The Great Spider Capers

From my younger sister- posted on her blog.

To the Great Spider God:

Please do not send your wrath down upon my household just becuase I killed one of your children last night.  Really, I enjoy the services your kids do in my house (kill and eat other pesky bugs, entertain the cat for hours, etc.).  I just don’t really appreciate laying in bed, staring up at the LARGEST FREAKING SPIDER I HAVE EVER SEEN!

I hate killing spiders…I’d rather take them outside.  But really, for me to deal with a spider of that caliber, I would have had to have a 3′ peice of posterboard and a hazmat suit.  Visions of that beast falling on us in our sleep kept dancing through my head…not the best sleeping pill, to tell you the truth.

Can’t you just keep them out of my bedroom?  Please?

I have to pass on my spider story. This was when I had my broken ankle. I was at work, cleaning up my area. I was rolling around on a chair. I rolled over to the trashcan to dump my dustpan. I moved the trashcan as it was out of place, then looked down and saw a huge spider that had been hiding under the trashcan. I rolled back in my chair and said “Oh s***!” Folks at work knew that meant something happened to me. Then I realized I was in a dead end and if that spider moved towards me I was going to have to climb onto counters, which would be hard with my lower leg in a cast. So I grabbed my walker and hobbled out of the dead end. We called a ‘man’ to help us get the spider outside. He said he took the spider and it was aggressive towards him after he put it on the grass 

My spider story

I had the kids working on things in my classroom. One of the boys looks up at me and says: "There is a spider." I said: “A big one?” “No a small one.” He answered.I said: “Let me see.” So there it is this tiny spider no bigger than a dot on the table where the kid was working. I said: “So kill it. ” He said “Not me.” So I went to grab his ntoebook and the kid said: " Not my notebook” So someone else handed me their notebook and I whumped the spider. The spider flattened out nicely on the back of the notebook." Gross" says the kid. The other kid took the notebook back spider guts on it and all. We went back to work. I am the big brave spider killing teacher now.

Have you heard the Brad Paisley song from his "Time Well Wasted" CD?


You've sure got a real nice place
So don't take this the wrong way
But I can tell by your decorating taste
You've been alone too long
You've got more candles than a midnight mass
That fancy mirror adds a touch of class
But do you know how good a mounted bass
Would look there on that wall

(Chorus:)
You need a man around here
You can't do it all by yourself
To me it's painfully clear
That you could use a little help
Someone to kill the spiders
Change the channel and drink the beer
Seems to me that you sure need
A man around here

Thumbing through your stack of magazines
I don't see a Maxim or Field and Stream
I haven't been in a room this clean
Since they took my appendix out
Well you've gotta be kidding me
Don't tell me that thing is your TV
My laptop's got a bigger screen
Baby, there ain't no doubt

(Chorus)

Someone to kill the spiders
And by the way, you're out of beer
Seems to me that you sure need
A man around here
Yeah, it seems to me that you sure need
A man around here

Artist/Band: Paisley Brad

Haven't heard that song yet but I like Brad Paisley

Yes, I could use a MAN to kill the spiders around here!

Well, i know a shoe will kill a spider better than a man can   especially if the man isnt wearing the shoe
