Okay, I don't know what the deal is but I've had one too many run-ins with these gruesome little creatures in the last few days. Ugh! I'm getting a serious case of the Heebie Geebies just thinking about it. First, I was putting up our Halloween decorations when I pulled out a jack o lantern. I happened to nonchalantly glance inside and there is a big ole spider. At first I thought it was another decoration but upon closer inspection I slowly began to realize it was the real thing. A big ole dead arachnid. THE HORROR!! I scream, Mark comes running. Takes one look inside and calmly states "It's the male. You better be careful, the female could still be in the box -- ALIVE!" (Gee, thanks Hon, that's very reassuring.) Two days later I'm in the kitchen doing dishes. I had washed some pans by hand and set them out to dry. As I was putting them away I noticed what looked like a ball of dirt or something. I went to brush it off. And Oh, THE HORROR!!! This big ole monster spider un-balls itself and tries to crawl up my arm. The audacity! To curl up on my clean dishes and take a nap?! To say I screamed very loudly is an understatement. Kaylie comes running. Tells me that I'm being ridiculous, but then she gets a look at the BIG HUGE SPIDER. Thankfully she quickly did away with it for me. I was going to upload an image of an actual spider for this post, and let me tell ya, it was just too much. (I don't think I'll even be able to sleep tonight.) I just couldn't do it, after all this is a family blog. So lucky for you I uploaded something cute and friendly. AS IF!! I know that absolutely, with out a doubt I suffer from arachnophobia - an irrational fear of spiders. Well it seems pretty rationale to me, Bub!

I hate the nasty little bastards too! They terrify me! I know I have arachnophobia. No question about it! You should have seen Charlotte laying her legs in a huge web on our house 3 weeks ago. It was fowl and I get chills just thinking about it!
Robs, remember when you were putting your make up on and right as you were curling your eyelashes you claim that you had a run in with a "HOBO SPIDER." You were so terrified that pulled the eyelash curler back and ripped a large amount of eyelashes out!!!! Bet that felt good.
I hate spiders too. Maybe that's why all my kids have arachnophobia. I see one and I freeze and can't move. Dad gets so mad--he says "oh, for ---- sakes gloria, it's just a spider."
I'd rather come face to face with snake.
