The Ex’s Weekend and Spring Break

It’s not my weekend to have the kids, so I think I’m going to take some time to be with the depression I’ve been dealing with lately.  I hope Little Man does o.k. because his sister left this morning to go on spring break with her best friend and her grandparents  so he’ll be alone.  [...]

Hilary Clinton “Stumping” For Votes

Does anyone besides me find that terminology pretty funny?  I have the news on the t.v. in the background while I’m working on some freelance writing assignments this morning and that’s what I heard.  Does anyone else have that sort of “selective hearing”  while working?  Hilary is here in my home state, in Terre Haute [...]

Fault vs. No Fault Divorce-How Does Your State Measure UP?

This is an excellent link that puts it all on one place.  The chart on that webpage tells you in a glance whether your state is fault, no fault, or both when it it’s time to rule on divorce.  Remember, that fault has nothing to do with child custody.  This chart also tells you if [...]

Weekend!

I wish I had something exciting to tell you about my weekend, but I don’t.  I thought about going to the musical our high school was doing, “Grease.”  I remember being in love with the soundtrack to it when it was a musical.  I was probably 9, I think, and my parents bought it on [...]

Do I Need to Be Branded?

Hah!  Got your attention. Nope, I don’t live in Texas, or on a ranch in Montana, though both of those would be preferable right now to the life I’m living.  I’m not one of those amazing cows the kids watch on Nick in that barnyard cartoon, either, though I have been called a heffer before [...]

Growing Trend Among Not-For-Profits?

The only commercials, once upon a time, I saw asking for car donation was Salvation Army.  Now I see ads on television all the time asking for us to turn over our unused vehicles to this organization or that one citing the tax write-off benefit for those who donate.  I don’t know about you all, [...]

Cyber-Snooping-Is It Ever Legal?

I’m not a lawyer.  I’m not giving you legal advice.  If you are thinking about it, consult a divorce lawyer in your town to make sure you aren’t breaking laws.  And be sure you really want answers to the questions running around in your head.  You might get more than you bargained for. Here are [...]

Carseat Recalls!

Two carseats have been recalled for regulation failures:  Recarro carseats and Combi carseats.  If you have these stop using them immediately.  I can’t stress this strongly enough. Combi’s not doing so great this month.  They also have an infant rattle that’s a choking hazzard.  Check your baby’s toys to be sure they are safe.  Moms [...]

Snooping on Your Spouse? Better Think Long and Hard About It

This news story about snooping on your spouse’s online activities if you suspect cheating caught my eye today.  It’s not unusual for a partner to email the “other person”  if they are cheating, or to frequent online chat rooms or dating sites if they are looking, but trying to catch your signifigant other in the [...]
