One quick note, what is the deal with the stupid ants in Texas! I have spent almost half of my morning sharing the focus with Bella on her poor little foot that is covered with itchy, red, bumpy blisters! Two days ago, despite the fact that I repeatedly told Bella (and Andy) No Dirt!! not shockingly she ended up squatting with a stick in her tiny hand firmly shoved smack-dab in the middle of an ant pile. By the look of her foot, the ants did not enjoy her visit. But Bella however had the time of her life! If it weren't for the foot covered in blisters you would have no idea that they absolutely bit the crap out of her. The kid didn't even make a peep. Now in my opinion my child happens to have an extremely high pain tolerance. In fact, there was a point when she was a baby (and I had spent entirely too much time alone with a baby, no car and way too much Oprah) that I almost convinced myself that Bella had that rare disease where you never feel any pain.
Side Note to Elaborate: Did anyone else see that Oprah with the kid in the goggles and helmet who had to have her teeth pulled out to keep her from chewing her own tongue off?? I am not making fun, but geez how much would that suck...I mean really.
So anyway, for some reason I started to think that maybe Bella had some sort of neurological disorder that kept her from feeling any pain because even though she was dramatic, stuff didn't seem to hurt like it should. I knew that this was leaning towards the "lady who keeps bags of her kids hair under the bed" life style, so soon after I decided that I needed to limit my Oprah intake. However then I moved onto Little People Big World and what followed was a slight season when I thought that Bella might be an LP. But Andy totally played into that one too so it wasn't just me!
Anyway, all of this is to say that I am counting the minutes until Trey from Adam's Pest Control knocks on my door with his jug of bug killer and eliminates the Tilly Ant Sanctuary in our backyard. And as for the LP thing, everyone assures me that Bella is not a dwarf, just petite.

ok, so no more drinking any liquids when reading your posts...sudden laughter and liquid in the mouth do not mix!
Don't ever watch "Mystery Diagnosis". It will keep you up all night searching out information on Web MD.
When we moved to Texas the ants formed a welcoming comittee around our flower beds. I sort of ignored them until I was planting some begonias and they swarmed my hand like an Alfred Hitchcock movie. I became a screaming banshee until I turned the water hose on myself and blasted those babies down to the gulf of Mexico, which made absolutely no dent whatsoever in the overall population. "Freakin ants"...
