Ugh. So many things have gone wrong with the bakery move. All have been addressed except for the exhaust hood. It looks like that will be addressed next week (two weeks late). And now my landlord's project manager is coming after me for more money. She said that this is more work than they quoted for. Bull effing shit. She had no idea what she was doing and is now asking me to pay for her ineptitude. If I end up having no recourse (since I'm obviously not moving right now), I've got a back up plan on how to pay for this, but I'm fighting it for now because this is absurd. But it sooooo isn't what I need right now.
dancingsphinx22, that is terrifying and I'd move immediately.
Funny thing, this is the house we just moved to!
The first time I saw a scorpion at the new house, I told DH to cancel the move.
I was at the new house all alone, unpacking boxes, and I kept hearing this soft scratching noise - like a plastic bag crinkling in a light breeze.
I thought there was a mouse in the wall, until I noticed the sound was coming from a box. I thought maybe a cricket got in the box and was try to find a way out.
I went to pick up the box, and OMFG THERE'S A MASSIVE FCKING SCORPION UNDERNEATH
I nearly had a heart attack.
The next day, DH and I walked in to find ANOTHER scorpion crawling in the middle of the kitchen floor, like he owned the place. The little bastard.
Scorpion #1 and #2
No f***ing way!!! I just cringed at those pictures. I couldn't deal!
I went to a crafty wine party event tonight. It took me 30 minutes to make my flower pot and then I just ate snacks and drank wine the last 1.5 hours. It was so fun...until coming home to a house of 2 screaming babies. They used to let DH do everything with no problems and all of a sudden only want me. I hope this is a short phase. I'm so tired.

Aaahh. It's 8:30am and we are already on the first temper tantrum of the day.
R wanted some raisins after breakfast. We have a rule that raisins go in a bowl and there is absolutely no playing with them. This is because our dog will eat anything as soon as it hits the floor and they are toxic to dogs. He kept trying to play with them. I warned him twice to stop or he'd lose them. He kept at it. So I took them away. Cue screaming tantrum. Sorry kid. You know the rules, I warned you. Consequences.

I think we did this at 630 when M wanted a brownie for breakfast.

Oh children.
R asked for "kuchen" for dinner the other night. He thought if he asked in German I'd give in. It's cake. No.

Well... *puts on nerd glasses*
There's many species of scorpions in Arizona. The Bark Scorpion is one of the most venomous in North America, is very common in Arizona, and happens to be the type of scorpion we have in our house.
Fml...
Their sting causes immense pain, swelling, numbness, paralysis of area/limb stung, shortness of breath and, in rare cases, unconsciousness and death (if you're allergic.)
They can be fatal to babies, small children, and small pets.
The good news is that death by Scorpion in the US is rare. Bites do happen, but they can mostly be treated at home.
The pediatrician said that if my baby gets stung, I'm supposed to call poison control, and they will direct me on what to do. Fuck that. I'm going straight to the hospital.
Most people just get cats or chickens to keep the scorpion population down in their yard and house, and have pest control come out for routine spraying.
Native Arizonians are pretty nonchalant about this whole "weaponized hell demon with pinchers and stinger" situation.
