Apparently I’m running a roach resort. Or else, a roach nursery/ maternity ward. I’ve never seen any actually born (hatched??), just the itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny ones, running around after their mommas, and the empty egg casings. (None of them have been wearing itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow, polka dot bikinis either. Well, maybe they were, and my eyes just aren’t sharp enough to see them anymore!)
Oh, if only I was getting paid for each!! Can you imagine how filthy rich, I’d be!!
Emphasis on the filthy.
Now, you listen here. I can’t help having roaches. It comes with the territory of living in Florida.
Living in Fl, and being a slob, you mean.
Well….. ok. To tell the truth, having roaches is a consequence of living like a slob, in Fl. Where even CLEANIES get roaches!
But they don’t keep them, like you, do they??
Well, ummm…It’s not like I keep them as pets, or anything!!
Tell the truth!
Okay, you’re right. If they see a roach, they immediately spray, and scrub till everything is surgically clean.
AND??
And, they never leave out food on the counters, or crumbs.
And they don’t offer deluxe accommodations, like you apparently do! They don’t leave the light on either! (like motel 5 +1. ARGH!! I did math!!)
Side by side seaside cottages. With a few guests on their way to check in.
Found you on the Link Exchange on Mostly Blogging – pleased to see someone whose blog name is remotely like mine – Anything Except House Work! Not sure if you use the term ‘housework’ in the US to describe the enslavement of women in the home (ok and men if you insist on being all modern about it!), but I guess it’s the same as ‘home making’? Any how, love your blog – and yuk, roaches, we were plagued with them in every home we had in Toronto when I lived there and it was normal to open a kitchen cupboard and then jump backwards in case roaches ran out or fell on you! Back in the UK now and have not seen a single one. They don’t like rain I guess.

Oh, thanks for telling me where you saw me!! I’ll be over shortly to bond with you!! Yes, “housework” is a term we use for the slavery we endure!
Toronto?? I’d have thought that was too cold! Nice to know you escaped the plague!!

As a Florida resident, we get used to the occasional Palmetto Bug (flying giant roach), but the small roaches are a sign of not being clean.

I know. Hence the name “Slob.” 🙂
