Well, we are here, where we are. It was a long trip down, but went pretty well! We have dual DVD players for the boys, and I don’t recommend traveling long distances any other way. (Well, unless you can afford to fly.)
So now that we are here, I have to say that my fear of spiders has been a bit amplified. We are in brown recluse country, and I had my uncle show me one so I knew what they looked like. You know, so I can AVOID them. You might like to know how he was able to actually show me a real, well, dead, brown recluse. Well, there are little sticky bug boxes to catch all kinds of pesky insects around the baseboards of their house. The boxes have been pretty successful and caught lots of these little spiders, and that is how I was able to see one. Eew. I know. So…since then, I have frequently had the “heebie-jeebies” and imagined there are various bugs crawling up my pant leg and so on. I think I preferred the comfort I felt before I knew how common these things were here and before I actually saw one.
