The sandbox is up and running. Just when I feel like I've accomplished something of value, a giant pile of shit drops dead center. The gnarly toothed landscaper that dug out the area for the aforementioned item told my mother yesterday that there are ants in the stump where I cut the tree down. That's right where the yard and a half of fresh sand is. Thanks, jackass.
I just don't notice that stuff. Yeah, I see the ants. I just didn't know they were going to make my backyard their Babylon. If there's one thing I hate it's lawncare and pesticides and chemicals. I have a 'managed' weed patch.
Fuck weed killer and fertilizer. I let the annoying Dandelions bloom defiantly in the sun. Last year I had the sleepy creepy Earwigs at the doorstep lounging in the woodchips and milkweed and this year it's a Vegas sized ant farm.
I went to the overpriced hardware store this afternoon(support the local fuckwads and all) and bought some spray that hooks up to a garden hose. Ortho Max says it kills all kinds of common pests in your garden and lawn.
$30 frickin' bucks later as I peel back the label it says it kills fleas, ticks and foraging fire ants IN THE LAWN. No mention of the typical bastard black ant. I hooked it up and sprayed away. Would Snowflake listen and stay off the grass?
"Fine! Run through the grass. I could care less if you sprout a few new testicles!"
I swear I love him as much as those damn ants sometimes. He is so much like me and at three he is just as stubborn as Yosemite Sam. I cherish this characteristic and loathe it. My blood boils. I do not want a Super Brat. I don't want to be a Super Bitch to him either.
I don't want him to grow up and be just another ant like me. I don't like ants.

The Many Faces of MsMamma
It always freaks me out when I take a photograph of myself. I never think I look like I do, but I must. I think I look different in every photo. I am not photogenic. Sunday my mother curled my hair for 'fun'. Here's a little threesome starring me.
MsMamma as Robert Plant:

MsMamma as herself( at 'werk') a few seconds ago:
That's just weird.

The Darkside
I hate to confess it, but 'someone' in the household has a problem and it's not me. Lately 'someone' has taken to picking their nose and snacking on it. Yesterday on the way home, I spied this 'someone' in the rearview all snuggly in the five point harness with a finger half way to Corpus Callosum. Immediately, in a booming supermarket loudspeaker voice I honk,
"Troll Gold Alert! Troll Gold Alert! Waaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaah!"
Shocked is an understatement. He looked at me and busted out laughing like I've never heard him before.
I've told him that was "troll gold" before. Boogers. Nose crust. Critters.
"You do know that if you continue to do this, you will turn into a toothless troll, right?"
"Nah-uh" he squeaks, giggling.
"Well, everytime I see you do that I'm going to sound the 'troll gold alert' and I don't care where we are or who we're with," I say.
In the past I've used the troll as a threat. Lately he avoids brushing his teeth and I have to do it. My friend told me that they tell their little boy that his teeth will turn black if he doesn't brush. He snaps to it. For me, this turned into,
"You're teeth are going to turn black, fall out AND you'll turn into a troll!"
50/50 chance it works. Not everything little Sweet Pea does is so adorable. He prefers to run around half naked and even when it's freezing out, he'll come spinorking outside to frolic, dangling his bits to the wind as if he were some little extra on 'Quest for Fire.' Oblivious to people, he's all non-chalant and free.
I'm enjoying it while it lasts, nose gourmet and all.
