Strange Coincidence

I usually love a strange coincidence, but the one that happened to me this morning, I could have lived without.  The new Amazing Spiderman movie just came out today.  In fact, I think they had some early previews of it last night.  It seems like the Spiderman movies always come out near my birthday.  Since it’s my birthday weekend, my husband and I are going to a comedy show to celebrate, so the kids are going to Grandma’s house after school today.  I packed up their backpacks last night so they will be all ready to go.  My son has a Spiderman backpack.  I had the bags ready to go near the front door, so we could just grab them on the way out.  It was time to go, so I grabbed my sons backpack and guess what happened?    There had been a spider underneath it, and when I lifted it, babies went everywhere.  I screamed, threw the backpack, and screamed again.  My husband came running in because this is not usually my reaction.  I am usually the spider killer.  I was just not prepared for spiders in the am.  So many spiders.  My husband got some spray, and a shoe and went to work.  I just stood there in shock.  The really weird part about it is that when I went to pick up his bag last night to pack it, I was thinking how weird it would be if there was a spider under his Spiderman backpack.  Go figure.
