Court was… interesting, but not in the way that you might think. As you know I posted on Monday night that I had JUST found out that I had a court date on Thursday morning to extend my Order of Protection. I was freaking out because this blog was born out of an attack that
The Girl Child had curriculum night at her school a few nights ago. Because they didn’t want a bunch of kids interrupting the teachers and parents, the school had a drop-off classroom where kids could stay and watch a movie; both of my kids were excited to go. There were two sessions that night and
My water heater broke. Not nice water heater, not nice. Now I know what some of you might be thinking (those of you who have never had the unfortunate experience of having a water heater go out on you), “oh well good thing it’s summer and super warm outside, it would suck if that happened
So as I’ve said roughly 8.7 million times before, I live on the edge of nowhere. In fact even my neighborhood seems to be becoming part of the field these days, seeing as how every spring we become engulfed in corn husks that blow off the fields from last years harvest. Excuse the poor quality,
A couple weeks ago I was lying on the couch, a glass of wine in hand, and I was watching the movie “The Lincoln Lawyer.” There’s a scene in that movie where the main character — the lawyer — is in his car when his client pays him using a large envelope of cash. I
It was four years into our marriage, our daughter had just been born, and we were broke. My ex (husband still at the time), unbeknownst to me was not only blowing all our money on drugs, but he was also stealing money from the family business that he worked for and was blowing through that
Last month as my Platonic Hubby and I were trying to figure out something to do for my birthday, the conversation took a turn that looked like this: I’m the orange-ish bubble So Saturday night my Platonic Husband, two other friends, and I, spent the night in the city. There was a lot of planning
A few nights ago after I suffered a minor facial injury that I will take to the grave that I don’t want to talk about, The Platonic Husband and I made plans to watch the comedy “The Sex Tape.” I’m the ugly peach color. For some reason it wouldn’t let me crop the pics so
**I’m going to pop in here real fast and say that by the time this hits most of your inbox’s, The Boy Child will be in surgery. I’ll try and update on Facebook, thanks for all your messages. I’ve been reading them to him and he thinks it’s very funny that he is getting his
I went grocery shopping today. As I stood in line waiting to checkout, I looked over my items and I felt pretty confident in my purchases. I say “confident” because that’s exactly the opposite of how I feel most of the time in the grocery store, but today, today I felt good. I had
Hey all, so it’s Mother’s Day over here in the US, and as many of you probably remember, I typically hate Mother’s Day. VERY MUCH DISLIKE. But, I’ve made a little bit of progress. Last year not only was I pissed that I am a single mother, but I was also pissed that I didn’t have
Last Monday I was driving to work and surprise, surprise, there was construction on the two lane road that I needed to be on. The entire road was down to one lane in some spots, meaning that everyone on one side of the road would have to stop and wait while the cars on the
My husband said he was going to the store... and never came back. It's been a crazy life that's left me functional enough to survive yet dysfunctional enough to make me funny. I'm living my life devoid of most social graces while single parenting two young children and I absolutely love it....most days.
