It's 12:48am (or 00:48 for 'those' kind of people) and I'm protesting having to sleep in my room. Why? I'm so glad you asked! After bathing the kids like we do every night, we were all kicking back on our bed talking. Why is it my eye sight is so great at seeing dirt in my house and a multi-legged critter run across the wall? GASP! Yup, your eye sight isn't going either. I managed to jump and scream with a little one attached at breast quicker then the time I realized doing a handstand on a bike with flipflops was impossible. It ran at a 45...(NO Bub, not literally...remember guns arent permited for my use here in Japan) to the top part of the wall. I was so afraid it came it to enjoy the A/C with us because I was sure it was fixin' to get lost in there. For those that aren't here to enjoy the "push and hope you got the right kanji symbol" Japanese style A/C, they are up on the top part of the wall and the little vents open and close. Anyway, by this time I looked at the Dear Husband and told him it was his turn since one actually made an appearance for him. The man comes back with a cup! Since when did he care about the things feelings? Squash the sucker, he'll never have the guts to run in on us again. Eeek! First attempt- it falls to the floor.....by where the kids sleep. He flips up the matress, even though the Japanese cockroach is big enough to lift it alone, and said it ran under the bed. I then realized that was Kalee's hiding spot for things like the skirt she dosen't like to wear and the jacket I wanted to throw away. ....and the mouse size "la cookaratcha" came dancing full speed towards me. BUT, my husband saved my life and captured it under a cup. I gave him the "now what are you gunna do" look. He slid a cardboard piece between he carpet and cup. Wshew! I asked "What? Are you gunna set it free" while lifting the toilet seat up. my rule is: Bugs can live, but NOT with me. Your home is outside, you live there. My home is inside, you don't stand a chance around me....even if your guts do splatter. Off he went to live with the fishies...just like goldie did a couple years ago.



I later got to thinking if Bear would have seen that flush, what else would I have had to call housing to pull out of the toilet. I think a toothbrush, bobby pin, hair barette, straw, bath toy fish, and Little People animal is enough for this year.



Hope you all sleep multi-legged, 3 inch, fast charging critter free.
