Stephanie you totally don't suck! You deal with a sucky ex-husband, and with three kids (who dont' seem to suck...thanks to YOU) and help people live in this country! You rock.
I believe that's my hey. Hey!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
Thank you. Sammy's father has been a total jerk to me yesterday and today. I just feel like I deserve it because I made such bad choices even though I know it isnt true. But I also just feel like I let Sammy down in someway (eta: like i owe hom an applogy for having such a bad father) even though I know he wouldn't exist without his father, lame as he is.
I just make such bad choices.

But even if his father is being a dumb-butt, he has awesome extended family, right? Sammy has that, at least! Plus, he doesn't have to deal with your ex...:)

That is very true. They are awesome. His father has a girlfriend who just found out about Sammy and is making my life miserable. The answer is to not pick up the phone but I didn't see it coming. I wont again. It's just so trashy and embarrassing....it just makes me feel dumb. And alone.

Tell the crazy bitch to step off, and take it up with her boyfriend--you are not the problem!

Stephanie, I'm sorry you have to deal with that. Sammy is an adorable, and by all evidence very happy, boy who is lucky to have you as his mom.

Can I like your post?
I also lost a case today that I think I should have one. I know why we lost but still, an all around shitty day. The one good news is that Sammy is almost walking. He's taking two steps between things. It's very cute.

Stephanie,
is the crazy witch calling you? You know, you can get a restraining order against her, yes?

First she sent me a really nasty FB message which I copied and printed. Then she had him call me and ask/tell me a bunch of weird over the top things about changing Sammy's last name (to not be his). I Hung up when she started yelling. Then today I was texting him trying to figure out what was going on when at some point she took his phone, started texting and them called me and stared yelling again. I've been thinking about a restraining order. I don't really want to go to the trouble (filing with the police, a hearing) because the whole thing is embarrassing. But I may have to do it. In my mind, I'm thinking that if she calls again, I'll have to go file. Because I made it clear that I don't want her to call again.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Stephanie, you very much do not suck.
Something that does suck? The technical writing at my work place. You'd think that with people whose entire job is writing SOP's and mission statements and such that we wouldn't end up with a mission statement (sorry, new terminology: "VISION - what future we want to create") that reads: "Our vision is to serve a community that trusts every public safety call is answered quickly and results in the best possible response."
Ok, it's not technically WRONG, but it's so poorly scuplted as to make my brain hurt.
