Just take them all and then I can take a shower without a spider watching me... the creepy little things.<br /><br />(I wish I was kidding.

Then when it moved again, I pulled back the covers to find a daddly long legs!! Now, I don't usually mind things like that in the corner of the ceiling, etc, but not in my bed, crawling on me. It's just totally, well... ewwwwww. I so understand why you had heebie jeebies. I've been there too, and got the T-shirt! <br />Admittedly though, it was worse for you. Crawling across your face??

I am not exaggerating when I say thousands of spiders were crawling all over the outside of our house, and each night they invited their friends. I had nightmares of the exact scenario that happened to you. Yup, I would have flipped.<br />Aaand, heebie-jeebies is a great, underused word.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598334062894843398.post-1329302205435969782013-04-10T23:18:37.656-04:002013-04-10T23:18:37.656-04:00Pickleope, that comment is hilarious.Pickleope, that comment is hilarious.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598334062894843398.post-64157506944885340042013-04-10T07:28:42.875-04:002013-04-10T07:28:42.875-04:00Umm...did I say spider?
