Wow today has been something else! I went to bed last night at 10:30 and tossed and turned until 1:00. I woke up at 6 and could not get back to sleep. So after tossing and turning for an hour I went and took a bath and came downstairs and got something to eat. I laid on the couch for about an hour falling asleep for maybe 10 minutes. Then I got up and went to prayer. On my way to prayer I walked past the Honda to grab my hat and noticed I had ants all over the inside! I came inside, got the can of Raid and went to town! I don't know if you are supposed to use Raid on vehicles but let me tell you it worked!! I went to Walmart after prayer and probably looked like I had a huge infestation of some sort. I walked out with 2 packs of ant traps, a can of raid, and a bottle of Raid Max for Jake to spray around the house when he gets home. Oh but you can't forget the bag of licorice I bought. :) Gotta have something to eat on the way home.
You might be thinking to yourself man this girl is going overboard on the ant situation. Well...This isn't the first time I've had to deal with the ants. About a month and a half ago i woke up to a trail of ants on my counter. Where they came from i don't know. I found out from my neighbor who after being on vacation for a few weeks came back to find them all over her counter tops and cupboards as well. Well just like this time i pulled out the raid (being careful of the fumes because I am pregnant), and cleaned everything out of my cupboards and sprayed. Well for the next couple of days i had to clean up ants behind my microwave but they soon went away. Well the other night I came home and had ants climbing out of my laundry room all over my floor and walls, so they must be coming in from somewhere. The most annoying thing about it is the landlord will not pay to spray because we did not notice the infestation within the first 7 days of renting. Okay I get that they have to set rules or they could go broke by everyone seeing a spider and calling for help, but how many of you think we would notice the ants in the first 7 days when on the day we moved in it was SNOWING! This makes me excited to be able to buy and have my money going towards our future, not someone else's. :)
I heard from Jake today. The phone is broken but he said dates have not changed and if not before i'll hear from him August 7th when he departs from everyone else!! :) I'm glad to know that the mission they just got back from went successfully! Dang I wish the time would hurry and fly by for him to get home. It seems like no matter how much stuff I jam into my day it isn't moving fast enough! Well banana bread is in the oven, just waiting for it to get done, have me a slice, and get to sleep! I hope everyone has a marvelous week!! :)
Love, Anna
