Okay....I am 31 yo and I admit it I am a BIG BABY!!! DH is TDY to Alabama for 3 weeks for training to be an ROTC instructor and I told him this would happen........ Maybe I should preface this with a little history:
1994 - Married Dh, living in apartment complex off-base
1995 - DH goes TDY for 1 month + --- THE SILVERFISH INVASION -- have to have apartment bombed -- 2 times
1997 - Living on Base now -- DH leaves for 1 year remote assignment to Saudi - leaves me with dog and cat -- Here's the rundown of that year.....
1)beatles invasion the basement(no, Ringo wasnt there)- cat has her way with them
2) Woodroaches invade masterbedroom because DH didnt seal window up after he put in AC in window - problem solved
3) Spider's nest hatches on second story - literally hundreds of baby spiders parachuting from ceiling (pest control guys on base now think I am nuts --- so I call DH's boss to come physicially see it for himself at 9 pm!)
and finally, #4, for which we thank the cat......she stays out all night and brings me an ENTIRE litter of dead, baby squirrels who dont even have fur yet!!! We're talking 6 of them!!!
Are you getting the picture.....DH on TDY = some sort of infestation for me.....
SO, Flash forward back to today!!!!
THE SPIDERS KNOW HE IS GONE!!!!
I have a deathly, paralyzing fear of spiders.....I made him buy me several bottles of insecticide so that I would survive these 3 weeks!!! He's been gone 3 days and I was doing good, even getting cocky and then a GIANT large, possibly man-eating spider in the basement! YIKES!!! I sprayed HIM to DEATH!!! By the way....my dog, love him to death is useless! I miss when we had the cat...she would play with them and kill them! Never had any spiders then.
I guess I just needed to verbalize this fear and figured if I called my mom she would just laugh at me!
Anyone hate spiders as much as me??
