Would You Like To Be My Neighbor...
So blown.. waited all day to see if the $110 package I ordered that mistakenly got taken to a neighbors house is there…
I didn’t even know that anyone lived there until like a month ago!
These fools are NEVER HOME.
But they were home long enough to get the package tho 0_o
Odd..very odd..
Edit: My insanely awesome landlord got the package from me.. AND provided me with all of our neighbors home, and cell numbers, as well as their email(s) lol.
A little creepy, mixed with a little Leave It To Beaverness.. which if you saw the houses, families, and cars, you would think that’s where I lived..
I don't own my child's body →

(CNN) — My daughter occasionally goes on a hugging and kissing strike.
She’s 4. Her parents could get a hug or a kiss, but many people who know her cannot, at least right now. And I won’t make her.
“I would like you to hug Grandma, but I won’t make you do it,” I told her recently.
“I don’t have to?” she asked, cuddling up to me at bedtime, confirming the facts to be sure.
No, she doesn’t have to. And just to be clear, there is no passive-aggressive, conditional, manipulative nonsense behind my statement. I mean what I say. She doesn’t have to hug or kiss anyone just because I say so, not even me. I will not override my own child’s currently strong instincts to back off from touching someone who she chooses not to touch.
I figure her body is actually hers, not mine.
It doesn’t belong to her parents, preschool teacher, dance teacher or soccer coach. While she must treat people with respect, she doesn’t have to offer physical affection to please them. And the earlier she learns ownership of herself and responsibility for her body, the better for her.

ugh the worst feeling ever is when you have your period and you have to sneeze or you have been sitting down for a while and have to get up
