So there we were in all our pioneer girl glory, hanging out, getting things done, when along came a spider, to quote the old nursery rhyme.

Rosie saw the spider first – and she screamed – “Mom – give me your shoe!”

I whipped off my Croc in record time and handed it to her – she took one step forward then one step back shaking her head in horror.

I peered around her and screamed myself.  Apparently, huge hairy enormous spiders can hear because that spider jumped when I screamed.  Inspiring us both to scream again.  We screamed so hard that we had to hold hands and jump up and down and scream!

In the Pioneer Chicks Moving to the Boondocks Guidebook, there was nothing about spiders but no one told THIS creature that he or she was breaking the rules by invading my home!

I’ve never seen a spider that freakin’ big and hairy outside of a terrarium! According to friends attempting to calm me down after the fact, this was a “Wolf Spider”.  (Even the name of it is terrifying!)
So, with Pioneer Chick ingenuity, Rosie grabbed the bleach.  I dumped a quarter gallon of bleach on it and while it was writhing in spider agony (I feel slightly guilty) I pounded the crap out of it with my pink and black Croc spider-slaying device.
Here’s a close-up.  Swear on my life, 3-4 inches across!
Spider friends, be warned – ZERO TOLERANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
