Spiders, spider man, and pee, OH MY!

Figured that I might as well document my midnight escapades since I am now wide awake. Scott has been working graveyard shift these last couple weeks which has been hard on my beauty sleep since I am used to sleeping with his snores and his weird antics in the middle of the night where he thinks I am his Mom.

So tonight I have been trying to sleep since 11:30 and was just beginning to drift off into the land of crazy dreams where I rob banks in my spider man outfit and my Mom drives the getaway car when I hear Dennis calling for me.

So I drag myself away from the dream where my butt looks fantastic as I commit crime and go to my son who is laying at the foot of his bed and has wet the bed.

So I heave a huge sigh and go to the bathroom to start the bath for him. I go back for Dennis and bring him to the bathroom where he promptly points out a huge brown spider where my vulnerable feet were mere seconds before. Shudders.

Then Dennis becomes so scared of the spider even though I calmly tell him that the spider is more afraid of him than he is of it, that he literally gets the pee scared out of him.

So now I am standing here dealing with a huge spider which may or may not be poisonous and a pee filled floor and the bathtub is still running and Dennis is whimpering in the corner so I am trying to decide which to tackle first.

I think about how I could safely get the spider out the front door without endangering myself and I yield no answers that involve me not coming within 6 feet of that nasty thing so I obviously have to kill it.

 I retrieve the raid and spray it to death.

 Now I have pee and bug poison on the floor.

So I strip Dennis of his clothes and lift that 60 lb sack of sugar into the bathtub so he doesn't touch the poison or anything. I set myself to changing sheets, and then I dispose of the dead spider, and mop the floor several times before getting Dennis out of the bath and into fresh jammies and back into bed.  This whole process takes about 45 minutes.

Moment of silence for the spider.

Moment of silence for my sleep.

I will now spend the next hour or two trying to get back to the place where I look fantastic in my spider man outfit, since I don't have the normal snores and/or the yelling at me to get out of the room because he needs five more minutes before school from Scott to lull me to sleep.
