Happy Mother's Day! I've been keeping busy this week with family in town including my mom! We also attended a graduation on Thursday and went to see a wedding and a show at the red rocks yesterday! It's been crazy, but nice and I never like to see my family leave, but I am looking forward to getting back in the groove! Today it's cold and snowing :-/ the up side is that the mountains got hit with a foot of fresh snow!
Here is to wishing all the Mommas and the Dads who are both mom and dad a wonderful Mother's Day!
Went to visit my girls and grands for the weekend-Home now and what a driving rain .for 2 hours of the 6 hour drive coming home. Regular rain for 4 hours. Glad to be home.
Hang in there Tj. He has been spoiled having you home most of the time. Take deep breaths and let him know you are just working on being healthy for the both of you. <3
Heya Killjoy-hope things settle down for you. Good to see you pop in!
Have a good night tripsters!

Happy belated Mother's day to all the moms out there Good afternoon Tripsters
Complete off the wall post, I think everyone will enjoy the post. This is an email exchange between us and a tenant today…..Ok-I had the best laugh at a beautiful new floridians expense today!!!!!!!!!!
Tenant: We had a bit of a situation this morning and I'm seeking advice. So far, we have absolutely loved the community, but this morning, I saw a cockroach the size of a mouse in the bathroom and I almost passed out! I've never seen anything like it before. I would like to get a hotel for a couple of days and have the place bug bombed, and I'm absolutely okay with taking on the cost of this ourselves. I just wanted to reach out and run this past you first.
In hindsight, now that the thing is out of sight and I can think clearly, it was actually kind of funny. I was standing on the bed screaming and hubby was laughing so hard he was crying and in the midst of all the chaos, he says, "Welcome to Florida!" I guess I'm getting what I asked for.
I have zero experience with this, so I would welcome any recommendations you may have.
Our response: Your reaction is fairly common for many people who have never lived in Florida. . First of all, 'bug bombing' your condo is not going to help anything because Palmetto Bugs do not originate inside buildings...they enter through doors, drains and windows. . Although they appear large, they can actually get inside through incredibly small spaces [they can also fly for short distances] but often just enter doors and windows when they are open. . Sometimes they enter in ways that are downright mysterious [attached to objects you bring inside that have been outside.]
Although there is nothing you can really do to completely prevent this [most of Florida is just a drained swamp], the most effective prevention is to periodically spray window sills and around doors [not just the bottom...all the way around] with a high quality insect spray called BENGAL, which you can purchase at Home Depot.
It's not your community...it's Florida. . They have a regular outside pest control service which sprays the exterior of all buildings on a regular basis. .But it's sorta like mosquito prevention: you can spray all you want, but Mother Nature cannot be entirely suppressed. .10 million dollar homes on the ocean have the occasional Palmetto Bug.
Without laughter, there is much wisdom in what hubby says: Welcome to Florida. .You will learn to wear sunglasses on a cloudy day in the summer, and you will learn to use high quality hair conditioner. . It just goes with the territory.
I fished a Palmetto Bug out of our bathtub last week. .No kidding. .Tina just says: ...THERE'S ONE IN THE TUB.
Tenant: Lord have mercy! They can FLY?! I might have a heart attack. We will pick up some Bengal today..

LMAO! I lived in Tallahassee many years ago. Palmetto bugs were a fact of life. I'll never forget one time Mom was visiting and she was dive-bombed! 
It is so funny how hard it is to get used to those bigger than they should ever be bugs, yet I get a broom to sweep out the snakes and lizards-lol.
I'll take a palmetto bug over a mole cricket any day
Sent from a dimension not only of sight and sound, but of mind.

Main- I had to google that one and I can now add mole cricket to the list of 'will someone get in here and get this thing outta here'
