Well, today I got stung by a bee.For most people this wouldn't be a huge deal. Nothing they haven't been through before.
Well, I've never been stung before.
That's right.
Not once.
Till today.
I went into the backyard to close part of our gimpy makeshift fence that had been opened to mow the lawn. I figured if the kids were going to play out there I wanted them to be hedged in, and I had noticed it was open this morning.
So out I go barefoot and carrying Little Li. I get to the face and start to pull it shut when ...
OUCH! That hurt!
Did I step on a sticker? ....
WHAT IS THAT!!? It's moving!
HOLY CRAP IT'S A BEE!
What in heavens name was he doing in the grass? No wonder he stung me, I freaking stepping on the poor guy...
Well, though my stepping on him didn't kill him, him stinging me in the arch of my foot probably did him in.
Poor thing...
ouch! that's really starting to HURT. Ouch! OUCH!
Those things hurt worse than I thought they would!

I got stung for the first time last summer. I was out visiting with Pete & Nat. I was glad it got me and not Stacy she was only like 5-6 wks old at the time.
I've never been stung. Thank goodness. It does not sound fun!
So dude, you know how we were talking about "where are all the bees?" yesterday? There is totally an article about it in People Magazine this week! It says that, in the last 25 years, the bee population has declined by more than half! And that bees pollinate about 30 percent of the nation's food supply. Yikes! Bikes. They have four things they think might be causing the shortages - pesticides, parasites, a virus that weakens bees' immune systems, and air pollution, which destroys the fragrance of flowers, which impairs the bees' ability to follow scent trails. Sad.
This is why I love you lol...We are the rare few who actually feel BAD for the bee, even after it has stung us lol...
We had a SERIOUS bee problem in the outside storage room of our last apt. When Jason tried to move our stuff out of it, they came at him in the shape of a club, just like in the cartoons lol... it was the craziest thing I had ever seen! He panicked and jumped into the apt and shut the door, but not before one of them got caught in his sleeve and stung his hand. It was bad. He's a pretty tough guy, yet I could tell the sting site was really sore.
Sorry that happened! Hope your foot feels better soon! At least it didn't sting Li...
