So one day while I was playing on the floor with Brek I see a black "thing" crawl beside me. I scream of course, because I think it is a spider and I hate spiders! Oh no. Not a spider. A lizard! What the heck! Where did that come from??? Weird. A week or so later I'm cleaning out the kitchen. There's a box of Kix open that has hardly anything left. I'm about to dump it into a smaller container to make more room in my teeny tiny kitchen when I notice....yes, a lizard!!! Needless to say, I threw the entire box of Kix out in the backyard. Another week or so later as I'm doing the dishes...another one!!! Where are these lizards coming from?!?! Does anyone else have problems with lizards in their house? It has been a while since the last spotting, but every time I think it's the last another one shows up. At least they eat bugs, right?
Speaking of bugs...
The other night at, oh about, 4:30 AM I wake up to this buzzing noise and then a thunk against the fan. I try to tell myself that I was just hearing things and to go back to bed. So I lay there listening. There's no way I can go back to sleep now. I wake up and turn on the bathroom light. I look and look and see nothing. So I lay back down with the covers pulled tightly up around my face. I hate bugs. Then I hear it again! I get up and turn the light on, look and look....nothing. Then I see it. A big, black beetle crawling on the drapes right above Brock's head. What am I supposed to do? He's still completely asleep, so I grab a shoe and a fly swatter. It crawled to my side of the drapes so I try to get it and it falls down where it crawls under the bed where I cannot reach it. Yuck!!! By this time Brock is awake and wondering what the heck I am doing. I tell him I am NOT going to sleep with this beetle on the loose. He tells me that at 4:30 in the morning he really does not care. So he just lays back down to go to sleep as I'm still standing in the doorway to the bathroom paranoid that this beetle is going to get me. And then I see it again! Right over Brock's head...again! So I get him up and he smacks it and it falls and...we can't find it! He informs me yet again that it is 4:30 in the morning and he doesn't care about the stupid beetle. So in the end I sleep in the living room while Brock sleeps peacefully in our bed.
The moral of the story is...
I hate lizards and beetles and spiders and pretty much any creepy crawly thing!!! And you get to hear about it in an extremely long blog post. :)
