Thanks

Posted on November 16, 2008
I can’t begin to tell you how much everyone’s support has meant the past few days. Thank you all! As recently as last night, I just could not move for all the anxiety. I’m doing a bit better today and I know it has to do with all of the positive energy [...

Polished

Posted on November 16, 2008
Taking the Buspar first thing this morning really helped. I made it to DivorceCare and recounted my week with only a few tears. The group prayed over me, encouraged me and I left feeling more empowered. Pumpkinhead and I went to the mall where I picked up the basics - foundation and powder, while [...

Served Cold

Posted on November 16, 2008
When Chapin came over last night to pick up Pumpkinhead and told me he refused to leave the truck, I got sick yet again. And I realized I have to do something. He said that I should just pay it because he doesn’t care about his credit. He plans to go back [...

Sunday

Posted on November 16, 2008
I know I need to do the Roundup today. I will get to it sometime this afternoon. Blue Eyes lost a patient yesterday. That’s only the second time in three months and he was really upset. He cleaned the patient and the room but had to be present while the family came in to [...

Barely breathing, but not dead

Posted on November 15, 2008
I told Chapin to bring me the truck and leave it here so I can sell it. We owe $29k and it is worth about $24k. The credit union said that he can pay the balance off over time but, regardless of the court order, we are both on the hook until it [.....

Seriously?!?! Part Two

Posted on November 14, 2008
There’s glass in my ass. And I didn’t put it there. No, the guy that smashed my car window and stole my work laptop, purse and the one piece of inheritance my grandmother left specifically for me in her will. I’m [...]

Done

Posted on November 14, 2008
My brother called at like 2 p.m. and said, “Did you hear about your nephew?” My heart sank, “What?” He said, “He is in the ER with a collapsed lung.” THAT IS IT, WORLD. I take the message. I am done. Finito. Over...

Losing my shit

Posted on November 14, 2008
I am seriously about to lose it. The law school wants $2,300 TODAY. The insurance company wants a $500 deductible. Fuck. I have a meeting this afternoon and, either today or Monday, a Come to Jesus with the Safety Department on what the hell I was doing leaving my laptop bag [...

Big Ass Truck, Anyone?

Posted on November 13, 2008
Chapin called this morning to tell me that, with higher single person taxes and child support coming out of his check, he will not be able to make the payment on the Tundra. Never mind that he is living on his truck and not paying rent. MotherFlower!!! [...

Help Needy Children

Posted on November 12, 2008
Earlier this year, Matt Logelin lost his beautiful young wife to a pulmonary embolism mere hours after she gave birth to their adorable first child, Madeline. Matt has bravely shared his struggle with the world during these first few months of fatherhood and has received a huge outpouring of love and support from the [...

Bleech

Posted on November 12, 2008
Drinking wine, reading lots of material on asset forfeiture for my paper and trying not to feel bummed. Blue Eyes was supposed to sleep over tonight but he has a wicked toothache so he’s staying home with an ice pack and lots of Advil. I think we need to institute [...

Parched

Posted on November 11, 2008
Well I finally picked a paper topic for anti-corruption, ordered study CDs for my exam-based class (several months after I’d promised my study partners I would) and printed out a bunch of research material. I think I’ve used up my motivation for the month...

Rainy Day

Posted on November 11, 2008
I hit a wall today. Last week while I was out of town for work, Pumpkinhead kept having tearful meltdowns at school and his teacher called my mother TWICE to suggest that we “adjust his meds”. Um, those would be the same meds he had just started a few days before...

WTF

Posted on November 11, 2008
Okay, my blog is freaking out. I wrote this long post yesterday and now it is gone. Yesterday all my posts from Sunday were gone. Damn server!

T-Shirts

Posted on November 10, 2008
Since I have been practically living in my cozy heather jersey Garden of Awesome t-shirt from Matt Logelin’s Spreadshirt shop, I decided to make some comfy MILP, single parent and future law school mom t-shirts for all of you. So get yourself on over to my shop to buy yourself a tee...

Sunday Stealing: The Nudder Meme 1. Who did you spend at least two hours with today? Ana, Wine-Time Girl and Blonde Counsel 2. What do you look forward to most in the next six weeks? Seeing my nephew at Thanksgiving and getting through finals without losing my mind...

Whirlwind

Posted on November 07, 2008
Spent the past few days away for work, crazy busy with both the meetings I was there to attend and a ton of stuff for my office back here. I raced around all day, every day and now I am completely exhausted! Spent election night at a table of rowdy-but-fun men eating a [...

Si Se Puede

Posted on November 05, 2008
Well it’s not a woman, but it is hope. I can’t wait to see what the country does with this momentum. “If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible, who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time, who [...

Worried

Damn you, California. It is 3:45 a.m. and still too close to call? Ack! Now I can’t go back to sleep.

Truth or Dare

Posted on November 04, 2008
(in)Sanity Gal tagged me in a game of Truth or Dare over at Virgin in the Volcano, where everyone is bored of law school. I am tagging Legally Certifiable. Bring it on, Quirky Girl! When she sends me my Truth challenge, I’ll post it and the answer here...

Sunday Stealing Meme

Posted on November 02, 2008
Because memes are fun, I stole this from Judd’s blog, Sunday Stealing. What are your nicknames? I could tell you but then I’d be busted. My everyday name is actually a nickname. I was called some nasty names in school, mostly weight-related...

Pumpkinhead - ADD Update

Posted on November 02, 2008
I blogged last week about how I met with Pumpkinhead’s teacher, principal and counselor and they basically got me over a barrel regarding his “behavior issues.” They said that they will not advance him into gifted/talented or pull him into second grade for reading unless we medicate him...

Heading Out and a Meme

Posted on November 02, 2008
Have to leave after class tomorrow for a few days away for work. Looks to be an insanely busy week! It’s almost 10 and I have yet to pack. Procrastinating with a little meme. Pumpkinhead and I had a blast trunk-or-treating on Friday night at the church where we [...
