So I finally did it about two weeks ago. I filed for full custody of my three wee ones not because I am a horrible parent and don't want Captain Responsible to see them, but because I am not sure what state of mind she is in and I want to protect them. The school told me that if I do not have full custody there is nothing they can do to stop her from coming and taking the kids. They suggest once I get full custody to submit a copy of the paperwork to them to put in their school file in case ther… Continue

I am feeling very good tonight. I went and had my first massage in many years and I feel great, don't have a care in the world.

So it was September of last year, my sister suggested that I enroll Tootzee, my 3 year old, in ballet because she was the only kid that didn't have any activities that were her own. I told her that I didn't think a 3 year old cared, but I was talked into it because I am a sucker. I agreed to pay the $30 a month but my sister had to take her because I couldn't get off work. They religously went to ballet lessons every Monday for 30 minutes. I slide out the back door of my office and watched her a… Continue
