Unwelcome Roommate!


Our peaceful household had an unwelcome visitor Monday evening! It was a typical night at home...which means Mason is on the floor playing with his play-doh and trucks. I had just sat down to relax when something caught my attention out of the corner of my eye. To my horror, I happened upon this monster of a wolf spider hanging out on my lampshade. As a photographer, I take pictures of every mundane thing that I can focus my lens on, but this monstrocity is something that everyone had to see! I did my best to not project my fears onto Mason, but as I put the quarter next to the spider to take a picture, it moved! I squeeled in absolute terror (like a little school-girl, mind you)! Needless to say, this is the only photo I got of the spider with my finger anywhere near it!

There's no way I would have even put myself that close to that spider... unless it was a wax sculpture of a spider. Don't you know what spiders do? They are like the great glass Wonka elevator. They can move frontways, backways, longways, up, down, sideways, etc. You are a brave woman... even if you did scream like a school girl.
