I'm terrified of bees, worms (more like really grossed out),scorpions, and most of all spiders! Spiders are small hairy balls walking around on 8 legs!They also shoot out string and can swing around building from building and trap people in massive webs!.. okay wrong spider. But I'm used to being around 2-4 legged creatures! I have been grossed out by these creeps ever since I was young and watched the kid friendly Charlotte's Web. So Yesterday as I was doing laundry, I spotted the sickest spider on our ceiling! I have never seen anything like it, well not under the same roof.
After realizing that I was the only one around to kill the beast (Zach was at school, and Jonah was asleep, not that he could really help) I wanted to try the most resistant way to kill the monster. I decided to get the broom and smack the ceiling as hard as I could hoping that it would kill him rather than just knock him to the ground! Well that didn't exactly work out the way I hoped. The broom was back on the left side of our fridge and my arms, nor a coat hanger was long enough to reach.
Plan B. I grabbed the biggest, longest cup we had,a big gulp cup from seven eleven. I poured just a little bleach counter spray into the bottom and trapped the hideous spider in the cup. It actually worked! I finally killed it!!! I was so poud of myself I took pictures and even saved the cup to show my husband.

I hope you threw away that cup!
We actually filmed a spider we caught the other day because we couldn't find the camera. We'd put the kids in bed and were just sitting there when I looked over and walking across our living room floor was seriously the biggest spider I'd ever seen that wasn't a tarantula or in a museum. AND, I'm not allowed to flush them anymore, my favorite way to kill a spider. 1) because I heard they can hold their breath for a long time, so I'm afraid they'll crawl back out of the toilet. 2) My son has informed me that he doesn't want to poop in the potty - our potty training hold up- because we flush bugs down it. I may have to try your bleach in a cup method.
post something new!!! I wanna see pics of Jonah... and your newly remodeled living room :)
