What a morning this has been.  Hopefully things pick up, but so far it doesn’t look like it

I started things off early (6:30am) today.  I know that isn’t early for some of you, but we typically don’t get up until sometime shortly after 7am.  I began by gathering as much garbage as I could.  You see, in our area of town, they only do garbage collection every other Thursday and sometimes (when they don’t show up before I wake) on Tuesdays.  I ended up spending an hour gathering up all the garbage and ironing my clothes for work.  Yes, I know how to iron and while it isn’t one of my favorite things to do, it is necessary to look half presentable for work.  For whatever reason, our dryer decides to take all our clothes and crumple them into tiny balls.  Even my jeans are wrinkled beyond wear and I have to iron those as well.

The weather has been getting nicer lately and as such we’ve started buying freezies for the kids.  Well, finding a bunch (at least 5) freezie wrappers and a jello container in the corner by the TV COVERED in ants was the last straw.  Needless to say, my kids are officially grounded from ALL snacks today and probably tomorrow too.  There were literally hundreds of ants everywhere.  If you remember last year, we had an ant problem as well and it was a bugger to get rid of them.  In fact, I don’t think there was ever a point last year where we truly got rid of all the ants, we just make sure we were careful with the food and such on the floor and keep things clean so they wouldn’t come around as much.
