So the purpose of this post is really just to make sure I don't forget the list of following events. And while I'm at it maybe i can provide a bit of laugher for any overwhelmed individual or frazzled momma out there.
Life is kinda crazy right now. Sometimes life is crazy and I thrive on the excitement, and other times I pray for normalcy...right now is the later. Although these are some of the minor details in the grand scheme of things, they were the icing on the cake...
We got invaded by bugs. This alone seems manageable, but along with the other details of my life, I'm not handling it well. The sad thing is their resilience. We sprayed...sprayed with new spray...spread bug killing crystals along our foundation, sprayed again, set of three bug bombs, and sprayed again. But alas, the bugs are not gone. This brings us to another fun lewicki fact: our basement keeps flooding...it could be worse, but it could be a lot better. This spring a pipe was leaking and one corner of our main room downstairs felt the wet effects. This summers rain has attacked the laundry room and bedroom closet...and with every down pour, the bugs somehow dominate our killing devices, and make an appearance.
Joel was working hard yesterday to prepare our back yard for the rain we're supposed to be getting today and tomorrow, and i was hanging out with a teething boy in the yard (4 at once!), thinking about the mouse my mom thinks she saw in the garage. Benjamin was ready to get out of the pool, so i stripped him of his swim trunks and soaked diaper, and took my naked baby inside. Well, i walked inside and set Benjamin down to go get him a diaper. I saw Benjamin dart off and realized a glass of Pepsi got left in arms length of the little guy. I didn't make it in time, andt he Pepsi was all over the carpet. As I went to go get a towel I saw the road runner take off for the hall way where the gate was left open...So I ran to shut that and got distracted after closing the gate. After soaking up the Pepsi and picking up some stuff in our bedroom, I realized Benjamin was kinda whimpering in the kitchen. Well, I forgot to put a diaper back on him, and he was slipping and sliding on the linoleum in his own pee.
I cleaned off, and diapered my poor little boy, and just sat down on the couch and laughed...There wasn't much else to do at that point, so thank you Jesus for a sense of humor!

Thought I would let you know we have used http://www.preferredpestmgmt.com/ to solve a carpenter ant problem we had for a couple years. They are attracted to soft, wet wood like termites. After trying to tackle the problem ourselves, I called him, and he quoted me only $10 mores than I had spent trying to do it myself. Plus he is a Christian! Praying for your humor and water!
