Pity party, table of 1

I'm glad I went to bed at 9pm last night. Abby woke up at 4 am because of lightening and insisted on coming back to bed with us, which is very rare. I don't sleep well with a sweaty 4 year old next to me. Emily wanted her diaper changed at 5:30. She's pee potty trained during the day but holding her poop until she has a diaper on at night. Up for the day at 8.

This morning, I smell the burning smell coming from the outlet I use to boil water in an electric tea kettle for coffee. And the outlet feels hot :( I'm not enthusiastic about paying an electrician. I did some googling and discovered a place where it says burning insulation can have a "misleading" dead animal smell which I've smelled in Abby's room. I thought it was because we had the trash cans in the garage (HOA rules) under her room but we moved them outside behind our side fence. Either there's something really effed up with this house or we have ghosts. Or I'm losing myfuckingmind.

DH went out last night after work to "blow off some steam" with his coworkers even though he gets to spend all week at an out of town conference with them.

And there's no goddamn sugar for my coffee because I haven't been to the store in weeks. Crying

    I'm sorry, Taytee.  :(  I'd totally run sugar to your house if I still lived in town.  In fact, I'd run extra sugar so you could have extra cups of coffee.  And I'd bring doughnuts, too.  I hope things get better soon and that you figure out what's going on with that outlet!  Eek.

    I've done this and it really does make a nice change.

    That all really sucks. The outlet thing would really be freaking me out.

    I have lots of coffee, sugar, and flavored creamer available just down the street if you need anymore :)

    Did you seriously drink all the latte syrup already??!? 

     You should ask Emily to talk to the ghosts. Maybe they'll stop making your house smell funny. 

    PS: I'm sorry about the outlet stuff. That's scary.

    Sounds like a pretty sucky night and morning. And I would be skeeved by the burning smell too. Can you call the fire department again and will they check to see if there is insulation burning?
