Red answers the phone and says:
No I’m not selling cookies.
No I don’t have a Troop.
No I haven’t had one all year.
Her father of coarse! Why would he know this tidbit about her life? That would require communication that meant something. That would require him having an interest in “her” life!
When she hung up, she said he [...]

Sunday about 20 minutes after the kids got home from their dads, my phone rang. It was him. He was calling to say that he doesn’t know what to do with the kids, especially Hively. Really that is funny, what could the problem be?
It seems that my children are not happy there and that Hively [...]

I’ve had a pretty crappy week. Sure, my choice was elected president and aside from the fall out of the American economy I am employed but still, my week was less than successful! I read this post http://afatbridesmaid.blogspot.com/2008/11/baby-therapy.html over at one of my favorite blogs http://afatbridesmaid.blogspot.com. In which she speaks of life’s woes and how [...]

Hively came home with some baseball cards a buddy gave him, among them was a John McCain card. He made up a song to sing while he danced it around. It goes to the tune of Hail To The Chief:
You won’t be in the White House in January.
You aren’t going to win this [...]

I am not a Dooce fanatic as MANY are! But I do enjoy her wit and check in on her weekly
(as opposed to daily where I go here: http://abrightfuture.wordpress.com/, here: http://mssinglemama.com/, and here: http://afatbridesmaid.blogspot.com/, and even here: http://mandysthirtysomethingblog.blogspot.com/)
to see if I can get a good chuckle. So it had to be divine intervention that I [...]

After that last convo with the ex, I had to prepare my kids. I knew from past experiences that when I make any mention of things said to me, the result is, the next visit involves an interrogation. A very unfortunate incident involving this situation occured a few years back and I have remained mum [...]

CONCLUSION:
I need to wrap this up as the first visit since this ordeal commences tonight at 6pm! UGH! You all need to pray for my babies as they are gone over the next 48 hours. And for me, the mama sitting at home and trying to function through my fear for them.
AHH – Justice [...]

He was calling to tell me that the hospital staff is saying they will be keeping my son for at least 48 hours. Great! I didn’t pack for 48 hours. Why so long? But still he insists all is really fine and they are just over reacting.
I am fine to buy this and convince [...]

This ordeal was exhausting to live and is just as horrible to document so it is parts…
PART 1
It all began a week ago Friday (9/13/08). Well, actually Thursday night. Hively came home with a tad bit of a sniffle. On Friday we woke and shoved off to begin the day. The kiddos went to school [...]

I am usually as happy as the next parent to see September arrive and see the school year begin. This year is very different though. We had so much fun this summer. We took a week long vacation, just the three of us for a full week. This is the first time they have been [...]
