Unlucky or Lucky?





Friday night I went to scrapbook w/my regular group and as I was rummaging around in my bag a black widow spider crawled out! I just happened to see her as she ran up over my folders I saw the red on her back. (My entire bag is black so it's a miracle I spotted her before she bit me) All of gals gathered around and killed the spider w/a rubber mallet and then we took all my stuff outside and emptied it out and looked it over to make sure there were no more creepy crawlies in there. I've since decided not to keep my bag in the garage - lesson learned!
This morning I'm outside pruning some of my plants and bumped into a decorative birdhouse that some red wasps have decided to call home. Well out they came and one right after me. Both the boys were outside so I got JT to go in and thankfully JW was far away from them but one had it in for ME. He kept chasing me and I was swatting him off and then he got me right on the palm of my hand! OUCHHHHHHH!!!!!
It hurts SO bad. My palm is so swollen and it hurts to type, but I had to tell my story! I've put baking soda paste on it, iced it, and taken a benedryl tablet so I've got my bases covered but it still HURTS! Did I say it HURTS? Because it HURTS! Next time I go to Wal-Mart I'm going to get some spray and 86 those little bastards! Die Wasps Die!
