Disclaimer: This is a whiney, whoa is me post. If you don't want to read it, skip it.
We have a ton of them and they are becoming a nuisance. They weren't this bad last year. If you hear my co-workers, friends and neighbors talk about it; they don't remember when it's been this bad.
They are everywhere. When I walk outside, I'm surrounded, and they follow me into my car. They cover my dogs, which, when they come inside, bring the blood sucking capitalists into my palace. They are inside the buildings at work. Don't even get me started on the bug bite count from when I leave my car in the parking lot to when I get to my desk.
There is slapping, combined with the Georgia wave going on everywhere. My boss slapped me (I kid you not) on the forehead this afternoon. Her words? "Man that was a big mother."
There is nowhere you can go to get away from them. I'm not entirely sure but I think I've lost my mind. Well, to be truthful, I lost that a long time ago, but that's for a different post.
People, is it Friday yet?
- Tomorrow is my scheduled Friday off. I'm on call because they are getting ready for a hurricane. If that bitch comes ashore, I'm surely going to go have a word with Fred.
- My doctor’s appointment that I had schedule for today? The one I was ready for? Got rescheduled for Monday. It seems some idiot had some emergency that required surgery so they had to slip me in to another time slot.
- My youngest? We had a parent-teacher conference on Wednesday. Even though she got straight A's on the last report card, it seems she has a bit of a problem with understanding directions. There is a short in her processing ability. She'll be going in for testing to see if she qualifies for help.
- Both of my kids suffer from cognitive bedtime aversionitis (ok, I made that term up but I bet alot of you know what that means).
Ok...it's posting light tonight. The list could be endless but I want to go to bed. And bury myself underneath the covers where the mo-skeet-os can't bite me anymore.

Oh goodness, good luck against the bugs! I remember when locust hit PA a few summers ago and it was so annoying, but your situation is intensified times ten! Good luck!

I think all the extra water down south is causing a bumper crop of the blood-thirsty varmits Moogie. I know what you mean about the size of those mothers... I remember some in Texas that could carry off a VW, and they hunted in packs!

I used to write articles for the Florida Chamber of Commerce, but I'll have to admit that I did see a mosquito here once.

Ouch Moogie, sounds like you need the strong stuff we use to repel the highland midge so it don't bug us too much... oh and Wilma looks like it's gonna call on Mexico 1st.
