Cody and I Just moved into a basement apartment in Provo and there are plenty of bugs! At first it didn't bother me but then they started messing with me. The first time I came face to face with a spider i was in the shower! I felt like crying every time i had to close my eyes to wash some kind of soap out of my hair or off my face I was terrified that it would somehow get me while my eyes were closed and then it happened, I closed my eyes and it disappeared. I was so creeped out I finished my shower in record time. Later that night while on the TOILET of all places it reappeared. This time however I decided that I was going to do something I hadn't done in years....I was going to kill a spider. Feeling a rush of bravery I removed my shoe and with all the force I could muster I whacked the spider, it then flew off of the the shower curtain landed safely on the ground and crawled away. How that it lived is beyond me.
The next day however I found another spider and thought " This is the time to redeem myself. I WILL KILL THIS SPIDER!" Removing my shoe I bent down and whacked the crap out of the stupid thing..... It to crawled away. The day after that while standing in the kitchen feeding the baby a spider the size of a quarter CHASED ME onto the couch! After that I decided that I was done dealing with spiders so that night when cooking dinner and another spider appeared I asked my sweet husband,(who was laying on the couch) " Sweetie,I'm cooking dinner and there is a really scary spider, will you kill it? His reply... " Kill it yourself." and then he rolled over. Upon his waking up he was confused to find me somewhat upset. He had no idea that I had asked him any thing or that he had responded.
Living here is already a crazy adventure and I'm sure it will only get crazier and crazier but it is our very own adventure and we are loving it!
Super funny.... miss and love you guys!
ReplyDeleteLoved it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so funny. Spiders are so nasty. I really love them though. I would not want to live with them like that though. Maybe they can be you replacement family. Get home defense and start spraying. Your blog is so cute. I love it. Mine is so not cute. I am going to make Cody do a cute one for me too.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOVE LOVE that you have stepped into blog world! The spider thing is pretty funny! Good luck with your new found spider family.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to blogging! Kristi told me that you had started one and I am so excited. It's such an easy way for me to keep up on everyone's lives.
ReplyDeleteOh -- and I agree with Katy, get home defense spray for the spiders. Ren has to spray our house about 2 a year for bugs because we live on a dirt field and it really does help.
I laughed out loud through your entire blog. Oh, the memories of our family camping outings, cooking around the campfire, sharing the family togetherness. "Where is Jess?" many a family member would ask. There she was, eating all by herself in the camp trailer, looking out the window at the rest of us. Why one might ask? One word...INSECTS. God says we learn "line upon line". You know, a step at a time. How wonderful to know that your step was actual...right on top of a spider! Love you so much.
