Dead Dead Dead


there is a cricket in my house.
it kept me up all FREAKING night long with it's incessant chirping.


"pretend you are camping" hubby tells me.
i don't like camping - they don't have room service.

every single time i put my foot on the floor to go locate the SOB - he/she/it SHUTS UP.


SMART SOB...

when i find he/she/it,

he/she/it will be Dead Dead Dead!!!

have i made myself clear?!

I once brought a cricket home via a new plant. I don't do bugs. I ended up throwing out the plant!

outside cats. Sam is allergic. no go on that plan. drats!

we live on a farm - so bugs are a given. i just prefer - STRONGLY prefer - them outside.

i'll take the cricket to the sketers any day. sorry nwg!

AND FOR THE RECORD...
the official score is
Me - 2
Crickets - 0

and i know where the little song bird from last night is hiding out. in the kid's arts and crafts closet - right outside my bedroom door. at the end of a tiled hallway - so that his/hers/its voice can better carry through out the ENTIRE house...

it's only a matter of time before i shrug off this exhaustion and empty that closet to commit the CRIME of bug extermination and flushation...

I know they're not cockroaches, but they look pretty damn close in my insect book of knowledge...so ICK.

I'd kill that sucker for you in a NY minute, sister. Better yet, I'll turn Buddha on it. He'll find it, tear off it's legs, and chew on the crunchy left-overs without a second thought.

*sigh* The things I do for the friends I love.

Ew Ew Ew Ew. Insects in the house. EEEEWWWW. People say that crickets are good luck. They're just roaches who have good
PR people. Their legs are WAY to bug and outa proportion to their body and the antenna....cripes, I can't it.

Crickets can drive you crazy, that's for sure! So can snoring husbands. This has just recently started. What should I do? I can't sleep!

Bad luck. Folks around here would have baited a cage/trap and released it into the wilderness.
