Bears or raccoon Wild teens? ;-) Omgwhat would wild teens do with a compost bin and a winky face 😟 I meant to convey that the teens was a joke. They are busy smashing mailboxes and don’t want any frozen compost.

The time of day I have to pick up the big kid from school reallllllly fucks with the baby’s nap time. Like I have to keep him up to get her, then he of course falls aslee in the car seat for like 5 minutes and then he’s impossible to get to nap after.
This is the source of why not drinking during the week is such torture.

I’m supposed to put both kids to bed on my own tonight and the baby is yelling at me so that’s something to look forward to. 😒😬 Audiobook? One time I took them for a fun car ride so the baby would fall asleep and only the toddler would need me lol It was summer though But he’ll “be TOO LONELY!” OMG we had a parent teacher conference today so we put on a show for him in the living room while we were in the office upstairs and that made him too lonely. Also, it was kind of a waste of time. They told me he loves trains and loves to draw. 😂

It’s tough to be outnumbered.

I am slowly working my way through the UO, because I don't have any work left to do, but I have an hour left on the clock. As per, I can't decide what, if anything, sounds good for dinner tonight. I made breakfast for dinner last night which was good. But ugghhhh, I am just so sick of this nausea. So sick of it. It makes it so hard to plan and cook dinner.

Omg. This will probably only be amusing to me. This is a transcription from a voicemail I got from my daughters school. But they transcribed her name as my sons name and her last name as the thing he refuses to do 😂 I maybe named them too similarly. Lol

Compost mystery solved. No wildlife involved or wild teens involved. Just annoying adults. They covered the compost bin with the trash bin so compost never got picked up. 😡

My electric company threatens shut-off if you are past due at all. I haven't tested how long they let you go, but it seems like it's not more than a month or two.

I went an embarrassing amount of months realizing I was being charged a late fee on my water bill monthly because they don't count the post marked date, they only counted the date they received it. And apparently mailing my water bill to my local town hall required the mail to process through St. Louis and back so it took days to get there.

I’m lounging on the couch. I’m pretty useless after 5 these days. I had a good day but my nausea has picked back up again this evening. Ugh.
DH is cleaning up after dinner and then we will watch something together. Early bedtime for me again.

S/O electric bill, apparently electric bill scams are all the rage in my city right now. We just got hit with one on Monday (but didn't fall for it). They called H at 10 AM and threatened that our power would turn off by 11 if we didn't pay the bill. But when he called back, it was all sorts of shady. I called the number I knew for the electric company, which was different than what they got, and the phone number associated with our accounts was MY phone number anyway, not his.
The scam involved having to get a pre paid credit card and then bring it in person to whatever place, and I was just like... never in my life have we ever had to jump through hoops to get this bill paid. Plus, we usually get our true up bill (for solar) in February, not mid Jan. It was so odd. And it made me sad thinking about the people that do fall for the scam.

No biller in the history of ever cares when the post mark is. What? Any bills I've had to mail say "post mark date". Such as, paying taxes it must be post marked date. My town hall had no way of paying online so we had to mail and there was no way to time the mail for due date since mailing to an address in your same city could take an unknown amount of days.

This is the source of why not drinking during the week is such torture. Oh god I'm having PTSD. Every single day this would happen except instead of falling asleep in the car the baby would scream and scream and scream the whole time. It was summer and hot so he would be soaked with sweat by the time we got home because he was so riled up.

No biller in the history of ever cares when the post mark is. What? This pains me, but when I worked for our city gov in HS, we went off post mark date. It's not uncommon. That said, and with all the understanding of financial trials, it's unwise to wait until that close of a distinction for a vital utility.

But I’ll have to put these rascals to bed first. At least the big one.
