Ant Attack!

Last night Austin needed his hair cut and I usually cut it outside. It has been raining off and on the past week so mosquito's are really bad. We decided to cut it in the house so we wouldn't get bit. I borrowed my neighbors little hand vac so I could hopefully not get hair tracked all over my freshly swept and moped floor. I cut his hair and vacuumed up all the hair. I didn't want to return the hand vac without cleaning it out. I went out to the trash cans and was trying to get the little filter thing off the vacuum. I finally got the filter off and I started to feel these sharp pains all over my feet. I looked down and I was standing right in the middle of an ant pile!!! I had ants all over my feet raging war on them! I dropped the vacuum and frantically brushed at my feet. The more I brushed the more the ants bit. I finally killed or brushed off all the ants. My feet felt like they were on fire! I grabbed the vacuum and moved to the other side of the trash cans hurried and emptied the vacuum ( I had to finish the job I had started) then I ran as fast as I could in the house. By this time my feet were stinging and itching like crazy! I ran up stairs with Allie fresh on my heels into the bathroom. I threw back the shower curtain turned on the cold water to soak my feet. Austin and Allie were both asking what was wrong. I couldn't even concentrate long enough to answer them. All I could get out was " I went out to the trash and " I guess I quit after I said that because Austin and Allie were both still staring at me like I was nuts. Austin finally guessed what had happened. I finished washing my feet off and examined the damage. I counted 14 bites on my feet and 3 on my hands. Ugh!! I couldn't believe how bad the little stinking ant bites could sting and itch. The rest of the night I kept feeling like I had ants crawling and biting my feet. My poor feet are fine today, thank goodness! I hope that I will always remember to look down from now on when I stand in 1 spot for long.
