Sewer Gnats and We Have a Winner !!!

Today we got to deal with a really gross problem. We have two bathrooms in our RV and the each time the kids flush the toilet in their bathroom during the past few days, gnats would come flying up outta it. Needless to say, we decided to try a home remedy last night to get rid them using an apple cider vinegar trap. That didn't work well. So, today after I got our laundry caught up, we went to an RV parts store and got much stronger RV toilet cleaner then we normally use. We normally use a more natural cleaner, but that just wasn't cutting it anymore. The RV store guys told us that sewer gnats are a common problem here and pointed us to the right products. They are poisonous and super strong. So, we flushed the sewage outlets out super well and then we put the strong chemicals in. It works like a charm and no more gnats coming outta the toilet. I am so glad because I that was a nasty problem to have. My hubby and I were enjoying a nice relaxing glass of wine last night and a nasty gnat flew into his drink. I was like, "We are gonna have to do something about this. This is really gross!". So, we had never had this problem before here, so we were clue less that something like that can happen, but they can breed inside your RV's black tank, and mainly in warm or hot climates.
On a more pleasant note, lol, we went to dinner at Oggi's and they were having a raffle for prizes and we were given 4 tickets as we came into the door. They called my son's number and he won 2 free movie passes and a radio station t-shirt. They congratulated him in front of the restaurant by name and said, "Looks like we have a mini winner!". He was so excited.
Tomorrow, we are going to do something really special and drive 30 min. to San Bernardino and Rancho Cucamonga to walk the outside mall, have lunch at Boston Market, and walk around Bass Pro for the hubby. It has been a long time since I have shopped at a mall for anything. I used to love shopping for fun when I was working full time. It was like stress relief for me, but now, unless my family is all with me, I don't like it. My favorite times are with my family. I suppose another reason I hate clothes shopping is that 1/2 the shit I try on doesn't fit. That is a major self esteem blower. So, good night guys. Thanks for visiting my blog! I will update you on how our trip goes tomorrow when I return.
