One night around 1:00 a.m., Doug realized the electric was still off and thought it would be smart to unplug the refrigerator so that our invertor could keep the fans running for several more hours. The thought came to him to turn on the light before he went downstairs just in case something would be on the steps. He was glad he gave in to this thought when he saw this tarantula waiting on the steps! If he hadn't turned on the light, he could have bumped the tarantula and it could have bitten him or given him a good scare. This thing was huge. It's body was about the size of a mouse. Doug heroically sneaked by the tarantula to get the broom and successfully killed it. I didn't get back to sleep for 2 hours after this episode took place. Can't imagine why.

That's brave. I totally understand not sleeping for awhile afterwards. I would have "slept" with the lights on and sitting up - just to make sure there were no tarantula family members out for revenge! :)

UGH! That's scary! We had one last night, (check out my blog), but it hadn't made it in the house yet. Thank the Lord!
