BUGS!!!

There are all sorts of creepy crawlie things around here and they're all very interesting to look at, although I have to say that the no-see-ums have been doing more than crawling on me and I'm covered with bites. Thank goodness for Jody's Magic Oil...makes the itch go right away (at least for a while). Last night David and I climbed into bed and as I was adjusting my pillows I became distinctly aware that SOMETHING was crawling up my leg, rapidly approaching parts of me that don't see the sun on any day. Picture this short, round, hobbled-up little woman LEAPING out of bed, yelling something obscene, and as I hopped around making little "Agh-h" and "Y-U-CK" and "OOGH" noises, David chased a 2 inch COCKROACH around our bed until he caught it and threw it outside. Oh really, I hear someone wondering in their little pea brain "Why didn't he kill it..?" Think about it, Clyde. I said a TWO INCH cockroach. Exactly how does one kill something that big--so crunchy and so full of goo? You'd let it out the door as well. David says I should just think about it as a pet--a small, shiny, brown pet--like a tanned cat with no fur..."Something that got under the covers with you but shouldn't be there in the bed--like the cats with their claws when then get under the sheets and head for my crotch," he said, smiling. "They make me say "Oogh" too when they do that." So I will try to think of this BIG BUG as our new pet. We'll have to get a crate, though, because he's not allowed on the bed again...
