ब्लॉग २ अंतस

I am sitting next to my 7yo son and trying to ignore his nonstop one sided conversation with his Pokemon game. I am also trying to think of ways to be a more involved mother but it takes a lot of effort that I'm not sure I'm willing to expend today. So I'm writing about stuff instead of doing things. We live on a farm. Not a real farm where people work and earn their living but the kind where people say, "oh isn't that just lovely, they must be rich". We have 10 acres, a big house built in the 80's, barn, fencing, trees, 2 bulldogs, 1 "heidi" dog (breed created by randomness which I have named), 4 cats (outside of course), 2 frogs, 1 pony, 1 horse, and ANTS. The ants adopted us unlike the other animals who we cornered trapped and drug home to improve our own lives. The ants have moved in on their own. This is the 3rd year that they have chosen our abode to harbor them in their little tiny quest for survival. Right now their climbing up the kitchen wall next to the door. We have had the exterminator out so many times I can't count. Oh shoot, the 7yo just read what I wrote about ignoring him. He had a surprised look on his face i guess I've had him fooled this long which is pretty good I think. I told him I love him, gave him a kiss, and told him I'm just trying to be funny. That fooled him pretty well. He just rambled on some more and I smiled and nodded and made approving noises. 7you STOP READING OVER MY SHOULDER!!!!! Okay that made him laugh and I can go back to the business of talking about our pet ants. They are climbing up the kitchen wall between the outside door and the cabinet of dishes. Ooh 7yo just reported they are in the bathroom also, I'm going to confirm in a few minutes. Bugs in the bathroom make me nervous because I'm afraid when I go they might get in my drawers. Oh nice he just told me something funny and won't let me tell you. Trust me it was funny, but I don't want to totally scar him for life so I'm not sharing with you right now. Maybe later when I can figure out a way to shake him. Not really shake him like "shaken baby syndrome" I mean as get him occupied doing something else so I can be free to post things that might embarrass him. We also have ants in the kitchen sink, yes it is clean of food and grime. I use windex on them to kill them instantly. Just like "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" windex works on a lot of things but it doesn't fix the ant problem permanently it just kills whatever fresh batch has arrived in the sink. I used it on the wall too but I don't tell my husband because he will lecture me on windex possibly getting on the wood of the door or the cabinets. If it gets on the door I would feel like, who cares the door is 24 years old do you really think that my windex is going to be the destruction of the door?" and if if gets on the fancy IKEA cabinets it will hopefully destroy them and I can get some new ones. Everytime my mother comes to visit she wants to put chemicals on the plants and animals to make them grow better and produce healthier fruit. I have successfully prevented her from doing this by claiming that I am sort of an environmentalist and don't want chemicals in our fruit and ground water. I really think it's just a control issue with me though and just don't want her to take over the plants and animals. She always told me that possession was 9/10ths of the law and I don't want her being able to claim any ownership over here and try to move in. When it comes to the ants I'm at the point of considering seriously toxic chemicals to get rid of them, like vaseline or hairspray. Awesome my title is in Hindi I think. I was goofing around with the settings earlier an evidently that is what I unwittingly accomplished. MY TITLE IS: "BLOG 2 ANTS"
