Petco, where the pets go!

That is all that comes to mind right now. You would think that we were running a pet shop around here. Some are nice and some are grossing me out!!! First off, we have about five baby kitties that have taken up residence in the crawl space under our house. I think that we made the mistake of giving them milk one evening and it has been all downhill from there. Scott changes their water dish on the front porch daily, but we have definitely refrained from feeding them anymore. They are cute though. I am not a cat lover, so they will remain outside pets.

Next, there is the roach problem. I would like to think that we are fairly clean and tidy people around here, but we have had roaches in this house ever since we have lived here....the first and second time. Let me tell you, I am seriously grossed out by this. The other night I couldn't sleep so I was in the spare room in the recliner on the computer and what do you know, a roach is crawling on the table next to me. That sucker could move. The second I squealed and jumped up from the chair, he had taken my seat, crawled across the chair and unto the bookshelf. It was about 1:00am and I made Scott get up to kill it....ewww! And last but now least, we now have a lizard that lives in our bedroom. I saw him for the first time tonight. He is just a teeny little fellow and Scott was making fun of me for getting all freaked out about it, but seriously folks....who wants a lizard in their bedroom???!!!

I guess that is what you get for living in an old house. I have decided to look for newer houses on my house hunt these days. I like the feel and character of the old house, but I could do without the cracks, creaks, and lack of insulation.

I will keep you updated on any more pets that migrate our way. And, thank goodness our gnat is is not longer a problem....
