I hate roaches. Probably one of the most undesirable things I can think of on this planet. I mean what is there purpose? I have no idea. To be disgusting? Yes. That is there only purpose. Well I won't elaborate on the SEVERAL man-sized cockroaches that have surprised me in this old Florida house of mine. I won't go into the details of the many times in the wee hours of the night I have sprayed an entire room with roach spray chasing one of those giant things around, only to find them dead 2 rooms over the next morning and have to remove, sanitize or throw out much of what was in the sprayed room. I won't tell you how I was washing my face, and there one was just staring at me 5 inches from my face, peeking out from the bathroom mirror. Don't get me wrong, we have pest control...and the direct quote from the pest control man was that the stuff he used was less toxic than table salt...I was questioning him with concerns for the baby..but as these things keep popping up, I'm like do I need to sprinkle some darn table salt around the house??? Will that work better than the supposed pest control we have going on?? I wonder what really is in that container he carries around the house...Could be glitter for all I know. He might think he's a fairy or something, spreading cheer throughout the neighborhood. Either way...none of that is the main point. The main point is that the bugs are attracted to me.
The past few weeks my houes has been infested with tiny spiders. I have found them everywhere, and the Baby even had 2 tiny bites on him one morning. THAT IS WHEN I DECIDED TO FIND THEM. MISSION: KILL THEM ALL. I'm still working on it, but the baby's room was completely torn apart and vacuumed, the bug guy has been here to "spray" if that's what he does. Maybe his container holds good thoughts of no bugs...hmmm....ok well enough of that. I had a dream amongst all of this...When I was pregnant, I swore that would wake up and see mice and rats (not altogether, but one or the other) sitting across the room, or even very close to me. I would jump up, turn all the lights on and search for like 2 hours and then not be able to sleep. I thought I was going crazy. Turns out we caught a rat in the attic of the house I was staying at within the same month. I don't know if I ever really saw anything or if it was pregnancy 6th sense I had. I think the latter is true, because we never found a point of entry to me....I say all that to say that I had the same experience with the spider a few weeks ago I woke up and could have sworn a giant spider was dangling over my bed...even though all the spiders I have seen in the house have been the size of like a pin head. I jumped up, turned the light on, tossed my room about for a while and freaked out for a good while. Eventually I crawled back UNDER the covers and went to sleep. I swear to you I am NOT going crazy nor am I on any psychotic or hallucination enducing drugs. :P
SO my story takes us to THIS week. I decided to go down to the local Southern Hospitality. Haven't been there in like 10 years or something. I needed to kill an hour or so. I scrolled through the whole store, enjoying myself. Over to the furniture section I was all the way in the back corner (and this used to be an old wal mart so VERY BIG STORE) and while stopped looking at something, I felt a tickle on my foot but not enough to actually think it was something. Well I started walking and actually FELT something of weight, looked down and a giant man sized cockroach was now laying on his back, which I had kicked off of my foot. It slid across the floor and was now dancing on its back. UGHUGHGUGHGUHGUGHG I mean I think this is worse than mold. WORSE. So I freak out for a minute. Shake myself off, check my legs, my hair, even my purse for more of these varmants. Finally I move on, even though I WAS SO ANGRY. I didn't stop again, and every little thing I felt freaked me out after that. Not to mention I wanted to dip my foot in acid to clean it off and throw out my flip flops. OH yes there was definite skin to roach contact. I have to stop typing about it, cuz it's freaking me out now. OK Onto my next story....
2 days later I go to Arby's to get a sweet tea, which I NEVER DO. My sister was with me and I was getting 2 sweet teas. We were sitting at the drive up window and the lady hands me the first sweet tea. Directly as this happens a GIANT MAN SIZED cockroach crawls up the wall directly towards the open drive thru window. Like 1 foot from my hand, open window, and sweet tea. AND THE LADY INSIDE DOESN'T KNOW AND IS TRYING TO HAND ME MY TEA. I'm all YOU MIGHT WANT TO BACK UP!!! AS I AM QUICKLY FREAKING OUT AND BACKING MY CAR UP AND FREAKING OUT. So now I'm sitting in the drive thru refusing to drive forward because THE ROACH CRAWLED RIGHT INTO THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW!! AND INTO THE ARBY'S!!!WTH! I thought the employees were going to shoo it outside you know, but nothing happened. They just welcomed this GIANT 4 inch roach right into the store. Finally a hand pops out of the window and waves me forward. I was like really??? haha It was so disgusting....I don't know where all the roaches are coming from, but I'm ready for it to be over.
