Termites!

We have termites.  We had termites last year too and just got half the house treated. (very bad advice from someone I used to use to do termite inspections).  We saw the mud tunnel on the window molding right above where I sleep!  

Saturday OK Termite came out to do a full barrier treatment on our house.  They dug trenches around our house and filled them with poison, they drilled every 12 inches and shot more poison into our house, and made pin wholes on the wall where we saw the termites and shot poison foam into the wall that spreads up and out throughout the inside of the wall.  All this from a person that doesn't spray her garden for pests.

Something that they didn't tell me about termites is that they were going to come out of the wall to die!  What!  I went into my room and I stepped on a termite.  Then I started looking around and they were EVERYWHERE!  On my bed, on my pillow, crawling on the wall above my bed all dead on the window seal, and dead on the floor.  YUCK!

I am disgusted!  The termite people said that this will taper off within a day or so.  So, I guess we will be sleeping in the guest bedroom for a few days!

Ewwww! So sorry! I guess the good thing is that you can get rid of them before the baby comes home! Speaking of baby, how are you holding up? There's been so much good news lately, I just KNOW you'll be making a happy announcement soon!

Isn't it amazing to realize that your baby is probably already born and being loved by his/her foster family? Thinking of you and can't wait for you to get your referral call!
