MONSTER in the basement

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I just went down to the basement to be the "good girl" and work out. I was totally ready to run...I had my water, my ipod, and I'd even remembered to put on my deodorant. I went through my stretching routine and felt ready to start, but...as I slowely lowered the treadmill, much to my dismay, I glanced over to into the corner next to me and there sat a gigantic BLACK WIDOW spider!!!!! OHHH that gross thing was just sitting there looking all innocent, but I knew better! I guess my sub-conscious thought that if I could scream loud enough It would just fall over dead, becasue that is just what I did . My two boys came barreling down the stairs along with my oldest sons friend to see what was the matter. All I could do was stand there and point and mumble out s-p-i-d-e-r! My boys were, of course, concerned about the beast and so as the Mother I decided that I needed to show some bravery and deal with the monster. So, i sent them for the broom. There I stood with nerves of steel, flashlight ready, the broom poised to deliver the deadly blow. The next seconed found me standing on my good friend and neighbors doorstep, begging for her husband to come over and deliver me from the evil demon that was lurking in the basement. Luckily for me he came and killed the horrible creature but the damage had already been done, cause here I sit typing on my computer, too afraid to go back down to the basement and start my run. Maybe tomorrow I will move the treadmill upstairs.
