Spider.
This is a poem the was recited to my in junior high school by Mark Bertalino. Mark, if you're out there, I still remember this poem somehow... maybe because you said it to me every day
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I was sitting on the couch today during nap time, nine months pregnant with my feet propped up on a pillow on the ottoman. I was covered in the blanket that I'm currently crocheting for my future niece, and all the balls of yarn and whatnot. The TV was on but I was just glancing at it from time to time since I was crocheting. Out of the corner of my eye I thought I say something move across my floor. Since I have a 1 1/2 year old, it could have been anything from trash to crumbs to fuzz that she picked off of her stuffed animals... But I didn't actually see anything so I just went back about my business.
About 15 min later I saw the same type of movement again and pushed the blanket aside to look over my legs onto the floor. Let's just say that heeby jeebies don't quite cover it.... A large, brown, long legged spider was scurrying across the hardwood. He wasn't going too fast so I made every effort to get up as quick as possible so I could squish him. Feet up, giant belly and covered in yard... I had no chance in hell of catching him. But he stopped. So up I got and went straight for a shoe on the floor. As soon as I got close he went right under the computer cabinet. Well, there's no bending over for me, especially not to look a creepy spider in the eyes! So he's a free man.
But he was the same color as my hardwood. And he's loose. And that was the 2nd movement I saw (so are there 2 of them? possibly making hundreds of spider babies as I type this?) And I'm on the computer that is in the cabinet he ran underneath.... Shit - I'm gonna get bit by a giant spider.

Maybe this is over share in such a public forum, but I was using the bathroom a few days ago and felt something on my leg. I thought it could have been a hair that fell from my head or something, but I looked down and it was a SPIDER! On my leg! I jumped up and shooed him off then picked him up (with toilet paper)and flushed him. Heeby Jeebies fo sho!
No kidding. A few nights ago Darcy jumped up from his corner of my bed and started batting at something. I turned the lights on and there was a HUGE centipede working its way up the side of my bed. I couldn't see it very well so I jumped up to get my glasses on and by the time I cam back it had disapeared. I was all "go get 'em boy! KILL IT Darcy!!" to my cat, as if he were Lassie. Anyway, I moved my bed, took everything out from under it, and never found the stupid bug. It was 1 am, somehow I managed to fall back asleep. I still think about it when I get in to my bed.
