This is what I found on the family room ceiling. Actually, the kids discovered it and told me to get rid of it. Yeah right!! I called Jason and was going to have him come home from work to deal with it...there was no way on this green earth that I was going to get withing 10 feet of the huge (size of a silver dollar) creepy crawly bugger. Well Jason was in a meeting and didn't answer his phone!!! So I weighed my options...leave the house or "me vs. it"!!! I got a plastic pitcher and a piece of cardboard and began to approach the spider. I swear to you it reared back like it was going to jump on me. I screamed which started the kids screaming...yeah yeah yeah all funny now. I got up on the back of the couch...leave it to Joshie to remind me we don't stand on the furniture like that, and surrounded the spider with the mouth of the pitcher. I then slid the cardboard between the ceiling and the top of the pitcher. Again, more screaming. I then ran outside and dumped the spider over the fence...sorry Scott!!! Why, you ask, did I not kill the spider...can you imagine the awful crunching noise a spider that size would make. GAG GAG GAG!!! Now I am wondering did this spider come to visit alone or is there a spider family reunion going on somewhere in my home...I am going to sleep well tonight!! Snakes...spiders...voles...what's next??!!spider noun, a bug that uses threads from its body to make a web to capture insects
