In the Interest of Science & Morning Sickness Flashbacks

Let me start by saying I had HORRIBLE morning sickness; or as I like to call it the flu for first 6 months of the pregnancy.  There was a smell in our Zimmerman kitchen that drove me to the sink, toilet, or even the deck just over the railing...if you know what I mean. During my pregnancy with Ticiana I steared clear of the kitchen. Nathan never seemed to smell it but pregnant women have the nose of a blood hound and we could sniff out an armpit missing deoderant 5 miles away so DON'T TELL ME it was all in my head!!!!!!

 Excuse me. I am getting all worked up over things past. Anyway I blame my current circumstance, for me getting all worked up again, because somehow and someway that same smell found me here... just 4 years later. This smell has driven me to cleaning and disinfecting EVERYTHING and now I have requested the big guns; that's right Nathan is going to be bringing home the sander so I can sand down the butcher block and re-seal it. The smell has got to go because I am having severe morning sickness flashbacks and I can't go back there I just can't Can't...CAN'T!!!!!!!

Moving along...it was time to build a fort!

Now, a few weeks ago, I posted on Facebook that I had an unhappy chance meeting of a little frog, in my bathroom. Well, that frog was never found, but this frog was hiding under our umbrella.

The question still remains: Is this the offending frog or are there others?

Comment of the day by Daivia Towell: "Is that a poopy diaper?"

Me: "Yes."

Daivia: "Oh! Well, I don't want to eat it because it tastes yucky."

Me: "Lord help me."

As my mom would say "How cheery!"

Now you may not be prepared for what you are about to read so...PREPARE YOURSELF!!!

I have always wanted to see a spider capture its prey and today I got my wish! I heard an unusual sound of wings buzzing rapidly and I quickly got up to investigate the noise only to discover a fly was caught not by a web but by the spider himself. And in the interest of science I ran and grabbed my camera to capture this moment I have waited so long to see!

WARNING: Material may be too graphic for those under a specific age.

 

I am sorry that the picture's are not very bright. Notice in the bottom picture that the spider had killed the fly and is dragging it back to it's lair. 

As fascinating as this was to finally see; I have a moral objection to any known spider staying alive in my house. 

So I killed it! BOOYA!!!!
