NOT for the faint of heart:

Our newest tenants:
Yes, that is poison they're sucking down and hopefully bringing back to all their little buddies. It worked great last time, but last time there were only about 25 ants munching on Terro at any given moment. These guys are on their third helping and still yearning for more. Methinks it's about time to contact housing...

That teaches me to leave the floor unmopped for 2 weeks and then have little people over two nights in a row... (I mopped today, fyi*)




*and vacuumed and scrubbed the couch down and folded laundry and did the dishes and bleached the counters and made a cheesecake. I did NOT, however, go to the gym. (who do you think I am, superwoman?)

as of this morning, there were 10 ants left. Count them: ten. I think the stuff is working :)

nesting, schmesting. I'm going to let my mother do the final housecleaning and supervising of the movers (shh don't tell her, she thinks she's coming to see the baby). I plan to enjoy every last minute of air conditioning I have left.

LOL, yeah, enjoy incubating!

Sounds a bit like nesting, sweet girl. ;) Hurry up, I need to kiss on the kid before I leave...

trust me gals, it's more doing things that I'd put off for waaaaaay too long than nesting. Since that post, the only thing I've done consistantly is the dishes. No laundry, no sweeping, definitely no scrubbing.

I'll call it nesting when I wash a cup the second I'm done with my drink, or pick up D's uniform as soon as he takes it off, instead of leaving the cup on the table all day and then in the sink until the next morning, and the uniform on the floor until he either wears it again or I trip on it in the night.

I'll be sure to let you know when the switch occurs ;-)

think twice about "contacting housing" if that involves spraying pesticides. Don't force me to get on my bad chemicals soapbox.
Do you want my copy of the book Crazymakers? (it is about food, not pesticides, but in the same rant family)
