Welcome

Welcome to my little world! My name is Donna and I'm the mother of one very spoiled kitty named Clarice. I was a banker for over 20 years but now I'm a SAHM and loving every minute of it. I'm a super, huge Bon Jovi fan and an avid cross stitcher. I love decorating my home with flea market finds, primitive style items and vintage items. My hubby says if the last three generations threw it out as trash it'll end up in our house as a decoration.

Day 7 and things I'm most afraid of.....

Well this one wasn't a hard subject at all to write about......I'm deathly afraid of spiders!  Doesn't matter how tiny or how big they are, they all terrify me.  I can't even see one on tv without freaking out.  I used to have a reoccurring nightmare as a kid that a giant spider lived up in our attic and could shoot a web straight down from the pull down stair area to capture it's food aka me!  I wouldn't even walk under that area and still even as an adult won't pull the stairs down myself.  Since those said stairs have been located in several of my master bedroom closets, I have conquered my fear out of necessity of walking underneath them but I still refuse to pull the stairs down....ever! 
I know it's not a rational fear and the chances of a spider biting me much less eating me are slim it's still gonna stop my heart from beating out of my chest or keep the screams from coming out of my mouth.  It's really bad when Mark is gone and I see a spider.  I've been known to go get a neighbor to kill it for me no matter what time of day or night.  There's no just ignoring it for me because then it could go into hiding, get bigger and eat me when I least expect it. 

So what scares you the most?

  1. Spiders are my biggest irrational fear. I'm ok with the little ones, or ones that live in a web, because they stay in the web and I'll always know where they are. But I am unfortunate enough to live in a rain forest, which means supersize bugs, including spiders. We get huge ones here, and they roam. I've woken up more than once with a huge spider crawling up my arm - which is a terrible way to wake up from a dead sleep, let me tell you!
    Right now I have a lovely black cat who is the killer of spiders. If there is one in the house, he won't rest until he's got it.
    But yeah, I'm with you on the spider fear. (If you dare, google "giant house spider" those are the suckers we get here)

  4. my great fear too, and although people say they are more frightened of us, I do not believe it for a moment!! I hate them all, whatever size, although we dont get them too big over here in UK, they are big enough for me... I hate them all.. I am sure I will have a heart attack from dealing with them one day... until then, I stay away from them as much as I can.. hoover them up, or kill them.. yikes.. J
