There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Spider

it wriggled, and jiggled, and tickled inside her....perhaps she'll die.

One little lesson I've learned as a mother, don't ever drink something without first checking the contents of the cup. ie. for floaties and what not. You never know what your children have done to a perfectly harmless glass of juice. Even if you just put it down a second ago. ALWAYS CHECK.
Here's the scoop. Yesterday I went in the kitchen to get a glass of bug juice. (That's green koolaid for those of you not sporting little tykes.) Ironically, I look at this now and the fact that I was drinking bug juice somehow seems so fitting. Odd that I hadn't thought of it before...Anyway, on to my story:
I picked up my glass that was sitting on the counter and poured myself some juice. Now, here is where I made the fatal mistake; I didn't check the glass before I started drinking (I know, I broke cardinal rule #1) So, here I am, drinking away. (Don't get grossed out just yet, it's not THAT bad. It happened yesterday, if it was THAT bad, I wouldn't be blogging about it until Friday.) I happen to glance down in my cup, mid gulp, and what do I see? You guessed it, a spider. A bug in my bug juice, if you will. Yep, that was fairly disgusting.

Of course I didn't keep drinking my drink people! I'm not that immune to the disgusting. Bleh!

When I think of what I could have swallowed had I not looked down...eegh! (I'm trying to figure out how to spell that throaty noise you make when you're about to throw up. I can't figure it out so you get eegh!) However, I guess, had I not known, no harm no foul....ew ew ew!
Now, I will have no comments telling me I eat thousands of spiders in my sleep. I WON'T HAVE IT!
Anyway, there you go. Your daily dose of gross, compliments of me.
(My kid just went Picasa on my computer desk and living room wall. Heaven bless the magic eraser. Needless to say, ...um bye.)

By the by, I just read through this and want you to know, I do not blame my children for the spider in my juice. They're a little too young for pranks like that. ...I hope...
