Two weekends ago, the kids had a party for the premier of High School Musical 2. Jess and Maddie decorated the basement so cute and some of Jess and Teylor's friends came to watch the show and then have a big slumber party. Jed was out of town so when the girls started screaming about a HUGE "tarantula" on the stairs, I freaked. I seriously get paralyzed when there is a spider close by. I think it all stems back to when I was about 5 years old and a little jerk kid put a daddy long leg down the back of my shirt and I couldn't get it out, but could feel it crawling on my back. UGH! the memories... So, I've been pretty happy here because I NEVER see spiders. Now I know why. This GIGANTIC spider is eating all of the other ones. All I could hear were the girls from the basement SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER. The only thing I could think of was to spray it with this nasty bug killer I just got (thank the heavens). I had to yell at the girls to stop screaming and then I heard Maddie saying "don't kill it! Take a picture for the blog!!!" Now that's dedication. I sprayed the crap out of it and then took a picture. It was all shriveled up in the picture - it was WAY bigger alive. SHIVER. I sprayed the whole house inside and out and found the craziest webs - yep, funnel webs the Hobo's make (or as my family call them, Homo's) and I'm pretty sure we had quite the homo family living in our house. I really hope that spray works.

Ewww! I hate spiders, too! I found one a little smaller then that one in our laundry room a few days ago. When my dogs wouldn't eat it (darn them... they eat everything else!!) I had to find a shoe. It was totally gross!!! Good job spraying the you know what out of it!
That homo is huge! Maddie is cute wanting to save it's life. I know it took tremendous courage for you to take care of it. Good job!
Carrreeeeeppyy!!! I'm right there with you; very arachniphobic. Good work on the spray. Get rid of them.
Jaime. That spider!! It is HAIRY! Oh my gosh that is so scary. That freaks me out.
Yep - that spider was humungous! Good thing you had that bug spray. That's a good idea. I hate trying to step on or squish those damn things. I have the heebeejeebees for hours after.
Your house is DARLING!! I haven't been there for years. Is that your basement? I love your couches.
Great post!
Okay, duh - I just read the post again, and I realize that that picture DOES show your basement! Soooooo nice. When did you guys do that?
We did it 2 years ago? I think... You guys need to come over!
YEP! I HATE spiders. One time I thought one was on me and I started to cry! Okay that is a little babyish- but What can I say? I hate them. They are so creeeeeeeepy!! p.s. the dumb spider was NOT on me, but close to me. Lame I know!
That thing is enormous!! I probably would have called a neighbor over to kill it. Freaky!!
