Things That Go Bump In The Night
or should that say things that crawl in the middle of the night?
Snakes
I hate spiders with a passion! They rank right up there on my list with snakes and I’m petrified of snakes…so petrified that a little garter (also known as garden or gardner snake) snake crawling a couple feet in front of me sent me screaming like a banshee and running for my life! And I also have to mention that just looking at the images of snakes gave me goosebumps and chills! But I couldn’t post this without providing a picture of the pesky slithery thing that sent me running for dear life. The things I do for the whole lot 2 of you that read this, I swear!
Anyways snakes isn’t what I was referring to when I said things that crawl in the middle of the night. I was referring to spiders!
Spiders
One of the things I don’t like about my apartment is that when it warms up not only do the ants come out in but so do those nasty hairy creepy crawly spiders! I don’t know who screams more girly when a spider makes it presence known - me or Caleb! I know the situation is pretty chaotic and ends with me screaming, Caleb screaming, me watching the spider as Caleb runs for a shoe (I have to watch it to make sure it doesn’t get away!) and then me starting to sweat bullets fearing the thing will jump at me while in the process of aiming the shoe at it for a good squishing! Yes it really isn’t a great moment in my household when one of these babies rears its ugly head!
Anyways…last night I woke up because I felt something crawling on my leg. Or I thought I felt something crawling on my leg. I jumped out of bed probably faster than I’ve ever moved in my life, flipped on the light switch and searched my bed only to find nothing! (Sidenote: as a result of trying to get out of bed so quickly I slammed my leg into my little end table, bedside table - whatever you wanna call it - that has a not so smooth corner & now have a nice bruise thanks to that little run in)
I crawled back into bed but sleep didn’t come anytime soon. I couldn’t get rid of that creepy crawly feeling on my skin. Eventually I fell back asleep and woke this morning to a nice big red welt type thing on my lower leg. I pulled back my covers and low and behold there lay a nice sized spider. It was already dead thank God but it still didn’t stop me from crying out in that girly yelp I have!
Just what I didn’t need to find in my bed! Now I’ve got the heebie jeebies just thinking about crawling into bed. Not to mention the fact that I already have issues of being afraid of the dark so now this will just add to my whole hating the dark! No image to share with you for the spider because I have no clue what kind it is and I wouldn’t want you to laugh at me if you saw how ‘big’ my ‘nice sized’ spider was. LOL The picture I do have up there is of a daddy long leg spider - now those I can handle.
I do not like spiders either. I’m not really afraid of them, as I have held a taratula before, but I don’t like if they jump and I don’t like the way they feel or look. Why did God make spiders and such anyway??? I guess we’ll find out when we get to heaven!

So did you have welt because the spider bit you? What color was the spider? If it bit you, you will want to make sure it wasn’t poisonous.
I hate spiders too. One time I was lying on my couch and I sat up and looked down and right there on my boob was a spider with a body the size of quater!!!!
I screamed, picked up my daughter who was like 2 years old at the time and went into my bedroom and locked the door until my husband came home. Then I MADE him find that spider and KILL IT -I wouldn’t leave the bedroom until he found that thing - it was the biggest spider I had ever seen in real life!
