Cute Guest on Mother’s Day

Home Life, Paw Prints - 7 Comments » - Posted on May, 10 at 7:20 pm

Mother’s Day was a simple affair this year. Instead of a cake, I made my mom a Danish Creme Cheese Twist, a card that sadly made her cry, and some new cds and decor for her office. It was completely lacking in extravagance I’m afraid. No all-expense paid trips, road tripping in an rv, tickets to an upcoming show – nada. I short on funds this year so I went with the “it’s the thought that counts” route.

Word of advice, when you’re broke don’t read blog entries about a holiday. Some of the things people will be able to do will make you feel even worse. :(

There was a death in the family recently too, in fact, tonight’s the Rosary (Wake) so that put a damper on the celebratory mood as well.

Interestingly enough, there was someone else who wanted to wish my mom a Happy Mother’s Day too:

Somehow Mom didn’t seem too thrilled to see this guy sitting on the towel rack. She has arachnophobia and tends to go into mild hysterics whenever she sees a spider and this guy was kinda big.

I thought he was kinda cute looking myself, and he was pretty big too. About half the size of a dollar bill with the majority of that length being made up by his legs.

Alas, mom did not share my opinion and ordered that this guy be put to death on account of the fact that he has eight legs and is an arachnid. Since it was Mother’s Day I complied despite wishing to relocate him outside. So at 6:30pm poor Mr. Wolf Spider was executed promptly and without prejudice. He was given a quick funeral and buried at sea.

Translation: He was squished to death and flushed down the toilet. :(

    OMG that is a scary spider. Looks like a fiddleback, so I would have Raid-ed him immediately just in case. I think it’s sweet to do something small together, Mother’s day doesn’t have to be this big extravagant thing every year.

    I am glad that you and your Mom had a nice Mother’s Day together. I am sorry about the death in your family. That is a big spider. I’m sorry that your Mom wouldn’t let you relocate him outside, though.
