Ants, Ants and more dang Ants

So as I mentioned yesterday was a football day last day of our regular season. (that WAS aHHHmAAAzing...kids won! Yay team you guys did a great job and I believe were the only team undefeated for the entire season)...pictures to be posted later!

So my house is currently under attack by Ants!! 

I hate, hate, hate ants. 

We normally have issues with them anyway but the rain has just made it so much worse. GROSS! I keep cleaning them up and their little friends keep coming along, they are not welcome! What does it take to get that point across. My toaster is currently on a time out outside because the ants have taken up residence there as well. The coffee pot and butter dish learned after the first time I cleaned them. I know that I need to spray where they are entering from but these crafty little creatures have hidden their point of entrance rather well. So I just keep spraying my little heart out. I am going to have to cave at one point and use stronger stuff which I really hate to do because of the smell and because it is in my kitchen and I just don't want to spray the chemicals in the same area that I prepare or have food in. 

Side note: should learn how to link to other blogs, found one while posting this note about ANTS that is very similiar to mine and wanted to link. **another blog about these little pests**
(yay I did it see my link above)

Ok these little buggers have taken enough of my energy, on to other topics

THEN Friday I get to rest...no but it sure sounds good! 

Friday - is the boys first day of tournament for football. It continues through Saturday possibly Sunday oh and did I mention its two hours away so we will probably be commuting since I have not made reservations anywhere (joys of being unemployed) and am hesitant due to my stuff being stolen out of my garage while I was home...NICE (yes I live in the ghetto)

I also need to finish reading on how to blog and maybe make money from it or at least get a following, I do know that the layout I currently have is not the one I want but just have not figured out how to do it yet. 

And want to learn how to make clickable links on the top portion of my blog, for the about me, the books I am reading, photos, and other good stuff... I have not fully decided and my random quirkyness leeps changing my mind, maybe I should make another list?
