Blah

10 Feb

Another week ahead. I’m hoping that good things will happen. I’ve requested a meeting with HR tomorrow to discuss some unpleasantness, so please wish me luck. I also have some other meetings with people around town on my lunch hours that I’m hoping will be productive since certain avenues I’d hoped to explore at work now appear to be shut not only to me but to any candidate for the time being. :sad: One of my close friends “resigned” her position last week so I’m a bit scared to speak to HR, but I also know that I can’t ignore these problems. Keep everything crossed for me and sorry for the lack of detail.

Today was an oddly unproductive day. Fought long and hard with Chapin this morning, even using the “D” word (we rarely do that — a month’s stress rearing it’s ugly head), then took Pumpkinhead out for “family time” to make up for being bad, screaming parents in front of him. Came home and took a two-hour nap to try to get rid of the headache that wouldn’t quit. Then my Dad came by to tell me my brother has lost yet another job and needs help finding a new one (in another faraway city) and couldn’t I spare some time to help him. :roll:

Tried to read for class but decided my head was in better shape to work on research for a paper instead. Now I’m off to bathe Pumpkinhead and get him to bed. Last night he decided it would be fun to make an “experiment” so he poured an entire brand new bottle of bubble bath and 2/3 of a bottle of shampoo over his rubber ducky and other toys inside a bath bucket. :evil:

Weekly MILS Roundup #32

10 Feb

The Weekly MILS (Moms In Law School) Roundup** is the brainchild of Saramel (retired). It is hosted on a rotating basis at the PT-LawMom and A Little Fish in Law School blogs and is usually posted no later than Monday morning. Next week’s MILS Roundup will be hosted by Butterflyfish.

Please forgive the editorial comments weaved into today’s roundup. ;) I’m chatty today.

2L Wannabe must be running a fever (never gonna happen! If it does, I’ll owe you some great act of public humiliation, like racing through my school’s courtyard in a ball gown and boa sporting a PT-LawMom tiara or some such nonsense, but since it’s never going to happen there’s no need to worry about the particulars…)

Butterflyfish should stick with the ladies.

New Duck is finding out that sometimes the best answers are the most obvious ones.

Dakota and I are having the same mental debate. D, for me it’s all about healthcare. Did you read this NY Times piece? Totally swung me towards Hillary, even though I really WANT to vote for Obama. :sad: Fortunately I have some time yet before my state’s primary to think a bit more.

Over at Diary of a Law School Mom, Bubba is plotting and planning (maybe he’ll put it to use as a famous movie director?)

Citations is still overwhelmed, but looking on the bright side.

ProtoAttorney is starting to realize the full extent of parental worry (just wait!)

LagLiv could really use a break.

You, too, will want to dive right into Law School Sucks — and So Do Lawyers to nibble on these cute little toes and cheeks.

I love this post from Magic Cookie on the correct grammatical usage of the term “as such.” Check it out, if for no other reason than to see her cool illustration of a pet peeve. :lol:

Kim at Merits of the Case just wants you to get out and vote (she’ll even help you register!).

Googie Baba’s got her priorities straight (and an awesome summer job!)

Andrea and her champ are getting out and getting recognized!

Cee’s learning all about the tiniest measurements and riding the hormonal rollercoaster. :wink:

If you’d like to have your blog added to the MILS blogroll for weekly review or would like us to consider a specific post, drop the hostess(es) an email or leave a comment at their respective sites.
