Yesterday was a fairly normal day. I normally work 9-1pm. Got home, ran around trying to get dinner in the crock pot before I had to take A (husband) to work at 1:30pm. I won't say it was my best meal ever, but hey, it was quick and allowed me to mess around in my garden to be rather than making dinner. It was a recipe I found in my crock pot bible..."Fix it and Forget it"....it was chicken, a can of french onion soup, one can of cream of mushroom soup and a little white wine. I serve it over rice. Ok, done with my food side bar. I made some progress in my garden!! Right now I am tearing the heck out of a flower bed near my garage. In the past, it has helped solidify my trashy neighbor status in the neighborhood. Seriously, this "flower bed" is a freaking nightmare. Being the ambitious person that I am (sometimes), I decided to tear it all out (YIKES!) and plant a veggie garden there. Really, it is an amazing area. I like to think I'm about half way done tearing stuff out, but deep down I know I did the easy half and have a decent amount of work ahead of me. I keep thinking I should consult some experts on how to lay out my veggie garden. But really, the idea of planning it all out is a little too much for me. I'm feeling more a "fly by the seat of my pants" attitude to learning to garden. I think A might be totally shocked that I am actually working so hard to get this done. Hahahaha. I am notorious for starting outdoor projects and then never keeping up with it. Granted, at this point, we are at the very beginning of the season! I better not make any promises I can't keep! Maybe putting this into words on the Internet will force me to stick to it! Anyway, I've strayed from the funny story I wanted to write.....
At nap time, I went to put L to bed. He started getting all excited and yelling, "MOMMY, there's a bug in my bed"!!!! So I looked and there was a teeny little black ant. I squished it and didn't think anything of it. I finally got L in the bath (he was bouncing off the walls last night!) and went to his room to arrange his bed. I noticed a few more ants in his bed. I looked on the wall and there were a couple there too. I started to freak a little. I am not afraid of ants or anything, I just know my kid and that there is not a chance in hell he'd sleep with bugs! I tried moving his toddler bed away from the window (normally it's in front of the window....probably where the ants are coming from). I thought maybe he might sleep in his big bed (till I saw an ant there too!) I asked him if he'd sleep with me, I was answered with a solid "NO!!" He saw his toddler bed moved he said "No way....put my bed back!" Hahahaha. I called my mom because she was on her way to Walmart and begged for some nontoxic ant killer. What a job...hahaha....apparently there is no such thing. I googled ants and was told to try drawing lines in baking soda because ants don't like the feel of it on their feet. It was all pretty funny because I was freaking out and trying not to get L all hyped up. I was on the phone saying, "there are A-N-T-S in his B-E-D!!!!" My mom saved the day with some childproof ant traps. She held one up and said maybe they are childproof, but I have my doubts that it's L-proofed! Hahahaha....so we hid them behind his furniture. Thankfully, I didn't see any signs of ants this morning. Crisis averted. Maybe not in the least dramatic way, but averted none the less! Oh, by the way, A thinks there's a good chance my tearing up the flower bed is what got the ants all riled up. Nice one, Maggie!
