Things can change from one breath to the next. One minute, you believe all is right and well, and the next, you’re fighting to breathe, wondering what the hell knocked the wind out of you just when you had started dusting yourself off from the last time something knocked you off your feet. Sometimes, the [...]

I went to mediation today with my ex husband over some issues we were having. Mediation is confidential, so I can’t say much, but I can say it went well! We came to an agreement that I am very happy with! Glad that’s over! On to doing some blog things I’ve been neglecting for a [...]

I informally requested sole custody from Bob today. We have been having problems, so we are going to mediation. However, I really don’t trust that mediation will do any good. Maybe in the moment, but not long term. So today was the final straw, and through email, requested that Julieanne come live with me on [...]

So of course since I said I wouldn’t be blogging for the next couple months, I got a phone call today from my lawyer. We’re  going to mediation within the next several weeks! I am suddenly extremely nervous!!

I mentioned several weeks ago that I had some problems with Julieanne’s doctor’s office that involved a call to my lawyer (who is super, btw! If you ever need a lawyer in NW Arkansas, I can give you the name of a good one!).  That Wednesday night, I watched an episode of 18 Kids and [...]

Goodness, I’m sorry about my crazy cryptic post last night! I had a lot of things on my mind, all of them custody related, and I wanted to get it off my chest but couldn’t entirely. I feel lots better this morning, having thought it through and coming up with some ideas on how to [...]

How did I manage to get myself into such a predicament regarding my career choices? I’ve mentioned how I have a psychology degree a few times. But what possessed me to get one in the first place? My parents told me they didn’t want me to get a psych degree, though the reason they gave [...]

I hung up the phone Monday night feeling kind of like a bitch. Cooperation preceded the feeling. I called Bob to ask about a sore on Julieanne’s hand and foot and a sudden fear of the police. At the end of the fight-free conversation, I thought, wow, I really demonize him sometimes. And then the [...]
