As many of my viewers know I had a recent spider experience in my house. We had a brown recluse which thankfully our landlord got rid of for us over a span of three days...When I talk about how scared me and my hubby were you guys just may share a few laughs! So the story as follows..my honey, who works at night came home after a normal day..little did we know it would haunt us for days to come. Anyways, so a couple hours after his gaming time and our family movie while eating breakfast he goes to shower before falling asleep. Next thing I know I hear "OOOH MY GOSH!!!" the shower curtain being moved and the door flung open to a hubby speedily walking my way and in freak out mode. After I laugh a little bit (as i rarely see him get like this and knew nothing bad was wrong) I regain myself and ask him what's wrong. He goes to tell me "there is a huge spider in the bath tub and what should i should, Amber? what should I do?!" I say what! let me see, go look, freak myself out, grab my phone take a picture from a VERY safe distance and by very safe I mean not even close to the bath tub and have my camera phone zoomed in all the way to get as close to hopefully be identified once I posted it on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. As my hubby is there running steaming hot water to try and kill it, the thing gets smart and tries to climb away from the water...what was even smarter was that once we turned off the water it took its leg that got water on it, to what looked like its mouth and started to stroke it and in about 5 minutes it was able to change positions away from the water that sat on the bottom of the tub. In the mean time my hubby wanted me to see what kind of spider it was. Mind you my husband normally kills spiders like nothing but this time, it got to him and he couldn't even look at a picture. After typing in what we thought it was i looked at the pictures to find it confirmed...I also received a comment from a paramedic friend of mine as well as a friend via Facebook confirming it even more so. The lovely recluse spider...the pictures were bad enough and now I had one in my safe spot, my home. We took our kids from the bedroom as it is right next to the bathroom. The hubby then proceeded to read more and after I made a comment stating that scientists believe a spider is never more than three feet away from you at all times, he proceeded to go to the kitchen and place himself on the steps tool. I for one felt he was being a bit dramatic and just could not stop laughing. Eventually after he read enough, we packed up the kids in the car, packed a duffel bag of clothes and off to the in laws we went as we asked our landlord to take care of the problem and seal up areas so that they don't keep coming in. It was quite a ride as even on the way up we had the Hebe gibes and creepy crawlies and every little thing scared us, but more so him so I couldn't stop laughing. As we came home today I looked around the house to make sure nothing new had come in while we were out.
Today went great until bath time..I almost had a heart attack that still has my heart racing. My son goes to take a bath as I make his milk for bed then I hear him scream and say it won't get off me! As I run to him yelling to him to get out of the tub and ask what happened...low and behold there was nothing there...but he did have dead spider guts on his fingers from when our Landlord killed the spider so I cleaned the tub and cleaned him up. what he thought was a bug or something was just hair that got caught on his hand. My heart was out of my chest and I looked all over the bathroom constantly to make sure nothing was there as I took a shower. Talk about paranoia kicking in and not feeling safe in your own home :( I'm hoping I get some sleep tonight as my day ended on a heart wrenching worried mommy moment that I just cannot shake just yet.
On a happier note, I will be posting up a tutorial tomorrow on how to upcycle a rug from old or funny colored towels. I would have done it today but my internet is down due to us forgetting to pay our bill with the whole spider incident and a storm earlier that won't have the line fixed til tomorrow. I have pictures and how colorful it is coming along. My sister in law thought of the idea and I helped her a little along the way and get to make one of my own when she done with the length she wants. So good night all and I will see you tomorrow!! <3
