I'm in the middle of putting caulk around our window when our bug guy calls to make an appointment. Once done, I get back up on the chair, start caulking, then I feel a tickling sensation on my hand. I look and there's a huge brown spider the size of at least a quarter right there on my hand!!!!! Naturally, I scream, fling my hands to get the spider off, hit the window with the caulk gun, and run off to get a shoe. I was able to kill it, but I still have that sensation on the back of my hand :shiver:! Once Tim gets home, I tell him what happened. The first thing he says is, "Too bad it didn't bite you  and you turn into Spider Woman." Then upon further reflection, he retracted his comment. It's definitely time for our bug guy to come!

I'm not a big fan of midnight shift. I get a little depressed at the beginning of them because I have to get used to Tim not being here during the night. And right now I'm having a hard time making myself go to bed with Tim gone. Thankfully, during this rotation, he's only working 2 of the 3 midnight work weeks. We have a good friend getting married back in KS and Tim is in the wedding party. So with all the wedding events Tim needs to be at he got the whole work week off! My mom is so happy since we'll be in town for 6 days. I haven't stayed that long in KS since I've moved out here 3 1/2 years ago!
On a completely different note, I hate having to discipline my kids.....well, Colleen doesn't really need it right now, so it's just Michael that's truly giving Tim and I a run for our money. I love my son and would die for him, but golly! what a stubborn, whiny child! I hope he channels that stubbornness into being a great leader some day, but right now I wish he'd cut it out. For him to look at me and say 'no!' so defiantly.....sigh. Now with Tim needing to sleep during the day it will make me sending Michael to his room for time out a lot harder since his room and ours share vents. Wouldn't it be so nice that the day he turns 3 (which is less than a month!) Michael's 'terrible twos' just magically disappears and he becomes a sweet little boy who hardly ever disobeys? If only it worked that way.
