This is one of the nastiest things EVER and it makes me want to move. As I was getting ready for bed last night I finished up my nightly routine with a QUICK stop in the bathroom. (I know what you are thinking now - "does Cami only write about gross bathroom stuff now??" - hopefully I will have no cause to continue writing about gross bathroom stuff after this story). As I went to flush I happened to glance down and notice that the water level in the toilet was very low. Concered that the toilet was plugged up somehow I watched to make sure the water went down - much to my horror I saw a massive cockroach spinning around in the water just under the rim of the toilet. I let out an invoulutary shriek and ran and jumped into bed and hid under the pillow, shaking and twitching in full "gross out" mode. (Take a moment here to reflect - if you dare - on what it would be like to have a roach "right there" inside your toilet as you are using it...) Scott just laughed and laughed as he went and made sure the darn thing flushed fully back to the nasty place from which it came. By the way, it took several flushes before it was gone. After my shuddering slowed down and I felt brave enough, I went and got the bleach out and poured it down all of the drains and plugged them up. This is the recommended anti-roach method for our neighborhood - sewer roaches are a common problem and the pest control doesn't work. Ah, the joys of living in an old house...
I have a new ritual now of flushing the toilet before using it and I can't think about this experience with out a nasty feeling and shudder running through me. I won't ever be the same.

OH MY NASTY! I would have killed Paul for laughing like that! Rest assured he would have! You poor girl. I would have done the same thing. EEEWWWWW!
THose stories are SO funny Cami! I wouls seriously be terrified to use the toilet for awhile. I cannot belive that Boston is smiling, so cute. And that he weighed over 14 lbs.!! Taylor was barley 16 at her last appt.!!
sick. Did you see my cockroach post recently? Jeff had suggested we flush it and I was afraid of exactly what you are describing---after reading this, I am SO SO glad we didn't! Wow, I think your ritual of flushing before sitting is a good one...I'm tempted to do the same!!
Yuck! Glad you survived that one! Just wanted to say that I should have read your blog before I met up with you today...I would have had less questions for you! And by the way, your hair is adorable! I knew something looked different, but didn't realize you had chopped it.
It was great to see you and your two cute boys!
Ewww!!!!! Good thing you have Scott around.
Blek! I think I am going to have to start flushing before I go now too!! The thought has crossed my mind before when I have seen creepy crawlies in the bathroom that they could just as well be in the toilet, but I just can't let that thought linger because it is too much. I should have known it was a reality- sorry you had to live it!!
