        For one since those neighbors moved in downstairs roaches have been crazy.  Eeeeew. I hate those things.

        Ok first thing happened

        I put Ruby Ravishing to bed covered her house.  I went to the kitchen saw a huge spider big as my hand on the ceiling.  I shouted omg look at that spider.  Fouad came running and said spray it so I got the spray and sprayed.  Darn thing didn’t spray worth a darn.  Then the spider moved behind the book shelf oh great.

        I grabbed the broom and leaned it on the chair for when it shows up again.  Then came roaches out of the wheel of the chair.  Nasty.  I was smashing them with my shoe.   After they were all dead I sprayed the wheels of the chair.  A few more came out dying.  I smashed and tossed them.   Great all done.

        Few minutes later the spider was in all the way into the living room.  Quick kill it.  Fouad came and smacked it with the broom.  It fell and hid.   Little later it showed up on the ceiling again on the other side of the living room.   I went at it and it fell on the litter container. Great.  I moved it around to get the spider out and the paper shredder fell over spilling some of the shredded paper.  OH great.  I grab lots of paper towel and go to smash the paper and put it in the trash little by little.  No spider.  So I carefully took the trash bag in the paper shredder with some paper still left in it and tied it in a knot.  Then I stuck it in the other trash bag and tied it up.

        So far no spider.  It hasn’t reappeared after 30 minutes.   Thats a relief kind of.

        I got online to find out if it was a brown recluse or not.  Fortunately it wasn’t.   I was so worried when it was hanging out in the living room that it would make its way into Ruby’s cage or something and bite her.

        Guess I am going to be sleeping with one eye open tonite any little thing I feel I am going to be smacking it.  something as light as air from the a/c brushing over my leg and smack   lol.   Hope I dont’ wake up with bruises   rofl.  from smacking myself.

        Gosh sort of reminds me of a saying my aunt had.  Slapping ourselves silly trying to kill mosquitoes biting us.

          Oh god. I would be sleeping outside if that happened in my house lol. I can’t stand bugs and especially not spiders. One night at our cabin in the mountains my brother claimed he saw one on my bed comforter but he didn’t want to say it. He just told me to get out of bed and I was like shutup and go to bed weirdo. So then he tells me there is a “wagon wheel” spider the size of my hand on my bedding and I shriek and fling the covers everywhere and fly out of my bed. I go downstairs to sleep on the couch and ….there is a huge spider on the window ledge…same story I shriek and run away and can’t find it to kill it. So I can’t sleep there either. So I go back up into the loft and this time I am armed with a can of raid and I spray it all over my bed and then I make a circle around my bed with it – like salt to get rid of witches or something like that. My brother was just like O______O looking at me. I moved the bed far away from the wall and looked all over. Sprayed some more – a lot more. So I get into bed and I’m not using any blankets because the spider could have touched them or been in them. Colin is still sitting up in his bed just laughing….he said he was just kidding. I don’t know if he just said that so I could sleep or because he really was. Either way I slept terrible that night lol.

          GAH!!

          Bunnytowne you and I could just sit in a room screaming and holding eachother when we see spiders lol

            oh my gosh- I would not have been able to sleep.  Once I get something into my head- I can’t get over it until it is “fixed”.  If I think that I filled my water bottle to drink from and it was not clean before I filled it- that would bother me.  If someone had their pet over and it jumped on our bed- and if I thought the pet might have been out at a barn rolling to poo or something gross- I would have to wash my pillow and blanket before i could use them again.  I am just trying to come up with examples.  My poor hubby has gotten used to my quirks.  I love to have my feet and ankles rubbed since I have tendon problems- so my husband will do that while we watch TV- but if he gets up to get icecream, whatever- I say sure, just wash your hands first.  And he would anyway- but I have to know that he did wash his hands after touching my feet and then getting food- and they are MY feet.  LOL.

            And once someone tells me about THEIR quirk- it it makes sense then it can bother me too.  Like I always have to wipe the top of pops cans off with a towel or my shirt since someone told me that they are not clean- which is technically true.  Or that it is gross to touch a public restroom door handle on the way out- because what if someone that did not wash their hands touched the doorknob as they were leaving…EW!!!!!

              Oh, that spider would have kept me up too. Not knowing where it was — no relief to me! I have woken up because a spider was crawling over my face. I though it was my hair, but each time I brushed it off, it came back, then I realized it was a spider. It landed on my pillow and disappeared. I stayed up til I found it and caught it. Roaches, gross! yuk! too many bugs in the south! I much rather shovel snow…

                Katnip I can so relate.  I wash or wipe the tops of soda cans and any cans I am about to open on the can opener.

                The bug man comes Thursday morning.  Can’ t wait.

                I got up this morning and what do I see.   The spider all curled up and injured on Ruby’s cage blanky.  YIKES.   I grabbed that bundle of paper towels I had ready since last nite and caught it up took it to the kitchen and smash

                Then 2 roaches came out when I moved  Cottons litterbox that is by the bedroom door.   Smash smash.

                Please please no more bugs especially roaches.  Actually I like spiders.  It is just that I wasn’t sure if it was a brown recluse or not.  It wasn’t.  Poor thing.  Besides it was way too big to be living in my house.   A small spider I will take it outside.  OR a lizard but not that giant thing.
