Did I ever tell ya’ll how terrified I am of bugs? Like pee my pants, scream like a 3 yr old, pass out, freakin scared of bugs. And topping that list? Roaches. To me roaches (of any kind) mean filth and dirt and nastiness. Pour bleach all over everything including myself, filthy. I know that is not the case with “palmetto bugs”. They are supposed to live outside and mate outside, and only come in for food or if it rains or something-or-other. The smaller roaches “german roaches” live, mate, and eat indoors. I dont care. A roach is a roach. Period….

So last night I was sitting on the sofa watching the finale of America’s Got Talent and feeling chilly I had a little blanket across my lap. My son says “uh, uh mom, uh…” and I look down and the biggest freakin roach (palmetto bug) was starting to crawl across my lap. I started to freak! I was screaming and almost stopped breathing… It was BAD. I tossed the blanket, bug, and remote control across the floor and let out the biggest girly shreak. For the first time ever, my husband came running across the room scooped up a shoe and smashed it, without saying a word. Usually he would tell me to stop being such a girl and just kill it. -yeah not likely to happen! But last night he was a night in shining armor. My hero. All that sappy stuff.

Little Maggie came running out of the bedroom to see what the commotion was and saw her papa with her shoe in hand smashing a “cacaroach”. She was NOT happy. Told him he is never to pick up her shoe and kill anymore “cacaroaches” ever, ever again! He appologized to her but said he had to to protect mommy, and that seemed to make her ok with it.

Anyways I had all kind of nightmares about freaking bugs on me last night and Jeff still has a nasty cough that kept me up all night so I feel like dragons breath smells this morning. But, I was rescued last night and that makes me feel good. Somehow, I will have a better day!
