My family thinks me evil, but I just feel done. Zipcar is fun, and it’s useful, and it’s served us very well. But yesterday, I had to set my alarm for 8 a.m. and call a cab to take me to the car that zipcar switched my reservation to. It cost $10 to get there, [...]

I spoke with the other mom. I was clear about my goals - I was careful not to spew accusations.
J sort of changed the landscape, because at school today - she got up the guts to say “I don’t want to be your BFF anymore.”

I was excited all day about bringing Beloved to see the apartment. All day long.
At approximately 2:30, I received a call on my cell phone from the mortgage broker I had spoken with previously, “following up.” It went like this:
