An Unwelcome Guest

It all started this morning, I woke up all bright eyed and bushy tailed (or something like that), jumped in the shower, then decided to come downstairs to DVR my workout for the day. Well while I was on the couch, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye that moved... 

I looked over and to my dismay I saw...

Okay, he may not have been in a white lab coat, but I swear, this guy was HUGE! To top it off, I couldn't exactly wake my hubby up to 'take care' of him, so it was up to me. There was no way I was getting anywhere close enough to him to smash him, and the concept of sucking him up with a vacuum didn't sound great since I'd have to dump out the dust bin afterwards and let's face it, that's just too risky for him crawling back out and attacking me so what do I do? I google 'how to kill a cockroach' and find this quirky video on how to kill a cockroach 'kindly.' 

I decided to go with the 'spray em with soapy water' method, so I prep my spray bottle, get a good 5 feet away from the thing and just go crazy. Picture this, I start spraying this nasty thing who then starts running down the wall after me (I swear he was trying to attack me), so now I'm spraying faster than humanly possible, panicking because I'm about to be eaten, and all the while drenching my walls and floors with soapy water. After he realized that he was no match for me, he ran under the table and then the soapy water starts to kick in. Almost like telling a dog to play dead, the thing flips over on it's back, legs flailing, and all of a sudden I start feeling bad for the little guy. I can't just leave him suffering like that, so I pick up the hubbs shoe and squeal as I smash him. The crunch was so loud that I started dry heaving like the baby I am. Of course then I had to flush him because knowing my luck he would spring back to life and seek out revenge, that was a blast, really.

Oh the adventures I come across...
