I'm sorry. I have lost the ability to feel any emotions other than HOT.

J is drinking lime juice straight from the container in the fridge. S sucks on lemon and lime wedges. Thank goodness. She refuses veggies and I have to fight off scurvy somehow.

I was just looking and it's supposed to be better tomorrow, and 45 degrees F tomorrow night! Considering the low is 69 degrees tonight, I'm thrilled.

Today is supposed to be the last hot day here. It was 90°. I hate driving less than a mile to R when it's so easy to walk. C'mon cooler weather!

I just had to take an extra pair of shorts and underwear because J had two accidents in a row at preschool and peed through his extra clothes it took me like 15 minutes to get there from when she called so I felt bad because he was probably stuck at the bathroom all that time cuz he had no pants. He's only ever had one accident there so far so I'm not sure what's going on that he had two in a row today. He was acting really off yesterday and this morning though like super whiny and temper tantrum-y which is not normal for him. He threw like four tantrums yesterday and I don't think he's ever actually thrown one before and I was shocked and didn't know what to do. I hope he's just getting sick or going through a growth spurt. ETA: I just wanted to clarify that I'm not saying I have a perfectly behaved child, he's just not a tantrum-er. Or, he wasn't until maybe now :/

My fridge is so stuffed that the door didn't close tight. A container of mac and cheese popped out and spilled all over the floor. My gluten-free, Dairy intolerant bulldog ate the whole container while we were out.

I bought two new workout shirts from Target and when they came in the mail I went to pull the size tag off of them and half of the adhesive stayed on the shirt and now I can't get it off. I'm beyond annoyed because there's no target nearby for me to go try to exchange them and for all I know I'm going to have the same issue. Any ideas on how to get adhesive residue off of a workout shirt? ETA: I want to avoid calling their customer service because both times I've done that have been a waste of breath. Like talking to a brick wall, both times, for upwards of 20 min. They're the worst.

milano I would just turn and say damaged. I feel it's unlikely the second set would be stuck like that.

My husband took L to the grocery store and bank so I have about 40 minutes to myself. I'm watching Pretty Little Liars and drinking a la croix. I also just ate half a donut and dinner is in 20 minutes... oops.

I should get wine.

like I pretty much said to "Richard" that I don't want faster internet or anything new - I just want to save some money. He is "happy to work on that" so far.

FYI, I once tried to lower my cable package with the online chat and they told me they were not allowed to downsize. They were sales only and I had to call to go down to basic. So, if you don't get good results in chat, you might want to follow up with a phone call.

When I was moving the bakery they were aggressively trying to get me to sign up. The cheapest package they had was $80/month and they kept telling me that it was so great because it came with TV. WTF? Why does a bakery need TV? I told them that I had instead signed up with a wireless company for $25/month and the woman was all, "Oh. We can't compete with that. I'll take you off our list." I liked that woman.

Guys. grumpycakes. Remember my awesome goat wallpaper? Well. My cousin is visiting and took the kids for a walk, so I decided to just do it myself today. I cleaned my space and prepped everything and... epically failed. I think the glue didn't activate, probably due to the wallpaper waiting around for almost a year. I am so bummed. A huge waste of money, layered with disappointment. I took the two sheets I tried to hang and lay them in the basement to dry (they just wouldn't stick to the wall, no matter what I did). I'm sure I'll find something funny to do with the paper, but it won't be wallpaper. I am legit crying. Pregnant ladies shouldn't be allowed to do anything.

Because a few giant companies control most of the market, and it's much more opaque than back in Roosevelt's trust-busting heyday.

They negotiate zones instead of compete for more customers. One town over from us has a different provider with just as much no choice as us.
