This past week and a half I have been dealing with a teething child... Not fun by any means. However teething soon turned into a full blown cold and I had my first experience as a mom dealing with a sick child. First of all, it breaks my heart to see my little one not feeling well, and second, babies sure are messy which means snot everywhere. I am happy to say that last night she slept well for the first time since this all began; ten nights, but who's counting? Today she seems to be feeling better. Unfortunately those darn teeth still haven't poked through. Hopefully we get a little break before starting that process again.
On a completely different note...
We have had a sugar ant problem for the past month or so. We've found a few here and there and had the occasional pop can attacked if left on the floor. However, it was nothing compared to what I had to deal with this Thursday. I had no idea so many aunts could be in one house. Now before I show you, I think I need to explain things a little. I don't normally leave food just sitting on the counter. I am a very clean person. I like things neat and tidy. Wednesday night I wasn't feeling well (pretty sure it was the lack of sleep I've been getting, see story above) and I didn't have much of an appetite. So I set my half finished hamburger on the counter intending to throw it away when I did the dishes later that night. I unfortunately fell asleep on the couch and went to bed without touching the dishes, completely forgetting about my half eaten hamburger. And this is what I woke up to:
This doesn't even show the huge trail of ants from the floor up to the counter. There were HUNDREDS of them. Needless to say I got the bug spray out and half a can later made sure I had KILLED THEM ALL! This spray works great to kill those you can see but it is not getting rid of the problem. I have been told to use Terro but was wondering if anyone else out there had a good solution to getting rid of sugar ants, FOREVER!
