I Hate Them!

I am talking about bugs. I hate them.

First, the spiders are back. Found two of them yesterday crawling around my house. The second one when I tried to get him hung off my finger and had me screeching and dropping him as fast as I could while I jumped five feet back.

Second, I think my daughter had a tick in her scalp that she pulled out yesterday. Her environmental group planted trees a few days ago on Earth Day and a couple of the kids picked up ticks. I checked her but obviously I missed something. GRRRR!!! She was too freaked out when she felt something on her scalp and just tossed the dang thing so I can't know for sure it was a tick but it was burrowed into her skin and left a bloody mark behind. So I am watching the spot for a rash and will be calling her pediatrician tomorrow.

Third, I am sitting here on my laptop this morning and feel something fall into the top of my shirt. I am thinking it is another spider so I check out the cleavage and there is a bug there that had jumped down my shirt. It's not a spider though. I grab it with my fingers (ewwww!) and am going to put it in a tissue to look at it when it jumps out from between my fingers. He got away. I couldn't find him. I don't know what it was but I know it definitely wasn't a flea. Maybe the tick my daughter tossed yesterday? I didn't think so but I don't know. The only ones I've seen are online.

The bugs are back. Spring is here. I HATE bugs.
