Remember the other night when I was mentioning what a law school slacker I have become in the face of all of this stress? Well those two papers I had to finish? Got the top mark possible (check +). I’m going to liken it to being super-late to work when you leave early but somehow arriving on time when you oversleep and race out the door 20 minutes before you have to be there. Weird how the universe works….
Still, I think I will actually write my due dates on my calendar this week. 
Hooray for the weekend. It has been a long week at work, in life, etc. But guess what I have to look forward to next week? Wine with Ana and another anonymous local law blogger. 
Last night I had a date with my best boy, Pumpkinhead. We went to a yummy, inexpensive local Italian dive. He had spaghetti and meatballs and I had about four bites of some super-rich, gooey, delicious lasagna. My stomach is still kind of knotted but that tasted wicked good. Brought the rest home for later.
Pumpkinhead and I had a “Come to Jesus” about his behavior this week. I got THREE calls from his teacher this week!! Argh. Then we played. He kept putting the napkin on his head so I tied it under his neck and snapped pictures of my cute little old Italian lady. LOL. Then Pumpkinhead and I had cuddle time in Mommy’s bed and watched Grey’s Anatomy (okay, I know, the last two episodes were seriously inappropriate for kids but he was mostly playing his Nintendo while I watched). He finally fell asleep and then I followed a few hours later.
Today I have to take my car and its THREE nail-punctured tires to the tire store for repair (damn Hurricane debris!). Then Pumpkinhead, Mom and I are off to the Symphony to see a Dr. Seuss show. There’s a petting zoo beforehand which should be great fun.
DivorceCare tomorrow, where the topic is “Facing My Depression.” Ooh fun. Followed by cleaning out Chapin’s truck so that I can return it in the condition he left it (he was a psycho man, cleaning his Baby constantly). Guess I shouldn’t tell him about the hot dates I’ve had in the cab of his truck. LMAO. Next weekend I’m going to drop his truck off at the airport with his mail, copy of the divorce papers, visitation calendar, directions/contact info for Pumpkinhead’s school/aftercare, a key to the storage unit and a map to the motel where he has reservations. Then he can call us when he is settled in and I’ll take Pumpkinhead over there to visit him. That was Blue Eyes’ great idea because I was feeling a LOT of stress about having to go to the airport to meet him. Hadn’t even considered the truck dropoff idea. Takes that control back. Thank goodness.
Okay, off to shower and start my day.
