They Jump !

I have a very similar story to the little drama shown below. Only it was my husband who was going to save me from a very big wolf spider that had been on the wall all evening. My husband worked swing shift at the time and I watched and checked on that spider all night just waiting for my husband to come home and get rid of it. I would not attempt this myself because you know, spiders can see you with all those eyes, I know this because I have watched their eyes follow me, and there is this--spiders jump! Well, my brave husband came home and I showed him the spider I had been observing all night. My husband laughed at me for being so silly and not taking care of this myself. Then he got a container to take care of it, climbed onto the couch to reach it and IT JUMPED RIGHT AT HIM! I did not know my husband could scream like that. In fact I have never heard him scream like that before or since. The spider scrambled under the sofa where my husband decided it could be left alone....and I never did know where that spider went but you can bet I did not sit on the sofa for quite awhile and for sure did not allow my naked feet to hang below the cushions. A spider like that could easily be waiting for a tasty chunk of foot or toe.

Who?

~This creepy crawlie has been popping up all over our home...on the stairs in the morning as I make my way down for my first cup of coffee. On the bedroom carpet as I finally head for bed , very late , in the dark. But not too dark to be startled by this creature. It shows up in my craft room in my wool and downstairs....but how? It is a plastic spider my sisters hid in one of the bags I brought home from our Sisters Re-Union( February 10, 2009 post ). Who did my sisters enlist to carry on this little scare tactic,this reign of terror, who would exploit my one big fear, SPIDERS !?! WHO ?.....
