i need to pass along the secret for ants in Medford. It took me about a year of cursing ants before I finally found a product that works. It's called home advantage, and you spray it on the ants, as well as the trail that you can find them coming into your house through. Works wonders. I swear!
ReplyDeleteKatie, I'm glad you are back. I was getting worried that baby actually came early. When are you actually due?
ReplyDeleteI wish I had a maid. But then I'd have to clean before they came over. How about a toy picker upper and a declutterer with some sweeping thrown in? I want one of those. Oh, and world peace.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know...I often forget that you are pregnant. Thus the reason I don't touch your belly...distance I guess helps.
ReplyDeleteThanks also for your memory and thoughts of Grandpa...made me happy to remember that. Thanks.
Katie,
