Well, the title says it all.....
Me and my infinite wisdom hired a housekeeper to "help me out" since Shawn is gone so much these days (really, its because I hate to clean)...
Alyssa, my little animal lover, brought home a clear plastic cup with 2 meal worms from school last Thursday. These were given to all her classmates as well, as a science experiment over spring break ( AKA spring torture for the parents). For those of you who don't know, these worms go from pupae to larva to beetle in like 40 days. Fun for the kids to observe over the week, huh?
Fast forward to tonight, we are all getting ready for bed. I hear Alyssa in hysterics coming up the stairs....I really thought the hamster had become Tiger's (the 15lb rather large orange cat) dinner. Nope. Alyssa is holding her clear plastic cup with only a potato wedge in the bottom. All the oatmeal, all the worms. GONE!!!!!
What have I done? Here I am thinking the cleaning service will simplify my life....not working out so well. Yes, we did go look through the trash, but my ladies took the trash with them today.....
Luckily this is the day and age of computers. A quick online search tells me Petsmart carries them (for persons wishing to feed their non traditional type pets). A quick phone tells me our store has them.
Guess where we will be tomorrow??! Spending Daddy's money on worms......

40 days until you have beetles in your house?? Thank you, housekeepers! I thought you were going to say you went online to show her photos of the different life stages of those creepy crawlies.
