So while it wasn’t raining and we had record-breaking heat, we didn’t have one of summer’s most miserable nuisances–

MOSQUITOES.

With the return of the rain, we’ve had an outbreak of epic proportions.  We can’t open the door without the blood-suckers swarming inside the house and taking the dog out requires Off repellent in gallon quantities.  Terrible, terrible.  I *hate* mosquitoes. 

Thankfully my dh has been outside–being eaten alive, no less-fogging and spraying our yard in an attempt to kill off a few of the little vampires.  Eek!  Is a happy medium too much to ask?  Why must everything be one extreme or the other. 

Damn.  It’s not even Wednesday yet.
