Picture This

It is 12:15 am and a very tired and exhausted wife and mom is peacefully sleeping in her bed. She is suddenly startled by a loud vacuum right by her head. She sits up, confused, and says some not very nice things to her husband who had just returned home from basketball with an old friend from Kansas. He turns the vacuum off and peers into their closet and then says some not very nice words himself. Apparently there was a large spider on the wall in the closet. . . too large to smash with one of the hundreds of shoes that are on the racks in there, and apparently that spider had was also startled by the vacuum noise and hid itself. Have it ever been mentioned that this husband is terrified of spiders? This now very annoyed wife told the husband to just shut the closet door, put the vacuum away, and get in bed. He was ready to head for the couch. So his now grouchy wife got out of bed, found the spider, sucked it up with the vacuum and crawled back in bed. Then she laid there starring at the ceiling for two hours because she couldn't go back to sleep, all the while her scaredy-cat husband was snoozing away next to her.

Yeah, can you picture that? I sure can.
