Of spiders and such

Are there more spiders around this year than normal? I feel like there are. Generally, I am not afraid of bugs, or spiders, but this year they are really starting to get to me. I don't usually scream when I see one but I am quick to kill it and get it away from myself as fast as I can. Don't spiders usually go into hibernation? Is that just bears? I guess I could Google all this stuff, and I guess you are wondering why the obsessing about spiders today. Well, let me tell you a story:
On our way out the door to church on Sunday I realized it was freezing outside and should therefore grab a coat. In our garage is an area to hang coats so I grabbed one I haven't worn for a while. I threw it on, jumped in the car and off we went. I pulled down the passenger mirror so I could apply my lip gloss when I saw in the mirror behind my head a HUGE spider crawling up the seat. I yelped!! (that is a somewhat subdued yell) and turned in my seat and proceeded to smash the guts out of the spider. The yelp caused Shae to worry as did my beating of the seat and crying out about spiders, so he pulled over and stopped the car. I jumped out and started to wipe myself down and shake out my coat. I had in this chaos figured that the spider had come from inside my jacket. While doing the shaking coat dance on the sidewalk, in the freezing cold air Shae mentioned and pointed to another spider by my foot, apparently the shaking had dislodged it from inside my coat as well. So the shaking coat dance stopped and the stomping to kill the spider on the sidewalk dance started. When I could finally hold still sort of (I still felt like there might be spiders crawling on me somewhere) I got back into the car without putting my coat back on. I know that the spiders where either all dead or gone from my jacket by I just didn't want to take that chance that I might be wrong. As we drove off, finally on our way to church Shae said "Well, that was an exciting way to start our day at church."
So now you know why I am a little obsessive about spiders. I swear I see them every where since Sunday. Yes, mostly the spiders are outside and not causing me or anyone any harm, so I leave them alone. Maybe I am just a little hyper sensitive after my spider coat drama. But really, are there more spiders around this year than normal?
