i hate spiders


have i mentioned how much i hate spiders? we live in a basement apartment, so unfortunately spiders are just a part of life. last year i sprayed the apartment and window wells with a product called "Home Defense." it's a bug/insect killer that is safe for your home, but this year i was weary to use it b.c of brennan. i wondered if the bugs and SPIDERS would really be that bad. well, they really are THAT bad!!! this week i have killed 3 BLACK WIDOWS! yes, i am a lover of halloween, cute spider decorations and all, but i am NOT a fan of the real deal. boo boo boo!!! so after taking this picture of the 2nd black widow i put brennan down for a nap and went on an outside bug spraying spree. on my field trip i killed ANOTHER black widow spider. if black spiders don't scare you, then the HUGE RED DOT on the black widow spiders should! it's there for a reason...to tell you to SQUISH AND RUN! so, now that the spray is sprayed i am dealing with spiders running for their lives into the house. this will pass in a few days, but i am not enjoying the scare of finding them by the bed, by brennan, on the wall, etc. etc. yay for bug spray!

yuck yuck yuck!!! I hate spiders too!! We live in an upstairs apartment so we don't get as many bugs but we definitely had our share of bugs and vermin in this old cabin we used to live in...(it's a long story, I'll have to tell you sometime! So gross!)

Oye, I can definitely empathize with you Emily. I HATE spiders. 2years ago when my dad was visiting I had a BW come down from the ceiling and right in front of my computer monitor while I was sitting there. My dad heard me scream and then came in to be my hero. The whole time I was yelling at him to be careful because I didn't want him to get bit. I of course would not come within 20 feet of the crazy thing. I had a few in Zoe and Emma's room last year. I told Del definitely time to get some bug spray. I'll have to talk to you about it. Good luck!
