So, last night was a night of rudely interrupted sleep. One that has left me is wondering something….
WHAT PURPOSE IN OUR ECOLOGICAL SYSTEM DO COCKROACHES SERVE???
Of all the things to survive since the time of dinosaurs – a cockroach, why a cockroach?
I was sleeping relatively soundly last night when I had to get up to use the restroom, nothing that uncommon. Got back in bed and all snuggled up to my husband ready to drift back into slumber – next thing I know something landed on my head in my hair right by my ear. Living in Florida it was easy to guess – a cockroach. I of course panick
ed got out of bed so quickly, and was shaking my head about leaving me with one heck of a kink in my neck.
Wait – it gets better! My husband turned on the light asking what was going on and I told him there was a cockroach, he pulled back the covers from where I laid and there he was; cockroach-zilla. I told my husband “kill-it please, kill it”.
The huge thing dodged the first punch, and the second punch made contact and took him out! Yay! I brought him some toilet paper and he picked it up and handed it to me and told me to give it a burial at sea.
I took it in, put it in the toilet and flushed it.
Aaahhhh….drama time is over, time to get back to bed.
Oh, no, now there is some icing for the drama cake. My husband headed into the bathroom after I flushed it to go and….as the nights luck would have it the toilet was overflowing! Oh the joy…..he plunged it and then I mopped up the water….
So, please can anyone tell me what purpose cockroaches serve other than to torment us in our sleep?

Also, some have told me it was a “Palmetto Bug” – to me there is no difference give it a fancy name but it is still a creepy creature!!!
