AAAAAAK!!! I hate BUGS!

Let me preface this by saying Thank the Lord above that we have had rain this last week, and we are expecting it to rain most of this weekend too. The after effects of having it so dry on south Texas drought country makes me question my desire for rain. First of all the crickets everywhere are disgusting. I don't mean just a few...I mean like thousands and thousands. In fact it made the front page of the local paper the crickets swarming downtown getting into every office. My girls school smells like dead crickets because although the bugs have no odor while alive...they stick to high heaven when they are dead.

Secondly the mosquitoes are every where. Now one of the things I love about my house is that we are nowhere near standing water for these blood suckers to breed. Our little honeymoon house (AKA the closet sized crack house) was across the street from the town drainage ditch. I pretty much bathed in bug spray on a daily basis the four years we lived there. All of a sudden we are having a massive mosquito outbreak at my current house, and I can't figure out where they are breeding from. we have no backyard water scape with pond filters. We have no neighbors with anything like that. We do have a neighbor with a swimming pool, but mosquitoes do not breed in chlorine. No idea how they got in my house and bitten us up.

Finally we have the flies. Now flies are not on their own terrible, but they are annoying. My flyswatter is in use all the time, and we are in the midst of fall when all these bugs should have moved on or become dormant by now. As we move into another week of potential downpours all I can say is I HATE BUGS!!!!!!!!
