MILP Study Break

Posted on December 13, 2008
Take 5 minutes from exams to dance with your kid. And for those of you without kids, this is the kind of song that you will find yourself humming in the middle of your workday once you do. LOL!

Single Parent Dating Sucks

Posted on December 12, 2008
Ms. Single Mama needs a hug. She met an amazing guy, fell head over heels and then he violated one of her dealbreakers that might have affected her child’s wellbeing and he’s outta there. Sometimes being an adult just sucks!!! But good for her for sticking to her guns and [...

Teeny Weenies

Posted on December 12, 2008
I’ve said it before and I will say it again. My life is an open book. If I truly cared what people thought, I wouldn’t blog the way that I do. Today I found out that there are some pretty awesome, supportive people in my section and some pretty nasty, hateful, super-competitive [...

Torted… thwarted?

Posted on December 11, 2008
Exam is over. Woot! And I think I did fairly well. But of course i hesitate to say that because the rest of my classmates are MENSA-level geniuses who craft highly complex legal arguments for every essay question while I just regurgitate a bunch of crap...

WWYD - Immigration attorney malpractice?!?

Posted on December 11, 2008
I am so pissed. Chapin went to see his immigration attorney tonight. You know, the one who took $5,000 of our money as a retainer and ended up filing a four-page “brief” in appeal of his citizenship denial. The last bill we got said that we had roughly $900 left in our [...

Graceful

Posted on December 11, 2008
So in case I needed proof that I’m losing my mind, I got it this morning in the shower. I’m standing there doing my thing, which of course includes responding to a variety of questions from Pumpknhead and talking to my mother who insists on coming in and using the bathroom while I am [...

No time for this

Posted on December 11, 2008
Well before Chapin called and I got all fired up about the attorney, I was in a fairly good mood. I had just arrived home (late, of course, because since I took yesterday off of work for my final I came back to a bazillion tasks today) and had opened the mail...

Weekly MILP Roundup #75

Posted on December 06, 2008
This week’s roundup is up at One New Duck. The Weekly MILP (Moms in the Legal Profession) Roundup is the brainchild of Saramel (retired). It is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom, A New Duck and A Little Fish in Law School blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning...

Hunkering Down

Posted on December 05, 2008
I’ve got my weekend-’o'-study supplies and I am all set. From left to right: Two Satsuma mandarins for me. Two mangos to bribe Chapin to take Pumpkinhead for more than two hours on Sunday. A Nintendo rental from Blockbuster for Pumpkinhead...

Snugglebug

Posted on December 04, 2008
My kid is so freaking adorable. I love, love, love him. He was pulling his pants up after using the bathroom and going to wash his hands. He’d left the pants down a bit and I said, “Baby, I can see part of your bum.” He looked over at [...

Feeling better

Posted on December 04, 2008
I am finally starting to feel better, thank goodness. If you couldn’t tell from the onslaught of blog posts tonight, I’m actually getting some energy back! And that’s surprising because I have started my new meds (Zonisamide) and the bottle says it will make me sleepy...

ABA Top 100 Blawgs

Posted on December 03, 2008
Last year I had the honor of having my blog selected as one of the ABA Journal’s Top 100 blogs. This year, there are a variety of new blogs out there on the list. Unfortunately, as usual, many of my favorites are in the same category so it makes it hard to pick [...

Ashamed

Posted on December 02, 2008
Woe. Woah. Waaah! Just turned in my paper. Been “working” on it for a while now. It was 9 pages… including the cover. It totally sucked. I am so ashamed of myself. Turned it in late, too. I had an INSANE day at work (of course)...

My White nephew

Posted on December 01, 2008
Okay, all you parents of biracial children, here’s a stumper for you. Birth certificates. How do you list your child’s ethnicity? I never thought about it and just put Caucasian for Pumpkinhead. But my brother, who has a much more visibly biracial child, apparently put Caucasian as well...

Gaming for the Cure

Posted on December 01, 2008
My mother sent me out to hunt down a Nintendo DS for my nephew on Black Friday. I finally realized everyone was pretty much selling it for the same price ($129) and just ponied up her money for it. Then today I found out that Amazon is selling a limited edition Pink Ribbon [...

Holiday Crafts

Posted on December 01, 2008
My mother and her best artsy friend are in the house making memory rings right now. Basically they have a large gold ring that you tie ribbons to and you decorate the ribbons with beads, medallions, etc., then tie single-hole-punched index cards or photos to the end of the ribbon...

Drugged

Posted on December 01, 2008
I am home sick today with a nasty cold/sinus infection. Went to the neurologist as planned, however, and left with more meds and another scheduled EMG. The Cymbalta has stopped working and I’ve been having a lot of pain and numbness/tingling in my ring and pinky fingers on both sides and in my [...

Unproductive

PT-LawMom after an evening spent staring at research materials that just are not inspiring me to act. Only 19.5 hours until my paper is due. One box of tissues down, another one at the ready. Honeybush tea at my side. more animals

Progress

more animals Met Chapin at the cell phone store at 10:45 a.m. We were attended to immediately. An hour-and-a-half later, after he had made 10 calls to different corporate reps, I finally told the salesperson I was leaving. Chapin called at 1:09 p.m...

Purity

Posted on November 30, 2008
DivorceCare this morning was all about how we can regain our “purity” and set boundaries with our prospective mates to please God. The video actually said something along the lines of “God thinks wild and fulfilling sex is awesome… when it is inside the marriage covenant...

When Even Bad is Good

Posted on November 30, 2008
Blue Eyes came over around 12:30 a.m. Brought awesome pictures he had taken of various members of my family at a gorgeous downtown location yesterday. Hooray for Christmas card pictures! My Mom was soooooo excited this morning when I showed her. Anyway, both Blue Eyes and I have colds and he [...

Drama

Posted on November 29, 2008
Today was a rough day for Pumpkinhead. I think that a week of no school, new medication (Concerta now) and his cousin and uncle coming in have really thrown him for a loop. His behavior today was horrid. Lots of tantrums, tears and melodrama. My parents took him to buy a [...
