the incident with the spider(s)

Because Johnny and I are only visiting, we've been staying at my mom's house on a mattress in the basement family room. Beggars can't be choosy. Anyway, the other night at around midnight I saw something crawling on the sheets next to me. I ran to turn on the lights and my sneaky suspicion that it was a creepy crawler was confirmed. There was a HUGE ugly spider sitting in the middle of our bed (girls exaggerate about the size of bugs, but Johnny will back me up, it was huge). I scream for Johnny to kill it so he grabs a pillow to smack it with, and when he hits it, hundreds of baby spiders explode across our bed!!! The horrors, the horrors! It was a nightmare come true. It took ten minutes to vacuum up the spiders plus the baby momma. Let's just say I slept in my mom's bed that night.

But the story gets better.

The next morning I go to make the bed so I shake out the blanket and hundreds more baby spiders go flying!!! This has to be a nightmare, but low and behold, I'm awake and baby momma number 2 is trying to make her escape! At this point I'm hysterical (and so glad I slept upstairs). We've since vacuumed and are in the process of spraying the basement but I think I'm permanently traumatized. Can you blame me?!

  3. Time to call the exterminator! That is horrible. There's probably a colony of them in your mom's basement somewhere. I always have spider dreams and now thanks to you I will probably have exploding momma spider dreams.
