Padded room, here I come (as long as there's no spiders)

Ok so, a couple posts ago I wrote about a terrible experience I had with 3 creepy spiders in my bedroom. Well I haven't written much lately because that was the first experience of many and I fear I'm close to a mental breakdown!

So here is what's happened since that last spider post:

The night after I was just settling into bed when I suddenly spotted a BIG spider in the corner of my room. I jumped out of bed, grabbed a winter boot from storage and tried desperately to squish him! The thing was he was in the corner and my boot couldn't get to him. I tried over and over to kill the thing but I couldn't and then something horrible happened...the spider started jumping. JUMPING! I thought I was going to cry.

The next evening rolled around and I decided I was going to go visit some friends. It was raining outside, but only lightly, so I grabbed my raincoat and off I went. After visiting for a while I went to leave, I grabbed my raincoat and started to put it on when I saw it. There was a spider inside my raincoat. How long was it there??!?!?! I don't even want to think about it. Then when I got home and crawled into my bed I looked down (I seriously need to just stop doing that) and there was another spider who had taken up residence in my room. This one had a creepy funnel web...check it out...


I moved out. I'm not even joking, I started sleeping outside in a camper van. I'm not lying when I say that

(I'm also not lying when I say you have to be seriously talented to make a picture look good when you draw it using the paint program.)

Then, I got mad. That's my house, it's not a spider hotel! Those evil arachnids have no right to just make themselves at home. So I went to the store and I got...


I was so happy about this purchase that I'm pretty sure I was walking around the store with a crazed look on my face, chuckling under my breath.


Those stupid spiders are in for it now!

ick, eek, YIIIIIKES!!

It's now 2:10am (although my computer lies and says it's 3:10am) and I can't sleep, not at all.

It all started at about 10pm, which is a decent time, when I crawled into bed and said to myself, "I'm going to read a few chapters of this book." So I started to read said book and after only 2 chapters in I had to know. I mean I had to know. So I finished that entire book. At 1:33am I closed the covers to that book and thought to myself, "whoa. What a trip! That book was crazy! And now, it's time for me to sleep." So I turned off the light.

And then my brain kicked in and I started thinking. Thinking about: truth and morals, good and evil, the way the world wishes it could live by it's own standards even though time and time again they see that it just doesn't work, and about how sometimes I'm scared that I've become the type of person who just believes whatever I'm told without thinking about it first.

While I was thinking about all these things I turned on the light and that's when I saw it. A SPIDER!!!!!! And do you know what it was doing? It was crawling along a thin web line up the wall right beside my bed. I threw on my glasses so I could find something to squish it with and then I saw something even worse...

Two. More. Spiders.

They were down on the floor. Perhaps they were cheering their buddy on, "Come on man, you can do it! You're almost there! Touch the human bro, do it!"

I jumped out of my bed and searched for something, anything to kill them with. I found a juice bottle to be their doom. I squished the one on the wall first and then I slowly reached down with my death weapon and squished his buddy. When I brought the bottle back up towards me there were 2 spider corpses left behind.

Now I don't know where the third spider went. And I'm itchy all over and also I'm paranoid. Are spiders revenge seeking creatures?

And besides all that there's 2 dead spiders beside my bed. I'm not sure I'll ever sleep again.

of mice and little girls

The other day a couple of girls from Kids Club showed up at my house to visit. We hung out in my front yard for a while and enjoyed life. They climbed into my cedar hedge pretending to be Alice in Wonderland. While in there they discovered a birds nest with eggs in it, pretty exciting stuff. Also while they were in there about 10 blackbirds flew out of the hedge and perched on Henry's tree, staring at their invaded home begrudgingly. Then they decided they wanted to water the plants in my flower boxes with the rain water (there actually wasn't any plants in the boxes yet but I figured it wasn't going to hurt anyone if they didn't know that little fact :)

This is when they discovered...the dead mouse!

Dun dun duuuuuuuuuh!

It had drowned. And was dead in one of the buckets they wanted to use to water the "plants" All three of us crowded around the bucket to take a look at the tragically deceased critter. It's tongue was sticking out. The one girl dumped it out of the pail and went about her watering business.

The second girl went for the other pail, she looked inside and shrieked, "A SPIIIIIDER!!!!" To which I and girl #1 responded with matching "EEEEEEEEEEEKKKK!"s while we all ran in different directions.

Hmmmmmm.
