FIREANTS!!

Ok...mommy almost had a coronary yesterday. The nanny called while I was at work and said there were fireants ALL over the girls nursery!! This was only 30 minutes after I got to work so they had to have been coming in during the night and we didn't notice. I was a mess trying to get home, imagining the worst that could have happened if they had gotten on little Kayla (who sleeps in a bouncy chair on the floor of that room) or on her while the night nanny changed her (as they were all over the changing table and rocking chair). After frantically calling the exterminator (Terminix rocks by the way...he was there within 20 minutes of me calling!!!) and killing the evil things, I was finally able to relax. We have no idea how they got in, but my poor day nanny got bit several times and amazingly Kayla didn't have a bite on her, despite having several ants get on her. Thank you Lord! My exterminator even came back last night after his shift to make sure that they were still gone and not trying to come in a different way, I love that man.

Anyway, had to throw away a HUGE thing of diapers as they were all inside the bag. Kiko came rushing home from work also to help me clean up their room and wash stuff. It also happened to be our wedding anniversary so it was kind of nice spending the day with him, even though it started off pretty rough.

I'm still pretty shook up from the whole situation, thinking of what could have happened to Kayla makes me start to cry. Sadly, this is the 2nd time I've had fireants get in the house in 3 years and I'm not sure how that is happening or how to prevent it from happening again! Anybody has any suggestions, we'd love to hear them!
