SHUT… THE… DOOR!

]]> I am so tired of finding flies on my sandwich if I leave it unattended for more than five seconds. I’m sick of the flies that have taken on characteristics of buzzards, as they loom over my head, waiting for me to take my eyes of of the food so they can swoop down and contaminate it. I am fighting a losing battle to keep these varmints out of my house. My kids are the reason that they keep gaining unlimited access to the haven that is our kitchen. Every time a kid goes in or out of the back door, there is a line of nasty little buggers, waiting to descend upon my food. It’s like an exclusive fly nightclub, except it isn’t exclusive. Any fly who wants a free meal is allowed to get in line and almost certain to gain entrance.

In addition to the fly problem, we are letting out all of the cool air that our energy efficient home works so hard to retain. I finally refused to turn on the air conditioner, just to cool all of the high desert. We are now sweating it out in an 82 degree house, all because my kids refuse to remember to shut the door. Yes, I suppose I could make them do the “open and close the door twenty times” activity, but then I would be doing that all day long. That activity works fine for a family with one or two kids, but seven? Not gonna happen. I seriously need to come up with a way for my kids to get the message that the door needs to stay closed at all times. Marye, I could really use your help, here!
