Spiders

I ABHOR SPIDERS!!!! They just give me the creeps, to say the least. I have killed 5 spiders since we moved in. These are those dark black spiders about the size of a nickel..including their legs. It's to the point that I just start looking in all the corners expecting a new spider to appear. I think I'll keep wearing shoes or slippers in the house, just in case I happen to step on one. In my younger years, I'd just start hollering for someone to come kill the spider. Usually one of my sons was around and could handle that for me. Now that I'm here alone most of the time, it's up to ME to kill the spiders. IT just seems like everytime I see a spider, Tom's at work, hence home alone! I haven't come to the point that I'm nice to spiders and just try to pick them up somehow and take them outside where they belong. If they are inside, they must die! If I could find a fly swatter, I'd use that, but no luck finding a fly swatter yet. SO, I just have to get them with a paper towel and squish. I hate that feeling, seems like I can feel that squish and it makes me tremble.

How is YOUR day going?

This one just made me laugh.I hate that squish too. And spiders move way too fast with those eight legs- as the other bugs don't seem quite as intimidating because they only have six legs. I used to use smooth bottomed Sunday shoes to smash them because it was easier to wipe off the bottom (instead of a shoe with tracks). But somehow, we've done pretty good without spiders.
