I thought I should share some of my more entertaining stories with you all. Have you ever heard that cute kids song "La cucaracha, la cucaracha, ya no puede caminar......" I always thought that was such a fun song--that is until I recently realized it was about cockroaches. I always wanted to live closer with nature, but I never planned on living with so many bugs. I think I have killed 5 cockroaches a week on average. I felt slightly hesitant to kill them until I found one sitting on the toilet seat staring at me, waving it's little antennaes at 1 in the morning. I think the prevalence of bugs explains why everyone always wears flip flops in their houses. You need a flip flop handy to wack at the bugs. I have now mastered the wack of death---one strike and the roaches are done for. It's a small achievement I know, but it's one step forward for Emily and one strike against the roaches! I thought I would include a picture of my most recent conquest......

Emily,
Only you could make a post about a cockroach so upbeat and funny. Power to you. And isn't it disturbing that that song also says "ya no puede caminar" (now I can't walk!). What do those cockroaches do? Or is it because one's shoes are ruined that one can't walk?
Hugs and prayers
I know the feeling of overcoming fears and just plain disgust while killing the cucarachas here...they're just so dang big! I don't know if you'll ever get used to it, but it does get easier just because it's part of life here.
