Last night I told Stewart I wished our house would just burn down. There’s a fire raging close by, nobody would notice.
It’s the kitchen weevils. It’s hot, my knee is failing, I have too much to do already, the kids are not behaving, the air quality is bad, and now we are doing a major cleanout of the kitchen. Yes, universe, I GET IT. You win.


Oh Kim, sorry this is getting you down. What are kitchen weevils? One year we had mice in our kitchen, moths ate my husband’s wool lawyer suits, we were having marriage issues, and it seemed like NOTHING was going right.

I don’t know what weevils are but surely there must be a way to get rid of them without having to burn the house down? Very scary those fires… I do hope they stay away from you!
Jomama, I did indeed take a nap, and it helped immensely! You’ve got the right idea!
Hang in there Kimmy. My one piece of advice from the woman with bad knees since 12 – invest in a VERY good pair of tennis shoes with good arch support. They can make a world of difference. Knees AND back.
Hang in there. I get it too.
