Cockroach in the Shower

You read that title right, there was a GIANT cockroach in my shower last night. If you live anywhere below 2000 feet, you will probably be rolling your eyes at this post. However, this Colorado native has never lived with cockroaches, so having one in my shower was a big deal! I felt a little bit like the universe was laughing at me. I was thinking to myself when I stepped into the shower how it was the only time all day that I didn’t feel just a little bit sticky or like there might be bugs crawling on me. How’s that for irony?

I was a tomboy growing up and most things didn’t phase me. As an adult, I feel like I’m pretty brave about most things. Last night, I was not brave. Thank goodness I didn’t lock the door. I yelled for Dave and with our house being tiny, he was there in no time. He assessed the situation, as I stood outside the shower with conditioner still in my hair and only one shaved leg. Dave yelled for Braxton to go get the piece of PVC pipe he found in the yard a few days ago. Braxton has created a lot of games with this pipe while playing outside. Last night it served a new purpose. Dave successfully killed the cockroach and I finished my shower as quickly as possible. Will I ever get used to all these bugs?!
