This is what I really look like at the end of the day.

And don't even pay any attention to my counter or shelves that look terrible. Or maybe you should pay more attention to those than to me. Although, the picture is so small you can't really tell how "awful" I look. Maybe it is more of a feeling. And maybe the counter has something to do with why I look this way. I guess what I really need to do is clean - everything - because I'm really tired of the ants. I have waged one too many wars and they are still coming back for more. I can't really explain it - you just have to live it. They come in through the windows, the doors, the electrical outlets, the breaker box, the washing machine drain pipe, the ceiling... And most often they end up in the kitchen, on the counters, in the cupboards, under the stove, by the sink, and even in a cup of water that was holding a twig from a tree I wanted to plant! Those crazy bugs are making me crazy! Or maybe it's the bug killing spray that I've been spraying everywhere that is making me crazy.

NO really, I'M FINE! Just thought I'd vent for a bit!

I had a good time with Ben this afternoon, while the three older girls were at a friends house. We went to the shacks and got some produce and a limeade. Then we went home and we made a popsicle stick frame. He has wanted to do a project with those for a really long time. (He started off saying years but changed his mind and said weeks.) So it was a nice day!
