Aaagh! Get it off! Get it off! Get it off!

Well, up until about 15 min ago, I was out on my deck enjoying the beautiful Texas sunshine. Then, out of nowhere, I hear a buzzing sound and look up from the book I was reading. I felt something on my leg and peered over the top of my book and had to restrain myself from getting up and screaming and making a huge fuss. There was a giant yellow/brown/black WASP crawling on my leg!

I sit there, barely breathing and not daring to move in case he decides to sting me, for a few moments until he decides there's nothing he wants from my leg and flys off under the deck. I come inside and I am NOT going back out there until DH checks to make sure there are NO wasp nests under the eaves or even under the deck (since I saw him, the wasp not DH , fly under one of the boards).

God I hate wasps. They freak me out.

ICK!!! I hate them too.

My husband is terrified of spiders..and he found one crawling on his pillow the other night. I didn't think he was going to ever get to sleep. Taught him not to leave the windows open though.

Spiders don't bother me. In fact, I encourage spiders to take up residence around our yard because they help keep the populations of other bad bugs like mosquitos and ants down.

Sorry, TOV, not to be unkind or anything but the idea of a really really pregnant girl dashing into the house gave me a picture of chairs flying and things bouncing outta the way.

Perhaps this will convince James to make his debut - a little shakin up might do the trick, ya think?

LOL...I didn't think of it that way, goofy.

Good news is...I found a can of anti-bee spray under one of the cabinets and I'm going back out there. If I see that wasp, I'm spraying him and getting the hell outta the way so he doesn't attempt to sting me as he is dying.

I hope you're not going to play with insecticides if you're pregnant..??

I took the can with me, but since I didn't see the wasp, I guess I'm still safe. I did sit out there and even dragged the chair out into the grass to 'follow the sun' for about an hour or so and now it's too shady and cool in my yard to sit out there anymore. Oh well..there's always tomorrow.

Hopefully with less wasp sightings than today!

YIKES! I am allergic and that would totally freak me out!

If that would have been me and I was in your condition, my water would have been GONE!
