Ants! Ants! Everywhere! Help, Somebody....PLEEEZE!

I have posted this on Facebook pages, but I am appealing to my blog readers as well, hoping that any passers-by will read this and have an idea.

I am pretty sure my house has landed on the mother load of all ant hills.  I have seen lots of ants before, but never as stubborn as these.  I get them in my kitchen and my little bathroom.  Pretty common, I am sure.  The thing I am baffled with is why, when I use every cleaner I can POSSIBLY think of, they come back 10 minutes later, sometimes with a vengeance.  I have a cat, so buying lots of chemicals is not an option.

I know you all are very cleaver.  Thank you for your help!!

Trying to Fly

Well, it has been a really long time.  I have a dear friend from high school that is a part of Flylady that has encouraged me, just by being her, to restart my path to success.  I know I should not say I am starting from the beginning, but I have been gone so long, I really need to.  I have long battled migraines.  I used to be on a medication called Topomax that really helped me.  I went off of it for some reason that I can't remember.  I AM on a lot of other things and I think it might be the interaction of all the others.

Needless to say, I feel very depressed that my house and my family have been neglected.  My goal, besides getting to the monthly schedule, is to make meals that are healthier for my family.  It has been hard for me because my husband works nights and it is just me and my kids during the week.  It is just easier to pop a can.  I am very motivated by television, and so I feel that I need to be there (probably due to my ADD, it turns my brain off.)

I really need encouragement.  I know I felt better about myself when I was doing things for my home and family.  I know that my online friends are helpful.  I was wondering what else would help.  I have Skype.  If anyone thinks that would help, let me know, I would love to try that.  I am a follower, a direction person, and I love being with people.  Look me up, under Amy n Ken.  The picture should be a black and white picture of my husband and I.  I would love to chat with you face to face and have you encourage me.

Well, that is all for now.  God Bless you all.  I hope to hear from you, in some way!
