School

Posted in ShitFuckShit, future plans, more happy pills please, school, work or lack thereof on 06.25.2009 | 2 Comments »

School is, likely, a no-go. I learned yesterday that the government dweebs that receive and review the applications for funding are so far behind that it is unlikely that my application will not be reviewed/approved in time for starting school in September. If it weren’t for the numbing affects of Zoloft, I’m sure I would [...]

For the record, I’ve seen the show less than a handful of times. I do not have cable, but caught the show a couple of times at my mum’s, a friend’s and on a flight. I have little interest in the drama of other people’s lives. There is enough in my own. But there was [...]

Three Little Words – Part I

Posted in The Former Mister, The Mook, divorce, lesson learned, more happy pills please on 06.20.2009 | 4 Comments »

Last week The Former Mr asked to borrow money. This week he admitted he was wrong. Wrong to ask for money. Wrong for not recognizing and reacting to the issues I had in our marriage. There’s a lot to be said about our relationship. I remember trying to convince him, in the later days of [...]

The Former Mister…not funny

Posted in The Former Mister, divorce, lesson learned, work or lack thereof on 06.11.2009 | 4 Comments »

The Former Mister called this morning. He asked to borrow money to pay his rent. He asked to borrow money. The man who already owes me $7000. Asked to borrow money from me. Who is scrimping and saving her pennies because the unemployment insurance she filed for in MARCH hasn’t come thru yet. It’s laughable, [...]

The other day, we spent the morning chilling out, just The Mook and me. She crawled into bed with me this morning and I feigned sleep. When I finally rolled over to see what the hell she was going, I found that she had made a little nest out of the duvet and it was [...]

Questions We Should All Ask Mom

Posted in family matters, much love on 06.07.2009 | Leave a Comment »

I found this list of questions on the blog Motherlode and promptly sent them off to my mum to respond to.  She sent me her responses today: What’s the one thing you would have done differently as a mom? I wish that I had helped and taught them how to clean their rooms. Why did [...]
