There are some things that just make me want to puke!
Topping the list is
the roach that my sweet daughter found in her room this morning. We have not had
many inside the house though our garage is often a target. I have learned to
open the door at night with a can of wasp killer in my hand to spray the roaches
while they run around. Our roaches are NOT frightened of people. They will
charge you! So, finding one in the house this morning was disgusting. (note:
this is the 2nd one actually inside the house since we moved in 2 years ago -
living in SE TX, I'd say this is an amazing record)
And then... I went to
lock the front door after the above dd tossed the now dead roach outside. I
looked down to see a small lizard. I don't like those in my house either. Yes,
they do clean out some of the spiders and flies that find their way in, but they
have a tendency to stink when they die. I opened the front door, took off my
sandal, and touched it lightly to encourage it to head outside. It was bleeding
from the side of the head. Unsure whether it was dead or alive, I called for the
broom and dustpan cause there was ABSOLUTELY NO WAY I was touching that thing
while it was bleeding!! Dustpan in hand, I touched it with the broom, and it
leapt onto the dustpan. I ran outside, trying to choke down the scream that was
rising in my throat, and shook it off into the flower bed.
