it's been super icky hot here.. it's march, hitting 80 is unacceptable yo. and heat means that all the animals and plants and bugs are coming around in mass suddenly.

well last night, i had my windows open- and my apartment is not the greatest place.. all the screens are banged up pretty bad. some have holes, some are just falling apart. It's never been a big deal though.

So i opened the bathroom window before leaving to pick up the boy. We come home, sit and eat dinner.. get kidlet to bed.. and i go to the bathroom before going to bed myself.

I walk in... and at first, i'm super mad.. there's cat litter everywhere and kidlet supposedly vac'd it up earlier. then i look closer.....these aren't little bits of cat litter...... this is 32528083958239058320952 bugs ON MY FLOOR. i look at the wall..the ceiling.. the sink.. they're EVERYWHERE.

I ran out of the bathroom freaking out like a little girl and dragged the bf back in there. He walks to the window and opens the blinds and there are like a million of them crawling around on the screen (which has a huge gap on the side) and the actual window etc etc.

I was mortified. Bugs.. do not belong in my house. ever. *shudders* So i took a bottle of cleaner.. and sprayed each one till they died (yes, logical way of dealing with flying insects ok? they get wet they cant fly away :p ) and then wiped up all the bugs and flushed them down the toilet.

it was horrifying people.
horrifying.
i am never opening that window again. I live right next to a river, so i guess i should expect icky bugs.. but goodness. That was a MASSIVE swarm. *shudder* x 182352
 
so gross!!! I hate bugs so so much, too!!! I would scream like a little girl, too! :)
 
eeeeeek. i would have done the same. bugs freak me out. and clearly, once they are wet, they can't fly.
 
Oh my goodness! I would have totally flipped out! Yikes!
 
OMG I think I'd have moved. Immediately, and without my belongings.
 
Yikes! I would have totally flipped out. And DH would have totally been annoyed and rolled his eyes. Poor you! Huggsies!

the bf just laughed at me.. and left me alone in the bathroom to deal with it. he seriously teased me all night about freaking out :p
 
eek! Maybe get some bug spray and spray around the the window sill and on the screen too just for added assurance...
 
ACKKKKKKK!!!! so horrible! I might have had to leave the premises until said bugs were removed. YUCK!
