The Attack of the Taranula times 3!!!

I had to pull a late night tonight to work on orders. As I was sitting in my chair, bead tray in my lap...just workin' away at about 10:30 at night ..I catch a glimpse out of the corner of my eye and there was a BIG Arizona style tarantula RIGHT next to me! I wasn't gonna move it...nooooooo! David was asleep, so I text my daughters boyfriend, Jared, who was working and let him know my situation..he says, "Are you serious thats so awesome. I hope they are still there when I get there" and I say "Me too so you can helllllpppppp!!!!!!". Not that I wished it would still be there..but, that he would hellllllllpppppp!!!!!
At this point, I had the window open incase he wanted to make his way back to the good 'ol outdoors (bad idea)...next thing you know, what's running across the floor, TOWARD ME??? ANOTHER ONE!!! I send another desperate text (thank God he likes me..haha) ..he assures me me he's "Got my back", I assure him that he rocks. I keep working away, now surrounded by TWO huge, hairy, eight legged critters (trying to ignore them..HA!) Than BOOM...ANOTHER ONE! I kid you not..at this point, I swear I feel like I'm starring in "The Attack of the Tarantulas"...it was climbing down the wall in my general direction..I stop working at this point ..slowly step away from "the set" and Jared walks in! Thank you Jared!!! He moves them out one by one with his hands and a dust pan. He actually enjoyed the experience!! Enough to where he brought one back in to see if I wanted to get a picture of it "for my blog" (he's awesome). At this point, I'm calm cause it seems like Jared's got everything under control. So I grab the camera, Jared puts Mr. Massive 8 Legs on one of my display branches and now we have a few great pictures and major points for Jared!

  4. You're a better woman than I am! I would have been screaming for my hubby the minute I saw the first one, whether he was sleeping or not. Oh wait, no I wouldn't...he's the one that is afraid of spiders! LOL!

  5. Kelly~ That's exactly what he said the next morning too..He said, "Awww sweetie, why didn't you just come and wake me up, I would have taken them outside!" I knew that and that's precisely why I decided to wait for Jared. However, if Jared wasn't coming over any minute..heck yes, I would have woken him up!! That's funny though what you wrote about your hubby...hehehehe
