The worst thing about living in Texas...

It's not the threat of hurricanes. It's not the threat of flooding rains that occur every single year. it is not the insane summer heat and humidity.

It's the dreaded.....





tree roach.

Yes. I'm not talking small ones. I am talking the huge flying tree roaches. The ones that don't care whether your house is super clean or not.

They come out in droves in hot and humid weather. Unfortunately for us - we have a huge tree in the front yard that they are attracted to. I ran into SEVERAL in my garage last night (where my washer and dryer are located.)

I screamed. and I screamed loud. Needless to say we will have to treat this problem somehow - because I DO NOT WANT THOSE THINGS IN MY HOUSE!

I laid in bed awake forever last night thinking they were going to come in attack me.

I seriously though I was going to have roach infested dreams. ATTACK OF THE KILLER ROACH!

one of the good things about ireland is we have no big bugs! we have tiny house spiders and thats it. i've never seen a real roach in my whole life! i guess its not warm enough here!

I'm glad I don't live in Texas.

We were in NOLA a few years back for JazzFest -- preKatrina -- at some dive bar on Lee Circle listening to some blues and all of a sudden roaches (or were they palmetto bugs?) came out of the wood work. The bartender was squashing them as he saw them. Ick.
