Fireworks
Independence Day (July 4th) is next week. The fireworks have begun. The local safety page says not to call the police if the noise keeps you awake or frightens the cats. But oddly enough if the cats start shooting back the police will get involved. It’s going to be a loud week. Independence Day is…

The Soda Fairy
Our autistic son Ben doesn’t know where we hide the soda. This is a good thing because he’ll drink a whole 12 pack in a few hours if he gets the chance. Then I have to clean up the puke. So the soda is hidden. We’ve been telling him that the soda fairy brings him…

Middle Class
As I’ve written before a very long time ago a well meaning professor told the class I was in that a bachelors degree was a guaranteed position in the middle class for the rest of our lives. That to my ears was a tremendously crappy promise. Middle income earners in the US do most of…

He screamed for hours because he doesn’t understand our finances at all and doesn’t care why he can’t get what he wants. Stephanie ended up taking him to Urgent Care, and he…

It is almost one in the morning. My youngest son asked for DoorDash when he woke up this morning. That is not something we can do right now. He has gotten more angry and aggressive the more often we tell him no. He is mostly sedated now but not actually asleep. I have not taken…

More RxEnergy
Stephanie went to Walgreens for her prescription today because we don’t have health insurance right now and my old coworkers will go the extra mile to get her the best price on insulin. At my request she also picked up several bottles of RxEnergy (3 for $2). I love them but they are tremendously bad…

You Drive, I’ll Buy
I have a friend Tasha who I’ve known a long time and needed to go to the town south of us to pick up materials for her crafting. She invited me to keep her company on the journey. I asked Stephanie if it was okay for me to treat her to lunch and she pointed…
