32 mosquito bites...

...and counting, thanks to our mutual activity last night. (I was just called to be the beehive advisor, working with the 12 and 13 year old young women in our ward.) Yes, I did put on plenty of bug spray, I was swatting my arms and legs at all times, and no I will probably not be visiting Willow Park ever again.

And, yes, one little pest did make it down my shirt.

Sorry to hear about the bites! Since it's unclear how safe bugspray is for pregnant women I've been experimenting with different things to keep bugs away. I heard that rubbing a dryer sheet on you and then putting it in your pocket will keep mosquitoes away. I've tried it a few times and it really seems to work! I've also heard that spraying listerine on yourself is the best repellant but I haven't tried that one yet:o) I guess the thought of walking around smelling like mouthwash is weird to me...I'd rather smell like clean laundry.

Pure misery.

UGH! I hate it. I get eaten alive, and Jake gets nary a bite. Brat.

Ugh, I can't believe they eat right through your OFF spray. And into your clothes. They are vish (my new favorite abbreve).
