Spider Sitting

I have lost my mind.  Lost it.  There are very few things in this world that creep me out more than spiders.  Seriously.  I have had many a ninja style battle on my front porch with black widow spiders. (Long story short, there apparently is a black widow nest under our porch.  It's super fun.)  Anyway bottom line, not a spider fan. 

Rosie

Imagine my surprise when I find myself volunteering to spider sit for my dear mother-in-law.  She's been in Texas for a while and the kids and I have been watering plants and visiting with her house every so often.  Well, I went into the extra room one day and discovered a very thirsty Rosie.  I'd not even thought of her once.  Poor thing.  I know, it's weird to think too.  So home with us she came.



We can keep a better eye on her water and food this way.  I figure she'll earn her keep by educating my sweet children who are totally fascinated with her.  We're going to watch her eat crickets later.  Ugh.  Not sure how much I love her watching me drink my coffee though.  Or that whole cricket thing.



Enjoy your breakfast :)

    Ugh...lucky you! Actually, Rosie's never been any trouble when I've been around...not that I did anything for her.

    It's only trouble so far when it comes to putting crickets in there. NOT doing that! One of the boys will have to.

    Not a big fan of spiders either! But you're so kind to babysit! I hope you check to make sure Rosie is INside her home every day! I would! You should Google the "huntsmen" spiders in Australia. They can get as large as a house wall clock. Yuck!

    Oh. My. Gosh. J those are the most disgusting spiders! I hope those are no where near you guys as it would make it much harder for me come to visit.
