Eek!
We just killed the largest spider ever in our basement/school room.
He was so large that you could practically hear is pointy little legs scurrying across the stained concrete floor. And he blended with the floor perfectly – why, oh why did we have the floor stained brown? Why didn’t we go with something a little less spider-color!
Now if you are thinking of writing and telling me how we should have kept him as a pet and watched him as a homeschool project, then great, why don’t you move here – I’ll be moving ASAP!
(Not really, I’m headed back there right now. In my head I’m also quoting Joshua 1:9, “Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified . . . .” Stop laughing at me!)

Posted that at 10:49.
Then at 1:43ish, I just killed a wasp in my house – it was inches from where I was sitting at my desk. I kept telling myself that that buzzing was another fly . . . a big one. It was not. What is going on here!?!
I am soooo sorry! You know I would have killed the spider if I’d been there or at least put a coffee cup over it till someone else got home and could kill it. With the wasp – you’re on your own.
love ya,

So I gotta know, how did Gus deal w/ your eight legged friend? I know she’s usually the brave one 🙂
Wow, we’ve both been dealing with horrifying, icky creatures this week! What’s up with that? This is not the homeschooling experience I signed up for 🙂
Your snake totally beats my creepy crawlies though! Yowzas! (Though I fully agree that this is not the home ed. that I hoped for!) jen
