Creepy Crawlies

Hello blog world!

You'll be happy to know that I did, indeed, survive my in-law weekend. It was a quick but expensive trip. We stay in a hotel and it kinda adds up. But I'm NOT complaining. Really. Bring on the hotel rates! Because an empty pocket is a lot better than the alternative...which is the possibility of bringing home some nasty little insects.

Yep, they've kinda got a little bug problem. I know they've tried to get rid of them but it hasn't worked. In fact, they've even seemed to get a bit braver.

I remember the trip where it became obvious what a problem it was...we had gone for a visit and I was sitting in bed breastfeeding. Then a roach fell from the ceiling. Onto my boob.

Do you hear me? ONTO MY BOOB! Which was ATTACHED TO MY BABY'S MOUTH!

The minute that thing hit I flicked it so fast and so hard that I think it probably splattered the instant it hit something.

Just thinking of that thing being so close to my sweet, precious, bug-free baby...

Then going to sleep that night, knowing that something was going to fall and crawl all over me...Really, I wanted to soak in a disinfectant bath. 

And I'm not trying to be a snob...I put up with a lot of grossness. A lot. I overlooked it, ignored it, pretended not to see it. 

But bugs falling on me...that's just something I can't do.

Sooo, yeah, we don't stay anymore.

We visit less and spend more money when we do. But I can sleep peacefully at night and that's totally worth it.
