I woke up, I of course had to do an all out spider inspection. I wanted to turn on the lights but I figured that would wake Gregg up so instead I just shook the covers violently. He woke up. He didnt get much sleep last night. He was a little upset. I did spider checks all night long and then when it was almost time to wake up he got cold and realized our big comfortor had fallen on the floor. He decided to pick it up and put it back on the bed. I freaked out and threw the blanket back on the floor. After all, we did find that nasty spider on our bedroom floor! I couldnt take the chance that there would be one on the blanket. Gregg went to get the blanket again and I knocked it down. Eventually, I decided to get out of bed because he insisted on being warm. So from 4:30 this morning until 6:00 A.M. I just sat around and waited for him to wake up. Then I took that big blanket off the bed, did a spider check and fell asleep for several more hours. Poor Gregg.

With a brown recluse I would be just as paranoid. Hope you get better sleep tonight
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel....when we lived in Edmond, our house was full of scorpions.
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, I would probably react the same way you did. I hope you get a better night sleep.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. My husband knows not to bother me if he finds anything that crawls. I hate cockroachs and when I discovered one on the bedroom ceiling the other evening then he had to deal with it. I hid in the boys room until it was dealt with! Now every evening I have to check the ceiling prior to getting into bed, just in case.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you feel Heidi. Just last week I found a lion in my sheets. It was just so weird because I was petting it and sleeping against it all night long. I went to the kitchen and got a cup and put it over it to keep myself safe.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Daniel you are strange! Belle recently told us that her bug bites were from a lion:)
ReplyDeleteSecond, I would have hosed myself down with bug spray and then washed my sheets in it too:) YUCK!
