If you know me, you know how much i HATE winter, i dread it, and mourn the loss of summer. I just hate being cold, i hate the snow, i hate bundling up 4 kids just to go a few feet to get in a van, i hate trying to strap bundled kids in car seats, I hate the constant missing mittens, gloves, boots, i just hate winter.
That being said, at least in the winter i don't have to deal with bugs!!!!! I HATE BUGS!!!!! Oh i am ok with a few Fly's lady bugs, ants (although they do annoy me when they get in my house), but the rest of the population of bugs, i just don't care for them.
Also if you know me you probably know that i run screaming when i see a wasp or a bee. I will leave my children behind, just to get away from them, i hate them!! So far i have not seen any yet this year, but i know that any day they will arrive. Then last year, much to my horror, we had wasps/bees on steroids. I don't know what they are called, but they are HUGE!!!!! They scared the you know what out of me, almost to the point i dreaded going outside. I am not being overly dramatic, these bugs were huge and scary looking!!!
Ok, so aside from all of that, its the bugs i find in my basement laundry room that have me troubled and might just be whats sends me over the edge. I am not sure what these are called either, but i am guessing they belong in the centipede family. They are about 2 inches longs, have a zillion legs, look kind of hairy, they make me want to gag!! So last night i was sorting laundry and one fell out of some clothes i was folding (pardon me while i stop to gag and shudder) anyway, i quickly stomped on it, the legs separated from the body and started wiggling on their own (more gagging and shuddering). I had to stop doing laundry and just go upstairs and compose myself, i HATE THOSE BUGS! Its just a matter of time till their close relatives show up, they are a hard shelled smaller version with a few less legs, these also gross me out, but not quite as much.
How do i get rid of them? I can't stop doing laundry, but i don't know if i can survive a summer of these bugs in my house.....

In sickness and health.....
Yesterday Brian and i celebrated 9 years of marriage. I can't seem to grasp that we have been married nine years, so much has happened!! Here is a brief run down of our 9 blissful years of marriage:
April 14, 2000 we were married.
May 1 we moved into our new but very small house
Middle of May Brian starts his new job at American Identity and i start working at De Jong Oil
August 10, we have our first child, the one we thought we would never have, and figured she might be our only...if we only knew....
Fast forward to September of 2001, we decide that maybe we should try for another child, it could take awhile if ever and we wanted Morgan to have a sibling...we got our wish!
October we discover that we are expecting our second child, evidently its not really all that hard for me to get pregnant.
July 31, 2002, we have out second child, a boy
October of 2002 we discover that our house is a bit small for 4 people so we decide to add onto our house. We double the size of our house thinking this should be plenty of room for our family...again, if only we knew.
May 2003 our house is finished and we are excited to have all this new space.
June 2003 Dylan is diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, its a blow but its one we get through together and are still getting through.
October 2003 Brian starts a new job at Revival animal health.
January 2004, we learn that once again we are expecting a child, not planned, but we are excited.
September 22, 2004 Logan is born.
October 2004 Brian starts another new job and Walstra Plumbing and heating and i am happy to say he is still working there!
March 2006 we once again discover that i am a fertile Myrtle and i am yet again pregnant. Brian comes close to passing out, but again, once the shock wears off, we are looking forward to another child.
September 2006 we decide again that maybe our house is still not big enough. So we should finish off our basement, we need a place for all our kids to go and play. Plus we needed another bedroom. We decide to remodel our house.
November 22, 2006 Jackson arrives-red hair and all!!
December 22, 2006 we decide that our family is complete and Brian goes running to the doctor to make sure it stays complete:)
June 2007 our remodel is done and our house is finished!!
I guess its no wonder that the past 9 years have flown by, we have been really busy. Its nice to know that after 9 years the romance is still there. This year i was sick on our anniversary, i had strep throat. Strep throat can be misleading, its not just your throat that hurts, although that does really hurt. Your entire body HURTS!!! I was feeling fairly miserable. Brian comes home from work, grabs my hand, shake it and says "happy anniversary, this is as close as i am getting to you." Awww...he is so sweet:) I guess i can't blame him. He did however buy me roses and he NEVER buys me flowers so that was really sweet.
So i am excited for the next nine years, anxious to see what the future holds....hopefully not any more babies or home remodels....
