spiderssss

Every one of our apartment windows has one (or two!!!) of these horrible things living in it, between the screen and the glass.  The biggest ones of all are about the size of a dime, and live in the boys' windows.

While it is a little cool seeing them up-close, it is also super horrifying and I want them all dead.  According to the internets they are some variety of jumping spider, which means opening the window is NOT an option because I'm afraid they will jump into the house and attack me.  My fear of spiders is a touch irrational.

Tyler started a new job this week, working as a legal clerk.  While I'm very happy that he found something that pays well and looks good on a resume, I am less happy that it is a half-hour commute away.  During rush hour, that half-hour becomes a good hour real quick.  That means that, even though he works 8-5, he's gone 7-6 just like he was for his externship.  For super pregnant wifey, those extra two hours are too much!  Also, it means that he isn't close by if something (like labor) happens suddenly.  I know lots of people live with commuting husbands, but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

We all caught some sort of horrible sore throat cold.  TJ has been so miserable.  Last night I went in to hold him around 9 and he fell asleep in my arms.  I can't remember the last time that happened, but it was probably when he was less than 2 months old.  It was just light enough that I could see his face, and I held him for a good half hour before I could bring myself to lay him down.  I so love being a mom.
