I was getting ready for bed last night and crawling on the wall was a large brown spider. I killed it. Spiders get no mercy from me. I went to bed and about an hour later I got up to use the bathroom, (meanwhile Anton is downstairs watching T.V.). I came back into the bedroom and on the ceiling above our bed was another large brown spider. I killed it. By this time I was freaked out. I was afraid one would crawl into bed with me or drop from the ceiling onto me. I finally calmed myself down and thought to myself, "What are the odds that a third spider would show up?" I figured pretty low, wouldn't you think? Anton finally comes to bed and I woke up and told him about the spiders. I then turned on the light for him and he goes, "Look there is another one." At first I didn't believe him, but I looked to where he was pointing and sure enough there was another large brown spider. I killed it. By now I am freaking out. The only thing that calmed me before was the whole odds thing, but that flew out the window once the third spider was found. I assumed this huge influx of spiders was because it had been raining the past few days and they were all looking for a nice dry place to be. Anton and I said our prayers together and I asked Heavenly Father to make sure that the spiders would stay out of the bed. When I was finished Anton said, "Your prayer sounded like it was coming from a three year old." I laughed, but I figured better be safe than to have spiders in your bed.

Well... there was a huge cockroach crawling across the drapes in my room yesterday morning. To THINK that thing was in my room the entire time I was sleeping?!?!?!? FREAK ME OUT!
this made me laugh! and i would be equally freaked out. I'm super impressed with your bug killing abilities, I killed a fly with a fly swatter, but refused to pick up the dead body remains....i hate bugs.
Love, Ana
Dusty was reading this last night and told me that I was not allowed to read this post. Well of course now I had to read it. Gross, spiders are creepy. I refuse to kill them (I can't get that close to one!) so Dusty has to kill them all! He's a horrible spider-smasher (he always seems to miss or knock them off the wall), but he's the only one I have. This story really hits home because we always seem to have spiders on our bedroom walls at my parents. When I wake up at night with Isabella I always scan the room to check for spiders. Yuck!
There is no shame in sounding like a 3 year old when it comes to spiders. The other day, Tom cam home and found me standing on the couch hugging myself as a large brown spider crawled all over my newly folded laundry- I hate spiders...they think they own everything and I won't go near one- I just reach for the nearest bottle of 409 or hairspray. You are now my hero because I think I'd have to put my house on the market if I found 3- going to bed would be out of the question.
