Them

I'm fighting a war...

a war against...

them

this is my life right now...

'kill one and two take it's place'

they've been found in the living room 

     we don't eat in the living room

the master bedroom 

     no eating there

the office 

     occasional eating there

the bathroom 

     the opposite of eating there

the dining room eat-in-kitchen floor and wall 

     yes we eat in there...

     and yes there was applesauce on the wall, no comment

the entry way 

     no eating

the hallway 

     no eating

the laundry room/garage/clothes hamper...icky...

     no eating

the linen closet 

     seriously...GIVE ME A BREAK!

this means WAR...

I'm armed with the best I could find

and I'm given' them all I got...

I really can't take much more of this...

I'm going to end up with PTSD....

every little tickle on my skin and I flinch

oh...and bonus...

home with a sick girl...

so ants and sick kid and rain equals one stir crazy mom!

silver lining...my linen closet got the clean-out-purge-organization it needed!

BLOG UPDATE:  so it is to be my lot in life...my cross to bear (or is it bare?)...that as long as we live in this house I will be battling a war with ants...but do not fear...Terro-liquid ant baits are the best...you might see some scout ants, place a Terro ant bait in their path...then the grosses-of-all-grossness happens and you will have hundreds...no thousands...maybe millions of ants...they will form a little army to take back as much Terro to their nest as possible...do not fear...do not spray them with Raid although it is so tempting...just hold up in your happy place rocking back and forth and wait...they are taking the bait back to their nest and it will kill them there!!
