Please take your tea party elsewhere.
While Isabel and even Gabe enjoyed your books for awhile, and even your show, we do NOT like for you to bring your friends over to our humble abode.
Not every spider is as cute and friendly as you are.
And for some reason (the weather change, perhaps?), every spider in the midwestern region seems to think that our house is suddenly the place to be.
Don't get me wrong; I appreciate the hard work you all do in my garden, keeping the pesky bugs at bay. I enjoy looking at a beautiful web, admiring the talent it took to achieve that utter perfection.
What I DON'T enjoy is stumbling upon a hairy, eight-legged creature stealthily crawling on my wall or ceiling. Especially in my bedroom, or that of my kids. Do you not get the sense that you're unwelcome by the fearful shrieks or the shoes being thrown at your head?
Seriously, take a hint...
This house is closed to all arachnids for the season. Come back in March, and we'll talk.
Sincerely,
Miss Heather

We have a spider that is the MOTHER OF ALL SPIDERS outside our youth trailer at church... I've NEVER seen anything like it! They dont bother me but I dont want to get my finger next to that baby EVER... especially if I want to keep said finger!
After I have offed an offending spider, I kindly explain to its little spirit that it needs to visit friends and family before ascending to spider heaven and explain to them that they will achieve the same fate if they come into my house. That's just the way it is.
Julia's cracking me up... 'cause I do (sort of) the same thing! After squashing one, I always think "see, if you had just stayed OUTSIDE where you belong, you'd still be alive right now, stupid spider!"
Speaking of insects... Michaela has to bring a bug to school tomorrow (they're reading some book on bugs) Um... I think this assingment would be a lot easier done in the SPRING when the bugs are plentiful! I have no idea what kind of bug they expect her to find this time of year (she's not allowed to bring spiders, bees, wasps, flies...)
Whenever I see a spider or walk through a web, I try to remind myself that they do a fine job of eating all of the bugs I like even less, like mosquitoes, and to leave them alone. It's hard, though. The little black hairy ones are so fast and just scare the jeepers out of me.
