My day started out...
Friday, August 28, 2009
Not good. I heard the damn cat out in the garage this morning. NOT a good thing, as when she is hungry, she has a tendency to meow, and we ignore her. Then, she pees on the dh's shoes. This morning was no different! I swear, if she wasn't so old, I'd send her to her grave sooner! Don't get me wrong, I love my cat, but I totally detest stepping into a puddle of cat pee!
Hence, this was how my morning started.
Getting Syd ready for school and off to school was good, as normal.
Only, when I come home, as I have to kill time, I look across the tile floor and what do I see? A darn roach lying there! With all the rain we have been having again, these stupid things have been getting on the back porch and in the garage. And, if I mistakenly open one door and leave said door open for a bit, I get the bug. Well, I chalk this darned roach up to me opening the back door to see what the ruckus in my backyard was last night!
Now, said, stupid roach is lying there on it's back. Still. Not moving. Not until I gently blow on it! STUPID, STUPID me! Well, it started moving like crazy, but hey, at least it didn't (or couldn't) crawl away. It's just lying there on it's back, freaking out!
Let me set the record straight here. I am not scared of bugs. But one of my least favorite things is having to squish a bug with my hand and feeling the CRUNCH of said bug.
Again, not how I wanted to start my morning. SOOOO...... I go outside and grab this bug spray and squirt the roach, who then proceeds to freak out and flail it's arms/legs everywhere. But :D not walking anywhere. Sorry, this is how I left said roach. Left it to just slowly die in the corner of my tile floor. I'll just pick it up with a napkin later.
And, by the way, I just looked over at the darned thing as I am typing this, and he is STILL moving!! Apparently, the bug spray I bought isn't that good because I saturated the roach about ten minutes ago! I'm leaving that stupid thing there unless DH wants to pick it up.
Now, I am off to start said day. Still need to get Bo to school. Then, I have to rush around and pick up a few things and clean my car. Then, I have to pick up my mom around 1:00 or 2:00 (can't remember what time, actually). Then, I am off to the airport to pick up my aunt, uncle, and two cousins, who are arriving for a week visit. Did I mention that they live in Hong Kong, and I haven't seen them in 8 years? Then,....
Ha! Just kidding. I think I'm done.
Have a great day, girlies!
*** edited approximately ten minutes after I published this new post: ok. Couldn't take it. Disgusting bug on my floor. I picked it up with a paper towel and disposed of it. Then, cleaned the area with Lysol wipes. Then, I mopped the whole area with my sanitizing steam mop! A little overkill? LOL!
