This evening, I took the kids to the studio to do some competition print creation. ๐ When we arrived, we found fire ants in my office and my black & white room. Ick! I was so mad. Anyway … I called my landlord and then decided to take matters into my own hand … so the girls, Joseph and I went to Lowes and bought Ant killer in various forms.
When we got back, Joseph went outside and was to spread it around the perimeter, while I killed all the ones that were inside.
After we were all done, we did the photography session and then Joseph took the girls out to the van so I could spray again and put down ant “traps”. Before he went out, we had this little conversation …
J: “Mom, is it ok if I tell my teacher about the ants?”
Me: “Uh, well … I’d prefer not, but it’s not a secret.”
J: “I’ll tell her you needed a man to handle it.”
How sweet is that? ๐ I could take that as an affront to womanhood, but I take it that my 10 year old boy was helping take care of his mom. ๐ Sniff sniff. ๐
