Spring is here...

...and so are the creepy crawlies. Yay! Hello, spider in my bathtub, yes, I would love to have a gaping gangrenous sore, so please, enjoy our home - while I grab some wasp spray and douse the bathroom. Hahaha!

So anyway, with all the beautiful weather is coming all the charming bugs that the South has to offer. Our house is very old, and although I love old houses, they're very leaky. 

What we have seen in the past two weeks:
Ants
Roaches
Wolf spiders
Mouse droppings
Countless pantry moths
WASPS
Did I mention spiders?
And the WASPS??

I sat down to play the piano a couple days ago, but when I opened it up there was a red wasp sitting on the keys. I screamed and jumped backward off the bench (All I need to be an Olympic jumper is a good supply of wasps). I sprayed it to death, because sadly I'm too much of a chicken to swat it. Now I'll be paranoid of  playing for a long time. I'm imagining wasps under everything! 

Thankfully the mice in our house haven't been followed by snakes... yet.

Random 6 o'clock Blog Post

Here I am at six in the morning, writing instead of sleeping. I've had a busy, fun, and productive week! I got quite a bit of driving in, even a little practice on wet roads, and drove somewhere I haven't driven before. I took the baby to see her great aunt Wilma, our visit was too short, but I hope we can go back next week. My plan was to drive to Wilma's, then church, then home, but it POURED as we were about to leave her house, so Garrett's dad drove to church. I never thought I'd be the weird mom at church until we started homeschooling, but people already know I'm different. I guess you can't hide the weird!! Haha! I let a lady at church hold Anna, and when she went to her seat with the baby, I followed her. She thought it was pretty strange, but I'm going to be where my baby's at, no matter who holds her. I so love watching the older ladies at church hold her and enjoy her. There are so few babies to enjoy. Most of them have 2 or 3 grandch...
