YUK!!

I have got a MAJOR problem at home with cockroaches. I hate them. I have tried everything to get rid of them - EVERYTHING. I have used a poison that I had to mix up and spray myself with a spray bottle wearing a mask & gloves. I have fogged. I have put out those little falt roach trap thingy's, I have used a long acting spray that you have to respray if you was or mop the area. But, no matter what I do they keep coming back. Every "treatment" only works for a few days and they are back. And everytine I do treat my house I have just about move out. It's such a mission!! I even poisoned myself by accident once! I inhaled a spray and it made me sick. Felt like there was something gritty stuck in the back of my throat. It made me cough and then throw up...

Last night I killed a whole bunch of them again, but I hate them so much that when I have to clean the bodies after a masacre of DOOM I wanna throw up. I gag something awful. The kids of course think it's really funny, but do they bother trying to kill and dispose of dead roaches? No way!

I don't know what to do - short of moving out which I would do tomorrow if I could find a place that I can afford - grrrrr, I am so sick of them. Any advice?

Anyone...

Beautiful Dawn...

Dawn Blumberg-Levin March 1960 - January 2011

This is a very very special Lady. Dawn passed away very suddenly a couple of days ago. She touched my life in a very special and precious way. Even this morning I found a cooment on my blog from her that I hadn't moderated yet on my last post. She was also a stepmommy and was my sounding board, my voice of reason, a listener and some one who always had such sound and meaningful advice.

Beautiful Dawn - I have no words. I miss you so much! We shared much laughter and tears together - and I know I am a better person for knowing you. I just wish I could have met you for real - that would have been the best!

I will think of you everytime I hear the Rolling Stones or have a Flake choccie. My world will never be the same again.

I love you lots
