Things I can do without, #483

[changeyourstars8]

So Kaylee needed to be changed, and I told her to go get me a diaper. She picks one up from where she scattered them all last night, holds it out to me--

And I see, about three inches away from her hand, a good-sized brown spider crouching inside the fold of the diaper.

I snatched it away from her and headed for the front door, which the spider apparently took as a threat. It scurried out to the top of the diaper and reared up. I unlocked the front door in one hell of a hurry before it could decide to try a Flying Squirrel Tackle and shook it out into the grass.

Not even noon, and I've already had one heart attack. Yay.

That doesn't equal spider in the grass...that equals dead spider. You have a lot more tolerance for those things than I do... *shudders*

Well, if I can catch them they're fine. It's the ones skittering around on the ceiling that get swatted. Unless I can scare them down to the ground.

Yeah.

Did I tell you about the time I caught that huge spider in the basement when I was a kid and walked up to dad with it in my hands all proud of myself? LOL Poor dad.
