Beloved is home. It’s great to have him back. I think him being gone was also a good transition into his independent study requirements - I had some time being reminded that I can handle things. More things. Even while busy at work. I can cook, take down the trash, clean up the house, do [...]

Last year, as the girls were out the door to their father’s house, I checked out “Your Ten to Fourteen Year Old” to find out what I was in for this year.
It told me that 11 year olds hate their mothers.
Shit.
Don’t I have enough hardships with E? Do I need her hating me as [...]

For almost 4 years now, I have been riding a wave of utter spoilation.
I have done what I needed to do in order to make it through school, through the bar exam, and through the early days of full-time lawyerdom while trusting that the rest of life would work out around me.
This was because of [...]

Yesterday felt insane. I crammed so much into the day, it wasn’t even HUMAN. Or … not even Zuska-like.
Today, not so much.
No basketball practice tonight; we actually have clean underwear (thanks to last night’s marathon), we had food in the house, and while I had to cook, I have delegated much of the cleaning duties [...]

Holy shit.Work is just - INSANE.I feel like if anyone who works in a big firm reads this, they will just laugh at me:Oh my god! I billed 67 hours this past week!Yeah, it felt like a lot. I’ve admitted to the fact that I’ve been spoiled up until now.Work and kids were hugely intertwined [...]

I am lonely. It is 9:53 p.m., and I don’t know what to do with myself. Where is my HUSBAND?
And seriously, this morning, when I was woken up by weird lightning and thunder in the midst of a snow storm, and woke up a little later to drag the kids out of bed so I [...]

It’s all I got today. Little whispers of what was going on in New Hampshire and in the Primary World at large. How depressing! I want to hear the shouting and the constant din. I don’t want to miss out!
Beloved told me that Bill made some crack about his wife that made him sound a [...]

There isn’t really loathing. Just fear.
Over what? You may ask.
Beloved is leaving me!!!
What is a [well, an ... incompetant spoiled brat of a] girl to do??? My husband - my support - my love [my cook] is going to a neighboring state for ELEVEN WHOLE DAYS!!! gasp!
He leaves this coming Saturday [...]

That is what time I called my husband to say “I’m coming home, now.”
Definitely a record.
My first LATE night.
I felt I owed it to the girls to explain that I wasn’t going to make it home, so I spoke with each of them on the phone. E said, “okay, bye” (really not caring.) J turned [...]

I’m such an idiot.
It was my stupid salary advance - the one they handed out in May to get us all through the bar exam, but that I used to go to Europe.
Paying it off is more than palatable since I have wonderful memories of the time Beloved and I spent in Paris and Amsterdam.
With [...]
