Thank you

Thank you so much for all the remedies... some of you wondered what happened... I was trimming the bushes in our NEW backyard (more to come on that soon) .... it was at the end of the day, so it wasn't the best light to be working in. I would feel things as the bushes it the ground, but I thought it was just little spidery things or something that were in the bushes, so I just kept going. The next morning I noticed the little bumps all over my leg. I thought I might have Bed Bugs! Yuck!! But Cody didn't have any, so I ruled that out. Then as Cody was sweeping the bushes up he was showing me all the ants on the ground. I knew there was some... BUT HOLY MOLY!! There are MILLIONS of them!! We are working on that now. But anyway... they got more an more itchy, and with the itching, more inflammed, but I couldn't stop! I made it so much worse. I even ended up with burns on my ankles, cause I was using the carpet like material ottoman edge as my scratcher... and boy did it feel good for the moment, but it sure isn't now. It's so sensitive, and of course when something is hurt or sensitive it always gets hit on touched by something! So fun times! I'm really hoping to get back on here soon to update all the happenings! Love you all! MUAH

Yikes! That's happened to me before. Buy some aloe spray for burns and bug bites. It really relieves!

Holy Cow Steph! How do you not notice ants are bitting you! You must be way tuffer that I am! I hope it gets better FAST!

Sprinkle Borax around where you see the ants. It's cheap and works. Benadryl cream works good on itchy bites. I miss seeing you in the ward and have wanted to stop by and see all that you have done. Maybe in a couple of weeks after you get back from Utah. Have fun!
