This morning I had the "pleasure" of sitting in the therapist's office with the ex to discuss the adhd son. Even though I had to withdraw the motion to change visitation, I still love this therapist. She is about 5 foot nothing and has no problem looking directly at the over-6-foot ex and setting the rules. No negative talk about the other parent. No spying or passing messages through the children. The best part....when she told him the co-parenting is merely a business transaction from here on out. He and I are the partners in the busines and his wife is to stay out of any disagreements or discussions regarding parenting. As a man who hates being told what to do, especially by a (gasp) WOMAN, he was fuming.

To be fair, she was also blunt with me. Take it slow with the new SO. Introduce him slowly, etc. I nodded in agreement, resisting the urge to point fingers and ask about all the different women he paraded past the kids before finding someone who could be subserviant. Sooo...I guess I appreciate her honesty, but it is also a bitter pill to be told how to handle my own personal life.

Following the meeting, each of us played with DS for 15 minutes while the therapist watched behind a mirrored wall. I thought those only existed in interrogation rooms!!!!!!! Although it was a bit uncomfortable, I kicked off my boots and played monster trucks.

Why do some people bother to get married? I can probably include myself in that question, so I feel justified asking it aloud. For example, someone who cannot remain faithful in a dating relationship, yet expects to remain faithful in marriage I consider a fool. I am not casting judgement on the act, just on the perception of monogomy. A dear friend cheated on every single guy she has ever dated and on her husband the entire 10 years during marital bliss. Her husband has no clue, and I refuse to be the informant armed with a clue-stick.

However, it has now been brought to my attention I have been used as an alibi the last few months consistently--because I am the "good/safe" friend. Problem is, she forgot to tell me a few times, such as last Friday. Without diving into the details, the husband is now suspicious and she is miserable and telling lies to cover up other lies. The thing is, I want to be the supportive, here's-my-shoulder friend because we have known each other since grade school. Yet, I also see she is on a downward spiral in every aspect of her life. These are her choices and I certainly am not perfect, but the fact that she creates drama in her life while I try to avoid it is frustrating. Although a lot of people would duck and run from this friendship, she and her family would do anything for me, and as a loyal friend, I stick around.

Is it a bad thing to want hard liquor by 8 a.m.?

I spent 20 minutes this morning physically restraining my out-of-control son. This was the first morning back after the long-weekend visit with Satan (a.k.a. ex-husband). So we had the typical evening of re-adjusting to my rules and boundaries, and like every other visit, he typically melts down the first morning. He is happy to be home, yet coming down from a weekend with Satan is overwhelming for the little guy. So rather than letting him hurt himself or anyone else until the meds kick in, I sit on the floor and hold him until he calms down enough to control himself. By the time we were on the way to preschool, he was happily munching toast and all smiles. Great for him. By the time I pulled into the parking lot at work I was still considering taking up smoking and buying a few ounces of the good stuff.

On the bright side. My new glasses are ready for pick-up so I can discard the duct-taped, bent and scratched pair I wear only at night in the privacy of my own room. Note: 2-year-olds and eyeglasses are an expensive recipe for disaster.

Also, fall is here!! YAY! Long sleeves, jeans and real shoes so I don't have to paint or pedicure every 2 weeks.

I am finally joining the ranks of the live journal people. So here I am.

My kids come home tonight. It will be crazy goodness all around. I picked up the mouse at lunch so she could help pick out a b-day present for big brother. The swimming b-day party will take place in two weeks. Complete with private use of the pool, sandwiches and cake. Add to list: Buy Earplugs.

I started taping The View when Rosie came aboard. She is honest and outspoken and the GOP hates her. I love it. Yesterday, Barbara Walters brought paper towels she had stolen from the White House bathroom. Rosie's comment.."They can figure out how to put the Presidential Seal on a paper towel, but not clean up New Orleans?"

Elizabeth whoever (one of the co-hosts) could be heard muttering..."put a cork in it."

You see Rosie has the financial stability and the audience to speak her mind. As the critics come forward pointing fingers, she laughs and stands behind freedom of speech and democracy. Truth told. The woman has been retired for four years and could remain retired the rest of her days without financial suffering. She doesn't need the job if the powers that be whip out the hatchet. So she voices her opinion, and I applaud and laugh.
