This is the underneath of the spider. The picture of the top of him didn't turn out that great.
Today, I was enjoying my time outside while my kids played in a little kiddie pool, when out of the corner of my eye I saw something move (it was about 6 feet away) I walked a little closer because I was curious about what it was. To my absolute HORROR I saw this creature. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Now, I have seen big spiders before. Tarantula's. It's been years and tarantula's are suppose to be big so you are somewhat prepared, but this...this was just a normal looking spider only HUGE!! If you know me, you know I HATE spiders of any kind. I can't even kill small spiders without having an anxiety attack. I have no clue where this fear came from. I've never been bitten. Anyway....I sort of froze. I didn't let my kids out of the pool until I thought of some way to get rid of this thing. I then remembered we had wasp spray in our laundry room. The can says it can spray from up to 16 feet away. It was the perfect solution. I ran inside (all the while I was telling the kids to stay in the pool). I grabbed the can and started to spray. It started running for it's life but I was not going to let him get free just so he could come back and get revenge! I spray him the whole 10 feet he ran. I sprayed until he eventually stopped and then died. I do not feel bad about killing this thing. The world is now with one less spider and I couldn't be happier (I'm not looking forward to my dreams tonight) but I am happier he is now passed on.
p.s. I about threw up when chad decided to pick up the dead thing just so we could get a picture.

YUCK!!!!!!
Now I have the creepy crawlys!
I know exactly where you got the fear of spiders from ME!!!!!!! I hate spiders and I think I past that on to most of you. Chad should not be picking creepy crawly things up like that even if they are dead YUCK!!!!!!!! I am glad the kids didnt get curious and go play with it while you were getting the spray I can see Carly doing that.
I just got the biggest chill down my spine, looking at that picture! So freaky!
K, why do you have to go and put a picture on there to give me nightmares!? We just watched Aracnaphobia (?) the other day (my first time seeing it), it was pretty corny since it's so old, but I still got the heebie geebies watching it! Thanks a lot, your picture brought it back! ;)
Oops, signed as Dave, but this is really Natasha. I'm sure you guessed that already.
HAHAAHA we are so much alike! I CANT NOT STAND killing spiders! Even with a shoe! I feel like itll like melt through my shoe and bite me! I have panick attacks everytime i see a freakin spider! Im so glad there is one less spider in the world! Thank you sister thank you!!
That is a pretty sweet looking spider! I think you should stick it with a pin and put on your wall as a memory ;)
Ok a new post that spider is creepy I need to see the cute faces of my grandkids.
I understand your fear since I am grossed out by dead animals. I would like to know how you picked it up with your bare hands!?
