So I have learned that the houses in our neighborhood are very common culprits for extremely high levels of lead in the tap water. It doesn’t come in the water but it leaches into the water from the old, lead pipes that may or may not be hiding underground, poisoning my family, lowering my kids IQ and causing all kinds of other health problems. I found a number to call to get the water tested, but until then I have invested in a big ol’ Brita pitcher. Which I am not really happy about. Because our fridge? Is kind of on the small side. It has a nice big freezer but we all know where that space comes from. I was thinking that’s what the deep freeze was for, but what do I know? And with all those bags of milk in there I really don’t have room for a huge Brita pitcher. But I guess my kids IQs are worth the pain in the ass that this whole thing is.
