Arachnophobia


I am not really afraid of spiders as a matter of fact I know they are good for the ecosystem so I used to just let them be. What drove me nuts were the spider webs - they make a mess in the house and everyday I walk on the deck I end up walking one - ick, always gives me the heebs. Plus once I came a across a truly hideous spider in my bed which made it an unsleepable location for 4 nights!

This past Christmas while getting presents online for the kids I got for myself this cool bug vacuum for that is made for kids so they can collect them and study them. Knowing I can not live with spiders anymore and not liking to kill them - the crunch grosses me out, I was excited! Especially since it looks like some Buck Rogers kinda weapon - yay Carson of the 21rst century.

I was cleaning the bathroom this weekend and ugh a really ugly back one dropped down from the ceiling. I quickly ran for my protection and sucked it right up. Cleaning is such a hit or miss thing with me that when the feeling comes over me, I have to go with it. Well it was 10:30 at night so I did not want to set it free on the deck and have it jump on me in the dark. Instead of I left it in the little capsule on the bathroom sink til the morning. I tried to identify it but really even in the capsule did not like touching it or being that close to it. Of course when I go up in the morning and walked by it to go to the bathroom it scared me yet again - ugh.

Shortly there after I set it free out on the deck but have decided that the gun is now going to be kept in the nightstand next to my bed. I don't care what they are up to when I am not here but I want to be prepared in case they decide they wish to snuggle with me at night - ugh.
