Seriously Bugged

I am pretty well organized so I keep an "essentials" bag in the back of the minivan at all times.  It contains a first-aid kit, sunscreen, bug spray, a box of assorted OTC medications, etc., etc.  We took the kids to the river this year for the first time and . . . well, to quote Jack, "Mom, I think somebody switched this "Off" for some "On."  This is a particularly bad mosquito year where we live, we had a swarm INSIDE THE VAN, and we all got covered with welts - particularly poor Jack, who looks like a naked Klingon from the back now with all the ridges.

I guess this is actually two bitches: One, why don't they freaking put an expiration date on things like bug spray?  And two, why was I such a moron that I didn't CHECK for expiration dates before summer hit?  Now we're all going to get malaria and sleeping-sickness and it will be ALL MY FAULT.

    I know the feeling. We are seeing record mosquitos here on Whidbey. As a matter of fact, we have a huge one we captured in a mayonnaise jar that I'm going to gild . . .
