Okay I am an idiot and now it's funny but yesterday....

So it's been damp and DH and I live close to the water when it rains alot wet get earwigs (eeeewwww) and worst of all spiders. ?Spiders of all shapes and sizes. ?

Soo yesterday I am baking bread and I am at the point where I don't need the cookbook anymore and I am ready to give that dough it's final kneed so I take to dough out of the bowl and toss the cookbook up onto the shelf knocking a giant black dock spider into the empty bowl. ? What did I do? ?I screamed my bloody head off for DH through the towel that had been over the bread, over the bowl to trap the spider and ran and hid behind the fridge with my eyes closed. ?He comes running into the kitchen cause all he heard was me scream and then shriek "OHMIGOD JASON GET HERE QUICK!" He sees me hiding behind the fridge with my eyes squeezed tight and starts laughing "what the hell is wrong?" ?

"B-B-B-Bowl"

"wow that's a big spider? what do you want me to do about it?'

"k-k-kill it. ?Make it go away" (still with eyes closed btw and in the little kid scruntched up way)?

So DH gets a paper towel to squish the thing and I hear him say "Sh*t it's getting away, ?the damn thing won't squish. ? Hand me a shoe?"

This caused me to scream my head off and run into the bathroom and jump into the tub. ?On my way I threw him the shoe. I hear some banging and some words like "die bastard!" ?and then he comes to tell me it's done.?

Now most times I can handle spiders. ?Daddylonglegs aren't a problem. ?Hell I see them as mosquito killers and aren't bothered by them. ?They do a service. ?It's the big creepy ones that turn me into an idiot. ?They are so freaking evil looking and ya, I wasn't impressed. ?DH thought it was hilarious but hey I was so freaked out that I made him check the shelf for more spiders before I left the bathtub and he wasn't allowed to leave the kitchen until I was done baking and making dinner. ?

  • Funny story.  Could TOTALLY picture myself in the lead role with DH as my spider-slayer!  lol
  • don't you just feel like an idiot after something like that? ?Would I do it again? 100% for sure.

  • That scene (and many like it) have been played out in my house many times!!! lmao...I love that he called it a bastard!
  • I am just like you, I freak out.  NOT looking forward to the fall weather when our house become a spider habitat again. DH is the one I make kill all the spiders but he won't be here and I don't think I can live with them!!!
