a LONG while,
and still I have very little in my head organized enough to write. Maybe I have been cured of the “bug” to be a writer, or maybe I’m giving up like I do in so many things. I like to think I’m giving myself over to the more pressing issues at hand, like…
ANTS!
Yes, I am a little bit crazed when it comes to this sort of vermin. Ok – maybe I’m crazed when it comes to EVERY sort but you get the picture.
Summer, in all its lazy splendor, brings with it a daily routine, for me at least.
Wake up late, yawn, stretch, shuffle into the kitchen, pour a bowl of cereal, and then suddenly notice (out of the corner of my eye) a group of skittering little black beasts!
Dropping everything planned for the day, including almost dropping the cereal bowl, I scurry right along with the colony, annihilating each one in my path, cursing myself for procrastinating the purchase of bug spray for the outside of my house. And just to be sure one of these nasty little scouts doesn’t leave any trace for others to follow, I clean, deeply, everything…and I mean everything!
It’s an undertaking, to say the least, and though I’m perfectly aware that my insanity is wholly unnecessary, I feel vindicated. At least at the end of the day there is always another large portion of my house cleaned to its bare bones, and not a single ant in sight…
at least until tomorrow.

aaaahhh how frustrating. Thats why I have Western Exterminator...when my husband has asked me a couple of times if we "needed" it I assured him we did!
I know your pain. We endured a summer years ago in which I became 'at one' with the ants. They were everywhere, in everything...even my bed! Why? Just because they could! TERMINIX is the answer. Kill 'em, I say!
