Can't change object size?

I'm sure there is an easy fix to this that I'm just not seeing. I've been working in illustrator all day and I must have hit something or changed a setting by mistake becuase now I am not able to change the size of any of my symbols or obejcts other than the use the "scale" tool.

for example I am highlighting areas on a map right now and some of the block faces I just placed a transparent square. Normally I can rotate and stretch a object like that when I click on it. But now when I click on it I'm alowed to move it but not rotate it or stretch it. I feel like I've tried everything and it must be something so simple.

I tired shutting down Illustrator and reopening and opening different files the same problem remains.

Any help?

Also here 11 years later. Wow. Adobe. Why would you make this evil option available? Head-scratching for an hour.
