I hate bugs. I have stated that here. But I keep having run-ins with these repulsive, but necessary creatures!! Some blog worthy...others not. This story...is definitely blog worthy.
This begins probably around June of this year. I was in my living room and had some friends over, as well as my cousin, Gillian. She noticed a bug "hanging out" on some of the decor I had on my mantle, so I of course freaked out and couldn't even begin to think about how I was going to get this nasty thing out of my house. It was HUGE. About an inch long with long skinny legs. Its body was flat across and it had long antennae. BLAH!!! It was sick sick sick. I get the shivers just thinking about the thing.
ANYWAYS, so my cousin bravely picked up the thing that it was sitting on and managed to shake it off outside over the deck. Since then, I have been nervous about seeing this bug again. I have never in my life seen the like and really hoped I would leave this world never seeing it AGAIN!
Not so...
The kids came in and woke me up early this morning, it was probably about 6:45 and mildly dark. Mason, on occasion, sees a bit of lint and thinks it's a bug, so he said to me: "Mommy, there's a bug in your bed..." He said it kind of casually, so I figured it was the usual bit of lint, but then he looked over in the direction he was pointing to and made a face that was a cross between worry and disgust. That was a new development. Mason doesn't usually have a problem with bugs to begin with and he's never looked at lint like THAT before. So then I was worried...I leaned over and THERE IT WAS!!!!!! Just a foot and a half away from my pillow!!!!! Lurking in my bed. How long had it been in my bed?!?!?!? Did it crawl on me while I slept?!?!?!?!?! Ew!!! I will be forever plagued by these questions. Here it is, the precious little thing:

In comparison to a small glue stick.
And here in comparison to Ronan's hand.
Once again...I HATE BUGS! : P
