Exciting Morning

I got a jump start on excitement this morning. After the kids and I roused from the bed, we were doing the regular stuff. I changed Baby Girls diaper and sent Boog to change his pull up and put on some undies. As Baby Girl and I were walking to the living room, Boog comes running and screaming down the hall "A BUG, A BUG, A BUG, mama!!!!". He is crying, so I am like WHAT kind of bug did he see? He usually likes bugs and likes to sit and watch what they do. So I am a bit afraid to go and see what bug he had seen. Anyway I build up my confidence and head to the bathroom. I did not see it at first, then Boog starts screaming again, "There it is mama, the BUG!!" I jump back to make sure that it does not have a chance to touch me, then I see it. A huge, gross cockroach!!!!! It is on the bathroom door and decides to fly to the ground (note: the flying thing is one of the reasons I am afraid of this creature). I tell Boog to get back, then Baby Girl dashes in and is trying to catch it. "NO, don't touch it!" I yell, then scoop her up and put her back in the crib. I go and grab the weapon of choice, a shoe, then head back to exterminate. Of course, the thing has moved and now I have to find it again. All I can keep thinking is that it was going to fly on me, but I kept pressing on. Just seconds later it is all over with, the bug is dead and flushed down the toilet.

Now, I want to know where in the mothering hand book, it warns of you having to be an exterminator before having your morning coffee?

Girl, had the exact same type of experience the other day, only I used the shoe of a friend that the kids had that stayed the night! The roach was lost, then found, while baby girl was just on the bed wondering why the whole house was screaming. Then, finally, we found it, killed it and it wound up IN the shoe of this same friend!
