Really dizzy now. I've never had this reaction to Vicodin before. Not sure what to do, other than sit very still so that the room doesn't fall down.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Hil, is there something you can eat that wouldn't require you to cook? It might help.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
One of my toughest life lessons was learning that "being kind to others" isn't the same thing as "having people like you and try to understand you." It hurts when you try your best and they're still mean and angry, but that's not your fault.
Amen and worth reposting. Did you make him late? Did you force him to be unkind to you? Did you sabotage his car so he couldn't show up? No. Time to be a mama bear and stand up for your children. You are doing the best thing for them.
Y'all, I'm kind of proud of myself right now. I really wanted to go to bed about an hour ago, but I chose three things I needed to do; ranked them in order of importance; and set the timer. I finished two and made significant progress on the third. So now I get to read a bit, and then go to bed. Woot.
I want to become a finisher. I'm a good starter, but I lose momentum and get bored and distracted. I want to strengthen my finishing muscles. Dammit.

Crap, Hil. Seconding the "eat something" rec - make it something with fat and protein.

I don't have much food in the house, since I was away for a week and just got back yesterday. I had a frozen burrito for dinner. I don't really feel like I could keep food down right now.

Ginger tea, maybe? I'm sorry you're feeling this way.

But I've always tried to live my life being kind to others. And it hurts to fail. But yeah, it's not all over.
as long as you were truthful, you were not unkind. And even if you were, you were doing what's best for your children.

I don't think I have any tea. Thanks for the suggestions, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
While I want the kids to see him, I think they are too little for 50/50 given our situation, which is what he says he wants.
Just so you know, I've never heard of a judge ordering a 50/50 physical custody. It's too complicated to do unless both parents are invested in doing it and willing to work with each other. It has to be mutually agreed upon.
Since your ex hasn't worked with you and you've documented the ways he's been unreliable and uncommunicative and he's spent so much time away from the family, the Judge is probably going to give him something like 35% physical custody. Which is like - every other weekend and a weeknight dinner. That's close to the minimum for an interested parent.
He is going to be pretty angry about the journal. I'm just warning you.
