Guess what I spied while brushing my teeth tonight? Lots of teeny, tiny baby spiders! You'd think this would be the sort of thing that would put me into a catatonic state, but surprisingly it didn't. I got a kitchen chair and some damp toilet paper and then did my best to squish them and then flush them. I probably got 20 of them, but I fear that there are hundreds more (because most likely there are). I have some guilt about this because they're actually cute at this size and they remind me of Charlotte's Web, but hey this is my bathroom! What am I to do? I will not tolerate infestation!
**How am I supposed to sleep now?**

missy...you got a chair and went up to get them....what in the world is this late at night fan fare doing to you.....i would think you would run the opposite direccion and then feel bad, because it reminded you of charlottes web...good grief...this late late andanzas are getting to you...hey at least you are becoming braver...just say harry potter...feel soo at a high....what a great show..but anything looks scary right now
Yikes. That would send me into feeling far too paranoid in creepy crawlies to sleep!
I simply cannot imagine spiders cute at any size. Keep squashing!
You call that a spider? HA! I can't even see it. Where's your zoom lens?
Oh dear. Baby spiders are kind of cute, but then they grow up to be big spiders! I'm impressed that you just squashed them without freaking too much. Hope you eventually got to sleep!
This happened to me when we first moved into our house on fort union. It was in my closet and I almost lost it. I'm shocked you were in such good form because they do get bigger. Ok not trying to freak you out just having fun with you. Call someone and have them come spray. I know it's not cheep, but remember there are more lurking.
I hope all went well last night. It was great waking up this morning and getting started.
Oh my! Flashback for me when I was preg and we were at BYU - my light in my family room started moving. I just sat below it on the couch and watched until I realized that tiny spiders had hatched and were emerging! Not a great site to see an 8 month, very large gal, standing on the chair trying to squish every last one while screaming!
I feel your pain. Hopefully, you slept well because there isn't 3 am post. ;-)
As cute as baby spiders are....they are going to be BIG spiders and can you imagine having them all grow up in your house. I would have been FREAKING out (I HATE spiders) and would not have slept at all!!
What is it about them being in the bathroom? That is where I kill most of our spiders as well.
Eek! I had that happen when I found the sack or colony they were all comming from. Ugh, soo gross. I did the same thing.
I am sooo glad you posted about the love signs. I really want to go and buy that book! I think it is all totaly true. I am anxious to find out what my kids and husband are. Thanks for sharing!!
Hi! I'm Amy. I just read your "to comment or not to comment" and decided it was time to let you know that I read your blog almost daily! I'm always impressed with your posts. Thanks for all the inspiration.
I hope your quest for sleep was more successful than mine has been over the last several days.
Those little guys will never get to help a pig now. How sad...Nah. :)
ew
I'm afraid I would have the creepy crawlies after that! As cute as they might be that small, anything in mass like that is too much for me to handle! I hope they are all gone!
i've seen quite a few bugs myself these days and i REALLY dislike it! glad you got a bunch. christian is trying to understand why it's not ok to hurt "creatures" but ok for mom to kill anything that dares set creepy crawlers in my house.
we have also had a mild infestation of spiders. I guess it's because of all of this heat. Everyone has them. I hate them so and just hope I don't run into one while Josh is at work. I just get weak and then have to vacuum them up! Ick.
Spray away Jill!! I didn't realize you had so many 8 legged friends around. Yikes.
my sister in law (Amy of the James & Amy comment) told me you wrote about spiders and to check it out because I just posted about one today. If you want to get a kick out of a crazy story: jndrysdale.blogspot.com
Also, one spider is very different than 100. I would have squished them too. (you'll understand what I mean if you read my story. haha)
Funny how everything *baby* is somehow cute. We have a beetle infestation at work from the patio off our reception room and there is nothing cute about it.
before i read the part about c. webb that is the first thing i thought of... but i also think our plastic woody and buzz come to life every night.
Itty-bitty spiders don't scare me, but a wall crawling with them might. Yikes. And yes, the thought of how many I don't see would be freaking me out for sure. You are brave.
This cracks me up because I thought you'd be freaking out about the spiders not thinking they are adorable. I don't know how you are ever going to sleep again! :)
