OH EM GEEEEE


So today after Shon left for work I decided I had to go to Costco to get diapers. Literally moments after he left I attempted to leave only to be stopped in my tracks shortly after opening my door. I noticed right before it was too late that there was a spider with the wingspan of my hand tip of middle finger to wrist! Oh how I love living in paradise. So, frozen with fear I call my neighbor, but it turns out she too is terrified of these beasts. I had to "man" up and take care of this myself. I didn't want that thing in my home so I shut the door and grabbed 2 cans of raid. I put Cam in his excersaucer and went around back. I couldn't see the spider through the screen so I just started soaking my front door. Nothing. I slowly pull open the screen and he's movin pretty fast and looks mad. So I slam the screen shut and continue dousing my screen area in raid. He sprints up the screen into view and that was it for him. I drowned him in raid and he fell down and died. I was too afraid to open the screen again so I called my dad for a little courage. I finally got the guts up to open it again and this is what I found. The post it is for size reference. Usually spiders are tiny when they are dead and curled up but not this monster. Man I wish I could have gotten out of that but I was not about to play the where's the spider game for weeks. (Like we did right before and after Cameron was born.)

  2. I soooooo feel for you, Tasha! I hate spiders, too, and that monster would have freaked me out, too!

    Your cousin,
