The Flea and the Apple

It may be bad theology, but I am about 99.72% convinced that it wasn't a snake that gave Eve the apple (or pomegranate) in the Garden of Eden.

It was a FLEA.

While I'd never go so far to say snakes are cute, they can at least serve a purpose sometimes. You know, catching rodents and pests and that sort of thing.

FLEAS DON'T DO ANYTHING EXCEPT BITE INNOCENT BEINGS AND INVADE YOUR LIVING SPACES AND CAUSE A TOTAL UPHEAVAL OF YOUR LIFE.

In my opinion, that makes fleas completely, totally, absolutely 100% EVIL.

Are you with me here? So, the starving kitten we took in a few weeks ago brought the nasty little things with him (even though we thought we gave him a thorough bath), and starting two weekends ago (Labor Day weekend) we have been waging war against them. Seriously, there is NO POINT to their existence. Except evilness!

Josh and I fogged the house over Labor Day, and have been doing tons of laundry and vacuuming ever since, spraying our cats with flea spray and our basement with bleach. Yet we're still finding them here and there and it is ANNOYING ME TO NO END. I am a VERY thorough person, so they should be DEAD! AAAAAAAAAAGHHHH!!!!

We're going to fog again this weekend (since that'll be the 2 weeks you're supposed to wait), and we're going to double the number of cans we used... but if I come back and they're not all gone, I might have a mental breakdown. So if you don't hear from me, you'll know that the evil spawn have claimed one more victim.
