Creepy Crawlers

I hate spiders.

Actually, hate is a really strong word and I guess as much as I dislike the hairy little 8 legged buggers that dangle from their webs in my face, I don’t hate them, they just totally creep me out.

Even waking up to a spider bite in the morning bothers me coz I know that whilst I was sleeping, one was crawling on my skin!

So the other night, I went to bed early while Nick was sorting out mortgage papers and occasionally asking me to sign some, I layed in bed reading my Harry Potter book. Nick finally put away the papers and started drifting off to sleep while I stayed up coz I couldn’t put down the book.

For any of you who know Harry Potter, Aragog is a spider about the size of a small car that also has a tribe of spiders with him. Im in the midst of reading about these spiders when I see something out of the corner of my eye.

Literally, out of the corner of my eye because there was an ugly brown spider (about the size of my fingernail, not so much a small car) just about to LAND ON MY FACE!

I threw my book, swatted him across the room, and jumped out of bed of course jolting awake Nick who then yelled at me for waking him up.

But I couldn’t help it, even tho it was small Id rather not him landing on my face.

I couldn’t lay down after that. Not on my side anyway. And I also could not find him anywhere so I made Nick sleep on that side which I took his. That’s what men are for right?

Im not accustomed to the other side of the bed as on my side I have my eyemask (coz its really bright in our room), eyedrops (which I need every morning as soon as I wake up since my laser eye surgery), my water bottle (because I don’t drink out of open top cups since my sister almost drank a spider out of her cup that was sitting overnight) and my temperature stick which Im trying to map out when I ovulate but isnt at all working since alcohol throws your temp off. Oh yeah, and my phone with my alarm on it.

So we manage to get back asleep and the next morning when Nicks alarm went off on his phone, it totally threw me off and I jumped up to grab it and smashed the side of my head on the corner of the table (because I wasn’t used to this being there usually) and because me and Nicks alarms are different, his disorientated me.

I don’t have a bruise but my temple is very sore. 1 inch to the right and I would have had a black eye.

I still had to check for spiders before I went to bed last night but cant see any. I guess they'll just haveto wait till Im asleep before they crawl all over me again.
