I need SpiderMan

Mr. Tex had a late night at work and so I spent the day at a friends house. My kids were such troopers as I packed them up at midnight to go home and put them to bed. Mr. Tex still had a few hours left before he could come home so I had a sleepover with Sunshine. I put her in my bed and tucked her in. She quickly got up and was obviously upset about something but I soon figured out she was talking about a bug. Last time she complained about a "box" (bug) I told her to keep eating her food. She wouldn't stop complaining and as I leaned over and peered into her bowl I saw a big bug in her oatmeal. I am beginning to take her seriously when she says something. 4th of July was another example of when I should've taken her seriously. I had just taken her potty and we were outside playing in the sprinklers and she began to say she needed to use the potty again. I brushed the request aside and put her on my lap and subsequently was peed on. Tonight's story is about a bug. I recognized her word "Box" (bug) from the oatmeal incident and decided to humor her. I lifted the blanket and sure enough there was a big spider that ran directly towards Sunshine. She screamed "Aaaahh the bad guy" as I hoisted her little body to the floor. The spider had now burrowed in my sheets and needed to be hunted down. As I unfolded the sheets the spider was detected and it raced away from me. I don't recall the last time I had to kill a spider.....wait a minute about 5 minutes ago in my bathroom but I was able to use a shoe. Now I needed to use a tissue because I was not about to splatter a spider on my blankets and who knows how hard I would have to wack it in order to smash it against the soft mattress. I was unwilling to crush it with a thin tissue between me and it so I flicked it to the floor and then smashed it with a shoe. I really needed Spiderman tonight but I am stronger and braver now. It took some convincing to persuade Sunshine to sleep in mommy's bed after this.

PS I got on to post a tidbit about Olive Garden and posted this whole thing because it was so funny and I am a bit nervous thinking what else could be lurking in my sheets so I am postponing the inevitable....bed time. For my fellow alfredo lovers who enjoy the side order of alfredo dipping sauce for their breadsticks for the price of $3ish. Yesterday I found out you can order a full pint of the stuff for $5.25. It's like 3-4 times the amount for a lot cheaper. My world is changed. Pass it on.
