the ants go marching one by one...

so when you have a baby - do you let the ants that are invading your bathroom live - or do you spray the heck out of them? And then deal with the deadly bug spray fumes? or do you just keep crushing them one by one...? and I think I say "sorry" almost every time...

I often wondered before baby - whenever I would see a parent either casually blow the dust off a dropped toy or paci (experienced parent) - or run to thoroughly wash it off (new or first time parent) - what kind of parent would i be when it came to cleaning baby items.
So as the new parent i am, i second and third guess everything like that these days. is there residue on my baby's plates and spoons from the dishwasher? do the baby bottles have too much dishwashing detergent smell? did the dog lick her butt and then his foot/face/hand...? what is he touching now? is it "clean" and what are my acceptable levels of clean these days? If he drops something how extensively do i clean it... I've never been a "clean freak" but now that he has already had thrush... I wonder could I/we have prevented it by making sure every single thing he touches all day long was sanitized. and what about doorknobs in public or at work...? or the keyboards of other peeps I have to handle all day long at work... oh! If we get sick ONE MORE time anytime soon... it's enough to make your head spin... (or stuffy)
