Blood and Bugs

So...Isaac and I were awake for a total of 15 minutes this morning when we had two little interesting experiences. The first:

I still don't know what happened, but Isaac was just sitting there playing on the floor and I looked over and there was his ear-full of blood! Thankfully, I think he must have just scratched it in his sleep-it wasn't bleeding from the inside or anything serious like that.

The second:

I know this hardly looks like a bad experience, but this was the result and not the issue itself. I keep most of Isaac's toys out in the living room in this table thing that has two drawers. Well, I opened one up (right after I cleaned up his ear) and there was a ROACH!!!! At least that's what it looked liked. It was alive and so nasty looking. I immediately took everything out because even though the bug freaked me out, I was more freaked out by the idea of it living amongst my son's toys that he puts in his mouth. I was going to find it and KILL it. And I did. I decided not to take a picture of it-I didn't want it in my house any longer than it already was. It probably wouldn't have bothered me so much, but Jake and I have started watching a show on Discovery called Verminators and there's always a part about a house or apartment overrun by roaches. Eww!
