This is what our living room currently looks like...... our bed taking up the whole floor and our couch is the new headboard haha. Let me take a minute to explain. The last 2 weeks, our house has been having some issues! We had to buy a new garbage disposal, the house was filled with a horrible smell (that we fixed by pouring water down a drain in our storage room), and then our bedroom and bathroom became infested with bugs!!! We're not sure why, but there are millions of bugs living in the weeds right outside the windows in our room and bathroom. (I also want to mention that we don't have weeds because we're too lazy to weed our yard... we live on a big undeveloped hill, so the whole hill is covered in weeds) They are tiny tanish-white bugs with wings. On Friday I started noticing them in our room, but didn't think much of it, until I started to feel them on me while I was falling asleep. On Saturday, they were ALL over our room! When I pulled back our bed covers, there were like 20 in our sheets!!!! Sick right? This house is a little old, and for some reason there are holes in our window sills that go to the outside.... which means that all sorts of bugs can come in. And it also doesn't help that we had an A/C in the window right above our bed... which Mitch sealed off the best he could, but I'm sure they could still get in there too. Needless to say, I freaked out! I made Mitch take the A/C out and then we duct taped all around the windows and over the holes. Then we sprayed bug spray ALL over the windows. And I should mention that there were hundreds of them flying around our room by this point. I stripped the bed down to wash the sheets and then literally started vacuuming them off the walls, windows, bed and floor. After a few hours we got most of them killed. Later that night, we went into our room to go to sleep and realized that our room was now about 10 degrees hotter than the rest of the house. I don't know about you, but I don't sleep well when I'm hot. I should also mention that our ceiling fan broke about a week ago too. So we did the obvious thing to do in this situation....... we drug the matress into our living room and decided to make that our bedroom for a while haha. It's taken some getting used to, but it's worked out pretty well. On Monday, Mitch's parents Kim and Becky came over to try to help us get rid of the bugs. They burnt a lot of the weeds on that side of the house and sprayed LOTS of bug spray on that whole side of the house. I should have taken pictures... the walls were COVERED with millions of them! Mitch said that when he went outside to look at them, they were so loud it sounded like running water! Hopefully on Saturday Mitch will be able to get our A/C back in and seal it off with some spray foam stuff, so that we can start sleeping in the bedroom again. Honestly, I think Mitch will miss sleeping in front of the big TV that has satellite ;) Anyways, there's my fun little story about why we're sleeping in our living room. I hope you're not all itchy now...... because everytime I talk/think about it, I get super itchy!
