Childbirth was nothing compared to the pain I just experienced. So, I'm outside trying to trim back some shrubs so I can paint the house and guess what I disturbed? A yellow jacket's nest. Got one sting on my left thumb and on my um, backside. Little sucker flew up my pants and bit me right in the um, well you can guess. I'm just thankful it was only two stings.
Many years ago my sister, as a child, stepped on a nest and our neighbor at that time rescued her. And trust me, rescue is a the perfect word. These little bastards could kill you and the sting is a dull, throbbing pain. Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!
Do these evil bugs have a purpose? I'm going to Wikipedia them and see what the story is, and how to get rid of them. I'm just thankful the boys weren't with me.
Oh and did I mention I freaked out my poor neighbors? They came running as I went screaming into my house. Great. Before I was just the angry white lady, now I'm the crazy, angry white lady. This is not good for my image. (sigh)
