This is what I found in our bathroom yesterday. A baby Black Widow spider. I had Joey in her bouncy seat on the floor, Shelby in the bathtub, and I was in the shower. I stepped out, picked up my towel, and went to the sink to grab my hairbrush. My spidey sense went off and I turned around, and there, on the rug outside the shower, I spotted the most creeptastic looking spider. Ok, maybe not the MOST creeptastic. That title belongs to the tarantula we found outside the garage last year. Anyway, I knew instantly what kind of spider it was. The hourglass shape was very visible. I tried to get a picture of it on my phone, but it came out pretty blurry, and I didn't want to sit there taking picture after picture and risk it running after one of us.
I have to say I think I handled the situation like a pro, especially compared to the other day when I went outside to water the herbs and a spider ran out from the flower pot. I calmly got some toilet paper and let it crawl onto it. Then I flushed that bad boy. A couple of times. I am still scared to use that bathroom though. If this was a BABY black widow, where's it's mama? And is she plotting some sort of revenge on me for flushing her child?
I called the bug guys this morning.

I have no words...blech. Like super seriously awfully blech. I'm glad you flushed that bad boy several times. He deserved it!
Oh my...I would have screamed and smacked it over and over with a shoe! I am very impressed with how you handled it so calmly! Yes, get those bug guys over there and keep those two little muchkins free of spider bites!
