I am disgusted with our house. I loved it for a little while but now I don’t want to even be in it. I have caught no less than 5 lizards this week in this house. I had that snake last week. There are spiders and last night there was an infestation of ants that had to be dealt with at midnight. Hundreds of them were coming in the back door and were all over the living room floor and baseboards. There was no food or dead anything for them in there. Now, my vacuum cleaner is in the garage because there are ants inside of it. God only knows when my husband will get around to cleaning it out and bringing it back inside.
Then, there is the dust issue. Having dogs means having dander and it seems like no matter how much I dust, it comes right back within a day. I really wish I didn’t have them most days. Yes, I love them and can’t imagine my life without them. However, I’m too clean for them. I know having a child will be messy. But it’s a different messy. Not a dander, pee on everything type messy. My kid probably won’t have it’s anal glands pop on my sofa.
Let’s not even talk about the carpet. The carpet that I won’t let a child touch or crawl on. Not ever. If we move shortly after I have the child though, there is no reason to replace the carpet.
My house makes me itch.
Oh my, I am SOOOOO bad - I didn’t even realise you had such wonderful news! Congratulations sweetie xx

Girl, save up and buy you a Dyson. I have one and it rocks. You think your place is clean until you vacuum. Ug. Nasty.
I hate ants.

Auntie Gracie’s Solutions:
I hate ants too.
“409″ disinfectant cleaner kills ants without the chemical burn that sits in my nostrils for days. Once the lil buggers die, you simply use a damp towel to wipe ‘em into their burial chamber (garbage can).
Get a bassinet on wheels and you can bring that baby anywhere you want it to be without ever having to put it on a floor.
If you choose to lay the baby on the floor, put down a comforter and let the baby roll around on it. Pick it up and fold it with the “floor” side out that way when you put it back down again, the baby won’t be touching the side that was on the floor.
I’ve moved my blog. The new address is http://sthrnbygrace.wordpress.com/
Stop by and see me sometime, ya hear? lol

the kids anal glands wont pop but their Pampers will! I can not even tell you how many poopsplosions we’ve had. This is not even to mention the whole trying to potty train, human sprinkler, the world is my toilet phase
Plus growing up with pets will lessen your child’s chances of having acute allergies. Consider your dander producing pups to be helping instead of driving you to destraction. Thanks for thinking of me today
