A step by step guide to doing laundry on a Thursday
October 23, 2008
- Go into your laundry room ready tackle a load of darks
- Begin sorting the clothes in the basket completely unaware that everything is about to go wrong from here
- Reach in for a black sock and begin screaming like a maniac
- Look into the basket to see a 3 foot centipede (okay, so maybe it wasn’t 3 feet long but it was huge)
- Drop everything and run out of the laundry room
- Go back to slam the door shut
- Hyperventilate for 10 minutes in the kitchen
- Start thinking rationally, it’s just a bug, you’re much bigger than him, it’s more scared of you than you are of it ( I highly doubt that)
- Continue thinking rationally, put on rubber gloves, grab a shoe and a bottle of Lysol spray
- Start taking out the clothes one by one, we do this by not actually stepping into the room, just leaning in and holding the piece of clothing by a single strand
- Proceed to spray the piece of clothing with the Lysol spray for a good 10 minutes hoping it will scare the bug out if it is inside ( I wonder what effect Lysol spray has on cotton)
- Continue to do this with two more pieces of clothing before getting the heebie jeebies again
- Drop everything on the floor, shut the door and call your husband
- Inform him that he has a load of laundry to do when he comes back from work.

Eebie Jeebies is right! Yucky!
Hillarious!!!! – exactly what I would have done! We have spiders here the size of my fist… they make my skin crawl. I cover them with a paper towel and a bowl and tell my husband to deal with them when he gets home!
