survivors

6:06 pm

I always think of cockroaches as the one animal that could survive aything, but today I was proven wrong.  I did a load of laundry this afternoon, it consisted of about 30 mildewy rags and towels that had soaked up rain water in our garage.  I did not shake them out before throwing them in the washer because they were so crusty and gross, so I knew they had leaves and rocks glued to them.  I used a large amount of bleach, hot water, and detergent hoping to kill the stench and mold growing on the towels.  When the wash was done I took each rag out one at a time to shake the leaves off and I found a rolly polly.  I felt so bad and was trying to hid it from the kids, but then it stared crawling!  I found three others, all still alive, except for the one I accidently crushed thinking it was a rock.  I never knew those suckers were industrial strength.
