There was a gigantic roach in MY bedroom this morning. We don’t get roaches upstairs! Especially not in my bedroom. And this wasn’t a bitty roach either. This was big Mutherfucka roach. I've seen smaller cell phones. Of course, I can’t smush it because a) the crunch and b) they squirt, so I got the Raid and poisoned the sucker to death. He was ready to go anyway as he wasn’t running. Usually roaches don’t make themselves known unless they are senile and close to death. But jeeze! My bedroom?
Hopefully this will be is a rare occurrence. We live on the treeless side of the apartment complex so we don’t have as many as other people. It has nothing to do with being dirty. Keeping clean helps as they have fewer places to hide but they are just a part of life in the South. They are just so damn gross!
Aside from the initial girlies scream I let loose when upon it’s discovery I am proud to see how far I have come with my roach fear. I guess after you wake up to find one crawling on your face you know it cannot get much worse.
