Enough is enough!

This is getting crazy....today I went to the gas station at Safeway on the way to pick Julie up from school...now they have this new crazy rule at the pumps that you can only pump a max of $75 or $100 depending on what credit card you are using and if you want to pump more then you have to go inside....why they did this, I have no idea. Maybe to piss us moms off who don't want to take the effort to go inside because we have little ones in the car. So that made me a little mad...but the worst part is that as I was pumping my gas, the pump suddenly shuts off because I have reached their pump max and the bad thing is that my tank wasn't even full. Now it wasn't like I was using the super premium gas, just plain old regular....if things continue this way, nobody is going to be able to go anywhere....we need to find a solution and fast. At this rate, I don't know how much longer all my hard work of my business can survive. Pretty soon due to gas prices, my prices will have to be so high, no one will be able to afford it anymore. On the flip side when it is 106 outside and the air quality is the worst I have ever seen it(due to the hundreds of fires burning in California...in purple to be honest something like an AQI of 276(I didn't even know they had a purple) we have been staying inside, which makes for a crazy house with 2 stir crazy kids.

If nothing else, at least she is honest

So I got a big slap in the face today from my 4 yr old. We were sitting in the living room watching TV and a Nutrisystem commercial comes on tv. As my 4 yr old intensely watches she turns to me and says "Mom, why don't you get that..it can make you lose weight"..."you want to lose weight, right?" So I ask her why did she say that and she says to me because you are fat mommy and you need to lose weight so why don't you go and buy that.....
