The Moth Dance

The moth dance got ugly! Shea found one on the living room wall and I got the broom! Should I continue? lol Needless to say, I looked like a native hunting a wild beast...so in between laughing hysterically, I was able to finally smack it, it dropped and then did the "Halloween-Scary Movie" thing where it appeared to be dead only to fly back at me making me screech at the top of my lungs at 11pm last night! I had some major adrenaline going on after that and didn't get to sleep until well after midnight! Score: Me= 1 Moth= 0
