Oh let us rise Above the bones Let us remember the memories Filled with compassion Not scarred by hunger No not blinded by the ashes of the past My eyes have not seen it yet it in my soul I know No conception is hidden Let there be love I wanna go home Take me [...]

This is The Former Mister’s response to my e-mailed inquiry as to whether we (me, him and The Mook) should get together on Christmas morning to open her gifts from Santa. ——- We may want to talk about these times with the three of us.  I’m not finding it to be a healthy relationship.  We are seperated.  [...]

I’ve been an ostrich. When I lost my job in early February, I knew that I had three months before I would lose the daycare subsidy that pays for 75% of the cost of The Mook’s daycare. I figured that I would be working again in three months. When that 3-month period ended, I figured [...]
