The Spider Hunter

SO last night at 2:30 I awoke to feed Cohen. We were going to try a bottle to Jayne could sleep. I went to put him on the guest bed to get him ready to be changed, and in the dark and saw a huge spider run across the bed right under Cohen. I quick moved Cohen and changed him and got some Kleenex to smunch the thing. I wussed out and it ran under some bags on the bed. I then found the thing and tried to spray it because well I was scared and needed my mom to kill it (a past occasion that happened many of times). Well i sprayed and it ran under the bed. With Keith and Shannon coming into town tomorrow, i needed to find this stupid thing thinking it was in the sheets or something. I didn't find it and well now the sheets are washed....and taken of the bed.
Finally I find it on the wall, I run to get a towel to kill the punk and what do you know. He's gone. Dang!
Now the bed is ripped apart all sheets are off the mattress is off and I can't find the dumb thing. Mean while Jayne is up feeding Cohen when she was supposed to be sleeping bc I am being Steve Irwin finding the beut. Finally I look in the wheel of the bed frame and I see 2 legs sticking out! Got him. Hair spray in hand I aim and shoot! out he comes. I grunt close my eyes and SMUNCH!
I got him. this only lasted and hour and 15 minutes.

Oh my gosh, Brad, this story made me laugh out loud - so hilarious!!!! I would've liked to have been a fly on the wall to watch this whole ordeal at 2:30 in the morning - oh, wait, I don't think I would've wanted to be a fly on the wall b/c you would have come after me next! ;-) You're a good dad for wanting to save Cohen from that mean, nasty spider.
