Attorney Work Product: December 2013

http://attyworkproduct.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html

Life in the Bluegrass as a wife, mom, and attorney. This blog is not intended to provide legal advice, legal services or legal anything else. Don't sue me. All I have is debt anyway. Tuesday, December 31, 2013. Man, I just read last year's New Year's post, and realized, I didn't do half bad in 2013. Let's start with the kids. She might end up changing the spelling of her name to be "V." No last name either, just "V." She's self-assured like that. Well, I made it to December 31, alive, too. Okay, so I've ...

Attorney Work Product: October 2012

Life in the Bluegrass as a wife, mom, and attorney. This blog is not intended to provide legal advice, legal services or legal anything else. Don't sue me. All I have is debt anyway. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. The baby, nearly 14 months, is a lot of fun, although she's also rotten as hell. Don't give a shit. 2 The baby is very fond of pots, lids, and stirring. She's always been enamored with Cora's play kitchens and miscellaneous play cookware, however, she has since moved on to actual cookware. My sis...

Goodbye, Holiday Break. After a frenzied fall, the holiday break has been a nice reprieve. It was insane leading up to the break, with holiday parties and school concerts and semester exams and lots of work deadlines to meet. But everything pretty much dropped off on December 20th. No yelling at the kids about homework. All my cases are on simmer instead of roiling boil. All of this just makes me ready for summer. Links to this post. 1 I tried something new. That would be fencing with my girls. I...I fin...

Or what kind of IDIOT stands in line for five hours for a ride? Not me, that's for sure. Oh wait. I carefully planned my vacation around the camp schedules and my trial schedule, trying to stay several weeks out from a big arbitration in late August. Oh, the best laid plans. When the kids first suggested Universal we had no idea that a new Harry Potter was opening soon. But all the ads said it would open in Summer 2014, so I assumed it would happen weeks before our visit and crowds would thin a bit.

Our plans to travel to Hometown this morning were thwarted by sickness. TT, who has been on antibiotics for an ear infection for the past week, spent most of Christmas day complaining that her ear was hurting again and the entire side of her face was throbbing. DH started developing a sore throat. I sent them both to urgent care this morning. DH has strep and TT has a sinus infection. So we've delayed our trip. This was the best Christmas ever! Links to this post. Not So Merry Christmas. We found out yes...

Today is her birthday. Or was. Usually I was filled with dread over the expectation that I call her. So that didn't happen today. Maybe I should have just faked it and said all the stuff people expect you to say about your dead mother. But I've never been the faking type. I say what I think and I always have. Although I have learned to be silent when necessary, I'm incapable of saying something I don't really mean. But since I can't think of anything generous, I will at least tell her story. For pros...

Legally Certifiable: The One Where LC is Hit by a Drunk Driver

http://legallycertifiable.blogspot.com/2015/08/the-one-where-lc-is-hit-by-drunk-driver.html

The One Where LC is Hit by a Drunk Driver. We are all ok. The damage to the car is very minor. But we were literally one second from catastrophe. So we were heading east toward our hotel. There was a split in the road we were taking and I was trying to read the signs to make sure I was in the right lane for the highway that we needed. I haven't driven much in Cool City and did not know my way around at all. Oncoming traffic was coming from the hill that we were about to drive over. We watched them do the...

We're back from our cruise. It was just DH and me while the girls were in school. It was a wonderful getaway for us, but I think it also forced some self-sufficiency onto the girls (no, they weren't left alone.). And she was offered an internship this week! Making my child a productive member of society makes me feel like a successful parent. And this is in the field that she wants to go into and will look great on her college apps. I'm so excited for her! Meanwhile, SS auditioned for and got a part in t...

My Life is a Clusterf*ck. We spent the weekend at an out-of-town robotics competition for PS. (They won, yay! The competition was a couple of hours from Hometown, so my aunt came down on Friday, and DH's family came down on Saturday to hang with us and see the 'bots. You may also remember that I don't get along with my mother at all. She is toxic and I do my best to avoid contact with her. I speak to her a couple of times a year. So this time around I just told Aunt and Brother to keep me posted. DH and ...

Legally Certifiable: And so this happened....

http://legallycertifiable.blogspot.com/2015/05/and-so-this-happened.html

And so this happened. So the rosary was 6:00 pm Friday and the funeral Saturday morning. My awesome DH put together a really nice slideshow to play while everyone was being seated before the services. So we arrived for the Rosary and the slideshow was playing, and people started coming in and sitting down. I stayed near the door to greet guests. No sign of a funeral director or priest. It was so bizarre- definitely not like any rosary or wake I have ever attended. I never expected to have to run my m...
