Under Attack

Yesterday after running some errands, I came home to find 3 huge mounds of these buggers on my carpet in my living room! We were under attack from these flying carpenter ants, it was disgusting!! They were all over my rug, the carpet, the fireplace, and my window sills. I was already having a not so good day so this was my breaking point. Whenever I look at a bug or a swarm of bugs it makes me itchy all over like their on me. I called our pest control people and they had a guy serving the PMC area that day so they had him come over to take a look. He told me that the only real way to get rid of them would be to put this gel down and they then take it back to their nest to kill the nest. Not super comforting, but he sprayed inside and out as well. I had already soaked my carpet and window sills in a can of raid to kill them while I was waiting for him to show. I sat in the bathroom since that was about the only safe bug free place while I waited. Emmitt & Alaina were in their rooms taking naps. The ants have disappeared for now but I suspect that's not the last time it will happen. We think their coming in through the chimney since this house doesn't have a closure in the chimney to keep them out.

It has been one HOT summer so far, at least it feels that way being in the last part of my pregnancy and having no A/C. That's one quick way to make a pregnant woman more irritable stick her in a non air conditioned house for the summer. LOL! We had the A/C guys come out today to see if they could fill up our unit with freon but they didn't have nearly enough so they will be back out by tmrw or saturday to fix it for us. Apparently the unit has a leak so the coolant is bone dry. Boy will I be glad when they fix it for us!! The house stays about 85-95 during the day without it. :(

As for everything else were surviving. Kurts been busy which is good finance wise. Emmitt starts soccer next month, and were looking into dance for Alaina. They will hopefully also both be in preschool starting next month as well. Pregnancy's still going good. I went and bought one of those maternity support belly bands for working out in. Being at the last months of my pregnancy working out is putting alot of pressure down low so the band really helps relieve my stomach and lower back. I had my rhogam shot today so we are set and I am ready to have him here already! :)
