Drinking With Spiders

I’ve said it before

And I’ll say it again —

Living in a remodel

Is not for Sissies!

Pin for later

First off, let me tell you something about me and breakfast —

I’m not a big breakfast eater.

You can have your omelets and french toast.

And your bacon, ham and potatoes.

Scrambled eggs? No thank you.

Cereal? I don’t think so.

I am a pancake girl.

Pancakes are my go-to favorite breakfast.

I make a batch of 12 to 14 whole wheat pancakes on Saturday and I freeze them so I can enjoy them for rest of the week.

Every morning, around 9:30, I take 2 out of the freezer, nuke them for about a minute, pour on the pure maple syrup, and add a side of turkey sausage.

Then I pour a big glass of icy cold milk.

Now I’m good to go.

So the other day

I had just finished my lovely breakfast of 2 pancakes with a side of sausage and my frosty glass of milk

When I saw it…

It was on my last swig of milk

When the glass was almost empty

And the bottom was exposed…

There he was.

He was inside his sac so it kept him stuck to the bottom of my glass while I was drinking.

And of course I hadn’t seen him the whole time he was in there because

Well, you can’t see through milk!

I gotta tell ya,

The pancakes weren’t sitting too well at this point…

What is it with me and spiders?

Why do they feel the need to get so up-close and personal with me??

A few years ago, I had a black widow dangling in front of my face while we painted our house (you can read about that HERE)

Oh, and in case you were wondering —

We thoroughly cleaned the cabinets inside and out when we moved in

And the glass had just been washed in the dishwasher and put away in the cupboard the day before.

So I guess we better hurry up and get the kitchen renovated

‘Cause I have no idea what else could decide to move into those 1960s cabinets…

Like I said,

Living in a remodel

Definitely is not for Sissies!
