Arachnophobia

I am beginning to feel like I am in that movie. We have so many spiders...it isn't even funny. The spiders are most visible right outside our basement door. We cannot open the door without seeing at least 2 or 3 spiders. They aren't small ones either. It is so disgusting.

This morning I went to give Murph a water refill and his breakfast when I hit a roadblock of about SIX SPIDERS!!!!! I opened the door and there were 3 right there - 1 being very large. I shut the door and called for Jason. I just can't handle that many. One had managed to sneak into the house, too. Jason came down and ended up killing five. I told him I don't think I can wait until April when he wanted to spray for them. There are just too many and I have a feeling I am going to have nightmares tonight. No joke. The largest spider was able to get away (outside - thank GOD). I wonder when we will see him next?! Last year - I had one ride in on me into the house. I felt something on my leg and looked down and OH MY GOODNESS did I ever freak out. I could barely speak I was so afraid. I totally had a panic attack and started crying and I felt like I had spiders crawling on me all day. Not fun! I can handle seeing spiders from a distance, but I CANNOT handle them being on me and I am starting to have quite a bit of anxiety due to the numbers of them. Does anyone want to come over to our house soon? I doubt it!

On a lighter note, Murphy saved a super cute frog this morning. The frogs that live around our house seem to like to hide in our garage door - which could be deadly for them! Murphy found one as I was pulling out so I was able to get him to safety. He was a cutie - and very talkative. He croaked the entire time I was trying to find a suitable drop off spot. I had to get him far enough away from Murph so he didn't have him as a morning snack. Jason doesn't understand my desire to save the frogs when I see them. I think they are just so cute!
