Cockroaches

When we returned home from our trip to Manila over New Year's, our house had sat empty for 3 weeks. Or had it?

Empty, yes, of the human kind, but when the humans are away the cockroaches will play. When we returned, our bathroom was their new high occupancy apartment complex. The first night back, we killed over 15. Or, I should say, Ben killed them.

I am totally grossed out by them. But they don't care about my opinion. They crawl up the toilet plunger at night, in plain sight, they hang out in the toilet paper roll, they crawl all over and eat away at our toothbrushes. They scurry all around the sink and floor. or skulk. no, scurry. They are quick, and they fly. They hide in the shower curtain, the trash. I hear them at night. They are gross. and I hated going in that room in the dark.

To date, they have not all gone away. I realized a few days ago that depending on Ben to kill them was not practical. My being home all day and him being at work... So I asked the Lord to help me overcome my fear/revulsion. And then I took the first step.

Now I am:

Suzy

the

Cockroach

Slayer

Victory is mine!!!

The plunger is my weapon

and the death toll is many.
