So we’ve finally started work on the new house, moved a bunch of plants across two counties to get them there and it was too rainy to plant! So, like bib babies, the boys mowed the lawn in the pouring rain. Even with the rain, though (and in true Missouri fashion), there were already bugs everywhere. This bothers me so much, because being a semi-green, organics loving girl, the idea of spraying a lot of poison on what I’ll end up eating (or even just introducing those products into the environment) doesn’t appeal to me.

But at the same time I hate to start out in a new house with caterpillars and whatnot all over the place, eating all of the brand new plants. We may as well give up before we even start if that’s what’s going to happen, it’s not worth the fight sometimes. I want to try EndALL insect spray because, if the website’s information is anything to go by, it’s the be-all, end all of safe insect sprays.

They say it’s great for organic gardening, as it won’t leave your soil contaminated (dissolves into the soil!), and it’s safe to use for everything from fruits and veggies to flowers, trees and shrubs. Heck, you can even use it on your house plants to get rid of caterpillars, white flies, beetles, etc. without a lot of risk of contamination and harm to your family and pets.

I, personally, do not use insecticides due to their impact on not only the environment, but we’ve got a 4 month old white shepherd puppy who gets into absolutely everything, what if she were to dig in the garden and the ground were contaminated? I’d feel a lot better about using Safer® Brand End ALL to get rid of our pests, if for no other reason than to keep our Lilly from harm.

If you have this problem and have a few minutes, you should check out their website and do a little research on their products and tell me what you think.

Okay, fine, some people love their families – I can handle that, I can even almost believe it. But those people aren’t blessed with my mother and her band of miscreants (snicker).

The arguments aren’t getting any better, in fact they’re getting down-right personal. One of the big issues is that the new stepdad wants us ALL to work on huge business ventures together, plus be an immediate family with each other and, dude, that’s NOT going to happen. I’m sorry, I can’t handle it.

The reason they want businesses is that they want money (who doesn’t?), but the reason they want to be able to bully us emotionally if we don’t work hard enough for them. What that means is that if Laota and I want to, say, go to the store without consulting them not only are we horrible, selfish and lazy employees, but we’ve also let down the family and should be ashamed. I can’t handle this, it’s stupid and douchey.
