I am currently borrowing someone's internet connection, so I will just write a brief note (and it's also way past my bedtime...) Our phone and internet should be connected on the 28th, I can't wait. A week without internet or phone is hard!
We are still dealing with a few bugs here and there. I think I only saw three cockroaches today, and managed to kill one. We have some in our microwave. I killed one, but there is at least one more in there that I can't get to. Every once in a while I see him in the clock/number display area. He hangs out for a bit, and then walks away. The Terminex guy said they like it cause it's warm, moist and has bits of food. He also said that he would just get a new microwave. Mike wanted to take ours apart, but you need a special screwdriver. I suppose that's to stop just anyone from taking it apart. Anyway, I was using it the other day and I heard popping noises and then the light bulb blew. It was at that moment that I decided not to use it anymore. It just grosses me out to think about dead cockroach fumes floating around my food. Anyway, we had the Terminex guy come and spray. He said that it takes about a week and a half to work, so we will probably still see the odd bug. And sure enough, I did see some today. It's interesting though...I went from being afraid of them to being angry at them and killing any one of them I can get (they are really fast!) Sure, they still kind of creep me out, but the hatred toward them is definitely stronger that the fear. I still see the occasional spider, and beetle too. Oh and crickets. We have crickets too. I guess from all the moist weather we have been getting. Crickets don't really scare me, but they do startle me sometimes, like when they get in clothes or blankets that were on the ground (or in a suitcase on the ground).
Enough about the bugs...I don't want nightmares tonite! I'm sure glad Jesse and Rebecca are too young to care, although I sure wish Jesse didn't want to eat the bugs...
So our mold problem appears to have been fixed. Hopefully we won't have any more issues with it again. Other than all that, life is pretty normal here. It's hot and windy. The kids and I spend our days indoors. We do need to get up to ACU and walk around the path though.
Anyway, I need to get to bed. I spend way too long on Facebook tonite already! I promise to add pictures to the Dropshots site when we have our internet set up.
