Okay, so yesterday morning was one of the most, I hesitate to say dreadful, how about...interesting...of my life. I woke up with all these plans for my morning before breakfast but...plans changed.
I went over to brush my teeth in the kitchen sink because Kaitlyn was in the bathroom and I was just tidying it up a little and I suddenly I become aware of dozens of little black things crawling everywhere! UGH! Have I ever mentioned how much I HATE ants!!?!??! Well anyways, I couldn't exactly brush my teeth with disgustingness all over the place so I started cleaning up. There were a few dishes as well as a carton of grapes that had attracted the horde...grapes went into the garbage, dishes in the sink and out came the 'Shout'. (I have discovered that cleaners kill ants quickly right where they happen to be scurrying...halted said scurry.) So as the room fills with the slightly toxic smell of chemicals, I grab some toilet paper...didn't have paper towel and start wiping up the swarm. THEN I realize, not only are they all over the counter, they are harvesting a spill of oats off the floor! As I tried to keep myself from blowing up in frustration or throwing up in disgust, I get out the Shout again and spray away. (At least the floor is nice and clean there) So I finally got them all and was able to brush my teeth. Of course, it wasn't 3 minutes later that more showed up - apparently the message hadn't got back to the main base yet. After killing those ones (with Shout of course - this is turning into a commercial), I starting thinking maybe I should have just left them, they could have cleaned up the mess for me!
Anyways that was my fantastic morning, half an hour of killing ants and almost being late to breakfast!
