the sexting, which seems to be a Done Thing among kids these days

And Congressmen ....

former tenant was Section 8 and went to jail.

Oh, should I have mentioned that? I assume R told you though (that's who told me). I didn't know about the crack stuff though.

L9 peeps

I need to get out there- it's been so long. I have a check from my mom from April! (I have been out since then, but I forgot the check the time I did go out.)

This week is going by so slowly! Tom has a lunch with a potential career changer today, so good vibes would be appreciated.

I have 3 little girls mad at me. I won't let them play with the bikes and scooters as punishment for sneaking into my purse while I was in the bathroom and stealing the suckers that they were told they couldn't have until after lunch and then ran down into the basement to eat in hiding.

Live and learn, little girls. Live and learn.

How is that fucking possible?!

I've only mopped 2.5 rooms, and have 2 more plus the bathroom and wee hall. Goal for today is finish 2nd br and empty 1st br so I can start that one. Which won't take long, since there's just an air mattress and a suitcase in there.

Nora, NBD to me. K recognized the crack pipe burns. Don't suppose there's a way to cover those... I'll talk to R about maybe replacing it. Sometimes you can find surrounds at Habitat ReStores.

I'm continually surprised at how long the learning takes. My girl is finally able to anticipate negative consequences some of the time, but my son? Just not there yet.

Serial: the breeze on my porch is magic, for realz.

Yay! Wish I was there hanging out and not here at stupid work. Harumph. t kicks work

smonster - would bleach work? no idea how bad the burn marks are, but I've used the Clorox bleach pen on places where my hair stuff stains my shower/tub.

Especially when two of the kids aren't yours and don't inherently know your house rules. For instance, the two girls I'm watching don't have to clean their rooms on a regular basis so when I start asking them to clean up at the end of the day, they look at me like I have two heads.

Plus, I'm also learning to deal with the conniving which I assume one gets used to when you have more than one kid. Em is a total failure at conniving - she usually employs the oft tried method of hiding things behind her back and looking exceptionally guilty, while edging along the wall with her back to it. Dead giveaway, every time. With three of them, it's harder to tell when something's going down.

Toddson, I hate bleach so I didn't want to buy a gallon of it just to try this, but the bleach pen is a great idea. I need it for a stained shirt, anyway.
