Do NOT Even Begin To Feel Sorry For This Dead Ant!!!!
Hi Mom!!!
After not writing on this blog in, well,...forever!...I'm pretty sure that you are probably my only remaining reader. Sigh...
Summer has been so hectic! Even my "off" days have been busy! Take today, for example. Today I HAD to go to the doctor. I emphasize "HAD" because I didn't go because I was sick (for which I am very thankful!). I went because I can't get my prescriptions filled unless I make an appearance every so often. Because the appointment was at 9:20, and because David had to have a ride to work at 11, poor David had to tag along to my appointment. I finished up at 10:30 and we had just enough time to get him a breakfast from Chick-Fil-A. No sooner did we pull out of the parking lot, when David's lid flew off his drink and spilled all over the floor. The floor of the car that I am borrowing for the week!!!!! I shot into the Dollar Store to buy a roll of paper towels. Only one check out lane open and there I was, looking for all the world like I was the most exasperated woman on planet Earth!!!!!! The lady with the over-loaded cart took pity on me and let me go in front of her...how nice was that!!! I met David,unwrapped the roll and began blotting up the soggy mess. The good thing? He made it to work on time. The bad thing? It set in motion a horrible headache that I can't seem to shake.
I got home, only to find that the bathroom had been taken over by ANTS!!!! Not sweet, little unassuming ants, but flesh eating FIRE ANTS!!!! They bite, they hurt, and they leave behind these horrible infected bumps. Today I even turned black and blue from the bites on my thumb...that's a first! Anyway, I got out the spray. While it did exterminate the pesky creatures, it left a horrible smell behind that has saturated not only the bathroom, but the bedroom as well! I had some laundry sorted in piles on the floor and when I put the whites in the wash, I noticed ants were crawling over the clothes. I shook them out outside, all the while getting bit again! I washed the load, only to take them out of the wash and discover THE ANTS WERE STILL ALIVE!!!! And biting!!! Did I mention that I have a horrible headache?
I have always found writing to be rather therapeutic...and this post hasn't let me down; it has helped immensely to be able to rant and rave about those %*&# ants!

I cant believe that some therapeudic ants who do not rant or rave got the best of you.thats what you get for waiting so long to keep us blog readers in the dark & waiting to hear from you.Perhaps they came down for you to be reminded that it would have been much easier to blog than to entertain fire eating ants.Perhaps a small token of appreciation could enlighten you to write more and be a patron saint for those %&"#@% Maybe they could light a small fire in your pants as a friendly reminder.

P.S. i'm glad they were in your pants instead of mine.
P.S.S we just saw the movie The Help and your little escapade reminded me a little of this movie.
if you get a chance go see it
Welcome back! :) Time to move to Holland. We don't have pesky ants like that here.
