So, you know when you see a really big spider and shivers go down your spine. Well, we had one of those living in our house.
I saw it in our kitchen window about a week ago, and due to it's fastness and the fact that I was tending Caleb, it got away. Well, actually it hid crouched in a nook looking at me --mocking my terror. Anyway, I left out some tissues and a stick I was going to try to use to kill it, but alas, it was gone when I got a chance.
So, for days (and nights) I dreaded the possible re-match. Until today ... at lunch time right about when Aaron comes home (yes!). There he sat big, black and furry. Looking at me with his crouched, pouncing mocking face. -Once again, I was tending Caleb. So, I called Aaron ... who was late leaving work for lunch (oh no) and then accepted a call from my Sister in Law. :)
15 minutes later when Aaron got home the kitchen spider was no where to be found. :( -Aaron checked the window, blew in some cracks (he's so brave) and slid the window back and forth.
Just when I was lamenting another possible show down I spotted him. On the tip-tip-top of the cabinets, walking on the ridge line was a big black MnM sized kitchen spider. I kindly pointed him out to Aaron who had to get up on a chair and then the cupboard to kill the villain.
-Even Aaron commented on his hugeness (validating my Ronald Weasley like fears). And finally finishing the showdown the kitchen spider was vanquished for good. :)

Sick!!! I do not do well with spiders - especially the big, hairy ones. I'm glad it's dead.
At least you had your husband I had one of those in my kitchen and had to kill it myself! I loved the movie Persuasion I got it for Christmas. And then I had to go and buy the movie Mansfield park witch was really good too! Your the one that go me going on the Jane Austin movies!!!
Glad to know the spider is gone! We had our house sprayed last year because Conrad was so small and I saw a spider in the house. I was worried there would be some in his room. Spiders and I....we are not friends.
Aaron your the Hero!!!!!!!
