Roasting

We're back in the toasty desert! It's nice to be back! Much to my relief our house is just as we left it. We did have a plant fatality in the front yard, but that's much better than our house burning down, so I'll take it. Today as I was sorting things out I discovered that while we were gone an uninvited guest moved in. I picked up a basket in Mitchell's room to find a scorpion crouching there. It still makes me a little sick just thinking about it. Once again, he was playing just a short distance from a nasty, creepy, poisonous creature. We'll be visiting 'town' tomorrow to find some sort of something to take care of this issue. Yuck! And the saga of Scorpion Boy continues.

Second to roaches, that may be my worst nightmare. Actually, if I thought about it long enough, I'm sure scorpians would overtake roaches. Ick. Good luck!

simon and i were called upon to kill a huge cockroach on our ceiling this afternoon. well, on our ceiling, wall, floor, dang, in the closet and finally dead. so i feel your pain and rage. bleeeeh!
hope you find something wonderful and barely legal to zap it--and safe for the buddy of course.

Hey - didn't Lee buy you a taser? I guess you might as well use it for something now that you're not in the big city anymore. Come up to Boise, we just have rattlesnakes.

Yes...come up to Boise...permanently.

Oh alright. If you need me to send you one of Tyler's size 15's to do the job, let me know.

How about I call you sometime? I can't believe we never chatted while you were in DC ONCE! Pathetic. What kind of savages are we? ...Oh yeah...MOTHERS.
