The Itsy Bitsy Spider....

It must be that time of year when spiders just want to be inside, and the twins are just like me and can spot even the smallest little spider in the room. Unfortunately (for me) since I'm older than they are, I have to be the one to kill the spiders. For those of you who don't know me very well, I am TERRIFIED of spiders, I'm talking can't breath, need to leave the area type of fear. Today was a hard day because there were spiders everywhere...
The day started out like usual, get the girls dressed, start making breakfast and head down starts to play. When we get downstairs immediately Ellie says "Hey Leah come here, I want to show you something!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me over to the corner of the wall and there it was...a SPIDER!!! (Just a couple feet away from where we found another spider just a day or two before) It was curled up in a ball, so I calmly told the girls it was dead and walked away. But, the girls are a lot smarter than to believe that so they started blowing on it. "LEAH LEAH LEAH GET IT IT'S NOT DEAD ITS ALIVE!!" Once i got back over to the corner there i say the ugly thing, alive as can be. Sidney kept yelling "KILL IT LEAH KILL IT!!!" And Ellie kept on saying "Its okay Sidney, Leah will get it". What faith huh? So I guess the only thing i had to do was actually kill it. Ellie followed me into the bathroom to get a HUGE amount of toilet paper while Sidney stayed by to keep an eye on the spider. It was a big one and I was so scared and really didn't want to get near the ugly thing. The girls must have sense my fear, because the next thing I know I hear Ellie say "Here, hold my hand Leah!!" I look over and the girls are both holding hands looking at me as if I were their only hope and both reached out a hand for my to hold. So with one hand holding both their hands and another I killed it (screaming of course) and QUICKLY ran to the bathroom to flush it down the toilet! -Girls followed of course! Yes it was scary, but hearing both the girls say/sing "Bye bye Spider, GOOD JOB LEAH you did it!" made the whole experience all worth while!!
Oh but the stories not done yet! We then head up stairs after a couple of hours to start up lunch, when Gwynne (their mom) informs me that she saw a spider on the ceiling upstairs and it somehow went missing! OOOH great!! So for the next hour all the girls were concerned about was finding the spider.."Come here spider, where are you spider?" I'm thinking...NO I DON'T WANT TO SEE ANOTHER SPIDER, but it would be nice to find it and kill it so I know its dead! I'm sad to say...we still have yet to find that spider.....eeek!!
