Terrifying Night!!

Happy 25 weeks Caylee!!

***

Anyone that knows me, knows I am terrified of bugs...I cannot stand them. I was attacked by fire ants when I was younger and seriously think that it must have scarred me for life! 

I would dream that my pillow was an ant hill and ants would attack me (this dream continued for quite some time). As far as I can recall, this is the first awful experience I had with bugs... Now, when I say I am afraid of bugs Im not talking "ewww there's a bug"...no, I mean I will freak out, start shaking, crying, running for my life!

Usually someone is home with me and I can just cry until they kill and discard of the bug...well tonight I am alone and just sitting in bed on my computer. I was attempting to kill some time until I got tired...


WELL...


Out of the corner of my eye I see a spot on the wall, I casually look up and there is a HUGE, no, GIGANTIC SPIDER!!!!!!!!!!!!

I immediately start to cry because don't know what to do (I'm so afraid of bugs I don't even kill them). I think ok, ignore it and then it'll crawl somewhere else... YEAH RIGHT...it'll crawl right in BED WITH ME!

So I jump up, or kinda roll out the bed, get a shoe (shaking all the while) and then when I get back over there its GONE!!!!!

Why me...why me?? Its behind one of the dressers. I can't look behind the dresser to see where because Im terrified it will spray me or jump on me...so I sit crying in the middle of my bed with a shoe in my hand. I'm terrified and wishing I knew my neighbors so I could ask for help.

I call my mom (who is in Virginia while Im in Georgia) and get no answer. I finally make up my mind to go sleep on the couch but am too afraid to walk to the door because I have to pass the dresser! So I am sitting crying and just freaking out in general...well then thank the Lord I see that stupid spider on the side of the dresser!!!!

It was too far back to kill it with the shoe so in a moment of genus I bolt out of the room and get my lysol with bleach cleaning spray! I use half the bottle spraying the wall, dresser, and spider!!! It wobbled around but wasn't dead still! I had to convince myself to go get our actual bug spray (I'm afraid of that also just because it has to do with bugs).

I wrap my hand in paper towels, grab the spray (so I don't have to touch the bottle and so none of the stuff gets on me) and completely cover the WHOLE wall and the rest of the room!!!! I then stood for about 5 minutes near the dresser ready to spray more in case the sucker moved again! I think its dead now but Im still checking regularly. 

Of course now every hair on my shoulder feels like a bug, and I am trying to quiet the voice that's telling me that the dead spider may not be the same spider I saw at first...but overall Im much better now. I have the fan on high and windows open because otherwise I think the toxic fumes would make both me and the baby sick! 

I HATE BUGS!
