Lets just say this week has been quite an adventure...

Last night little ol' me was wondering around my front yard around midnight (Don't ask, don't tell)

I was just fiddling around~ And screamed at every cockroach I saw >>

And there was this bag of stuff on the side of my house

I figured maybe it was just a bag of leaves my grandma didn't have the chance to throw out so...

I lifted the bag (away from the wall) and you wouldn't believe what I saw...

A BLACK WIDOW SPIDER!!

Thats right! At first I freaked out and put the bag back against the wall...

And then I lifted it again just to make sure it was a black widow spider... And it was >o<

So I figured maybe I should leave it I mean after all it eats roaches...

And we have a slight roach problem so I figured I'd leave it because it could help us~

And at that same moment I was thinking about Charlotte's Web have you guys ever read that book?

Very heartbreaking and wonderful whee

So I figured leave it alone

I went inside and told my Mom. Now she doesn't know what a black widow spider is but I told her it was poisonous and stuff >>

And I also told her leave it alone its gonna eat roaches for us~ :3

Then I told my sister and she had a heart attack... And screamed >.<

She said "We have to get rid of it! Are you out of your mind?! Its poisonous!! It could kill one us when were not careful"

So she went out with me to look for it... And became skeptical because she didn't see it

Then I lifted the bag back and she screamed some more >>

So she went on her computer to find out how to kill it

When we were looking at it she noticed it had eggs...

Now I felt really bad and I said we shouldn't kill it >.<

I realize the venom from the spider could kill us in about 24 hours and all but meh...

(Just a side note I've killed lots of bugs in my life and some of them were pregnant... I felt really bad but it had to be done ;~;

The first was a fly, then a cockroach and to add to the list.. A black widow spider...)

She said that we have to grab lots of bug spray!

And gear up! Loose clothing and you have to be covered from toe up to your waist!

I thought this was kind of fun but my sister was freaking out >>

I guess she really didn't want us to get harmed ^^;;

So we geared up and grabbed the bug spray and got ready to go into battle! (?!)

So we creeped out side and lifted the bag slowly...

And sprayed the crap out of the web!

My sister said that even its web is poisonous so be careful!

(That was a also a warning to you readers out there!!)

The site we were looking at said that if there were eggs you have to saturate it with the bug spray!

So after drowning the poor spider... And its sack of eggs ;~;

I was staring at it and noticed it was still twitching...

So my sister said she would feel better if she could bag it up and toss it!

I said we could go Shrek style on it~

(I was just trying to put humor into the horrid situation... She didn't like the joke but liked the idea~)

Do you guys remember in the first ever Shrek movie that there was this one part where Shrek and Fiona were walking around the forest on a date (Er sort of date?)

And they were kind of impressing each other and what ever

And I think is was Fiona... She grabs a stick and twirls up every spider web she saw and caught the flies that were annoying Shrek

And I guess to Ogres it was pretty much cotton candy~

So I told my sister "Let's go Shrek style!"

I grabbed a twig and she grabbed a bag

We went back out and she twirled it up

And despite the situation... I was craving cotton candy :Q

Then she put the twirled up web in the bag... And said the spider was still alive >>

And then I said we should double bag and she did

And then she said there's a chance the eggs weren't affected by the spray

And then I told her triple bag it!

And she did... I also told her that we should put a sign in there in case some hobo decides to open it ^^;;

The sign is suppose to say "Caution: Black Widow Spider"

She even asked me how to spell widow...

She said that she kept trying to put a "n" in it xD

"Window? Really?"

"... Shut up"

And before we threw it out she said why cant we just burn it instead?

I said it cant be safe since we just covered it in CHEMICALS!

So she threw it in the dumpster and after that we were both really paranoid of the entire house...

Later before we went to bed (At 2 in the morning)

I said "Why couldn't we have just stepped on it?"

"... Oh well"

"Well sis, were heroes~"

"What ever"

;~;

And thats my story from last night~

I sincerely hope your night was better o.o;;

And if you ever see a black widow spider make sure you kill it!

Or if you don't know what your doing (and you didn't learn anything from this >> wink Make sure you look up how!!

Thanks for reading~ And always be aware of your surroundings!
