What To Do...

...when there is a giant spider on the ceiling of your bathroom.

STEP 1: Take in a quick breath and hold it.

STEP 2: Put your hand on the counter. You aren't going to faint, but it's just your first response.

STEP 3: Quickly jerk your hand back because you're not sure there aren't more spiders on the counter.

STEP 4: Relax for a moment when you see that the counter is spider-free.

STEP 5: Slightly panic inside.

STEP 6: Endure paranoia that the entire house is now infested with spiders.

STEP 7: Stare in awe at how hairy, gross, and leggy the spider is while silently cursing it.

STEP 8: Experience great internal conflict as you try to gather the courage to leave the bathroom in order to get away from the spider. But to leave the bathroom you must pass under the spider. What if it drops?! Thus, the great internal conflict.

STEP 9: Run out of the bathroom praying that the spider maintains it's gross cling to the ceiling.

STEP 10: Frantically check hair and shoulders in the mirror to make sure that the spider is no where on you.

I know, this picture is terrible. But I was too
chicken to get close enough to get a clear shot of
how scary this spider really is.
And trust me. It's scary.

STEP 11: Realize it would be a lot faster to just look at the spider. Yes, it is still on the ceiling.

STEP 12: Go downstairs to use the bathroom that is spider-free. Determined after a thorough examination, of course.

STEP 13: Go back upstairs and take a picture of the spider, for proof of how big and scary it is.

STEP 14: Stand in little sister's doorway with your phone at a weird angle in order to get a picture.

STEP 15: Realize that you would have to get stomach-turningly close to the spider to really capture it's scariness. Look at your picture and realize it looks more like a black dot on the ceiling than a spider.

STEP 16: Decide to take a new picture. Get closer, but the spider moves. 

STEP 17: While running away, decide that your picture does a fine job of capturing that terrible spider on the ceiling of your bathroom.

Nasty little critters.
