Battleling Scorpions!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I've been away and haven't been blogging lately. I've been super busy with the move, we've been at our new place for almost 1 week now! So we bought a house that was a foreclosure and needed some work. The house was vacant for at least 3-4 months and the people who lived there before really trashed the place (rotting food in the fridge). Yeah really gross. But we looked past that 'cause we knew a little TLC , new paint and flooring would make the difference. Hopefully I'll post some before and after pics and you'll see what I mean!

Since the house was vacant for so long, you can imagine there was a pest problem. We immediately hired an exterminator after several failed attempts of killing them ourselves with sprays, bombs, you name it. We've been battleling scorpions and brown recluse spiders! Before we moved in we wanted to make sure the pest issue was taken care of, obviously because of the kids. After the exterminator went out there everything appeared to be dead, no more bugs in the traps and no more scorpions- so we thought.

So we moved in and two days ago I find this:



I seriously tried but I couldn't force myself to step on it! I panicked and so I just brought out my vacume and vacummed the scorpion, took out the bag and placed it inside another bag and took it out to the trash! That really freaked me out, but we're having an exterminator come out here again to do his thing because I'm so scared I'm constantly looking at the floor and the kids wear their shoes 24/7!

So I've just been busy with the kids, unpacking, painting, cleaning, you know the drill. It's so stressful when you move. I just felt so overwhelmed with the to do list that comes with moving! But things are finally settling down and the worst part is over! I'm hoping to jump back and start blogging some more here really soon!
