Creepy Crawlies

Last night I was suppose to sleep over at Jeb & Miles house to babysit. I had done it the night prior to that as well, and I'm suppose to do it again tonight. Because the first time I slept over didn't go so well (I woke up every single hour!), and because I had to babysit at 8am the following morning, Zak offered to sleep over there last night.

So, Zak went over to sleep there last night, and I got to sleep here at the apartment. Since we've been sleeping apart anyway, it wasn't any big issue for either of us. I woke up a few times in the night still, and my dreams all were consisted of planning for the upcoming "wedding". It was an extremely long night for me.

I woke up this morning at about 7am on my own, with John still sleeping away. I was just lying down, thinking about color schemes and such, when I felt something crawling above my upper lip. I wiped it away without thinking twice, and determined it must have been just a speck of dust or something.

Moments later I felt something crawl up the side of my nose. Again, I brushed it off without thinking to actually try and grab it. Seconds later, I felt something crawling up the side of my face. I jumped out of bed and threw back the covers. All over the bed looked like little lines of dirt. Fleas. I ran to the mirror and looked at my face, and sure enough, I had FOUR fleas crawling on my face!

We've all seen a dog scratching itself like crazy on TV when it has fleas. Picture me screaming, but essentially doing the same thing. I was scratching my head, my face, I stripped off all my clothes, and jumped straight into the shower. I poured at least half of the shampoo all over myself, trying to drown the little buggers. When I finally was able to relax a little, I called Zak to inform him on what happened.

Now, Zak has only two fears: Needles, and Parasites. Fleas are a parasite. When I told Zak what had happened, and asked him what he would do if he woke up to find fleas in his goatee, he quickly agreed that something had to be done. Whether it costs us $10 or whether it costs us $400, he is going to get this under control... TODAY!
