We've all heard that denial is not just a river in Egypt, but really? Did it have to come in the form of cockroaches invading my bathroom drawer EVERY night? And you know how I know they are there? Because I get up earlier now (I'm in training for "real" life) and when I walk in the bathroom and open my bathroom drawer to take out my toothbrush to do the very first thing that I do every morning, I get greeted by the very last thing I want to see every morning.
Cockroach.
And I swear it's the same little fella. I know there is probably a whole slew of them that party it up in my bathroom all night long, but he seems to stick around for last call and then passes out in my bathroom drawer only to be wakened by the bathroom light flicking on and his "bed" being moved open.
And can I just ask if anyone else has seen Wall-E? You know how he's got that little side-kick roach friend THAT. NEVER. DIES. He gets A-bombed by Eve, and he still never dies.
Lord, help me.
And send my friend to rehab, or find him a darn robot to follow around. Because I have bought way too many replacement toothbrushes in the last two weeks and I would start hiding them under my mattress if I wasn't convinced that I was a princess that might feel the discomfort.
I'm considering buying alcohol, filling up a glass and setting my toothbrush in that all night long. I just don't know that I would like a hair of a dog that never bit me starting off my day.
That, and I might see 6 kids instead of 3 when they wake up...

new existed until I moved here? Ignorance was indeed bliss in that regard.
okay, for some reason, only half my comment appeared.
What is SHOULD have looked like is this:
The teenie ones like the rest of the world or the honking humongous ones I never knew existed until I moved here?....etc.
Oh, they're big. REAL BIG.
The teenie ones fly though, so I'd rather run for cover than crouch and hover from it.
But I think they all have like 10,000 kids, so you can't win.
Six kids would scare the poo out of me. You might want to find another solution other than the alcohol technique.
Strange about those roaches...we are having the ones that you can saddle up and ride coming out from their hideouts and dying. One every other night. Such fun to be greeted by a dead roach in mornings.
Reagan wants to keep one because "Wall-E's roach is soooooo cute!".
Thanks, Pixar.
Um....GROSS.
Maybe an exterminator? Can't the boys track them down and kill them?
Or how about keeping your toothbrush in a plastic bag?
Terminix. The ONLY roaches I see are the dead ones that crosses the infamous "chemical barrier". Seriously. And they (the one or two I've seen in 2-1/2 years) are always waiting to be swept out the door threshhold they crossed. No smell, no danger to kids or pets.
Worth every penny!!!
