No surprise, I didn’t have much say about hiring/not hiring a lawyer. If it had been up to me, I would have prayed a lot and gone with a court-appointed attorney. However, DH was warned by his former fellow inmates not to go that route. So…we were headed for more expense and greater stress. Fortunately, I did have some input about who was put on the payroll.... Read more

I have half an hour to write about my week’s activities. There won’t be a lot to report since I’ve been home most of the time and TRYING to get into a cleaning mode. The house is better than it was but it still isn’t where I’d like it to be. But is it ever?... Read more

One of the hazards of publishing chapter after chapter instead of submitting a completed manuscript is there are inevitably times when it strikes the author that lots was left out. The fact is, if every single memory were recorded, it would multiply the words exponentially. I wouldn’t be able to write it all and no one would want to read it all. Let’s let it go at this: I’ll write what comes to mind at the moment. If something is remembered later that has bearing on the story, I’ll include it then. If not, be assured there is lots more that happened than you’ll ever know.... Read more

During the months to follow the move, DS2 moved from school to school, trying to find his niche. It was hard on all of us but harder on him than anyone else. We’d been advised to use “tough love” but that didn’t work when he went to my mother and she chose to take him in. It caused a rift in the family that lasted a long time. It made me exceedingly sad that I was out of touch with my mother AND my son. I’m sure there was something I could have done to remedy it sooner but I felt betrayed in a way. Nothing would be gained by going into all the detail leading up to his moving in with her. It was a rocky road and I’d wish it on no one.... Read more

With DH back with the pilot pool in Atlanta, his absences from home were longer and more frequent. I was beginning to find out living on the ranch wasn’t as pleasant as I’d thought at first. It was hard to cope with DS2 when DH was gone. He was full into his early teens and hormones were beginning to rage. Our landlord would let him drive all over the property (which was huge) in the farm pickup and he’d rather do that than study. ... Read more

Tomorrow is the last day of the week but my work week is history. This won’t be a long involved post because I didn’t make a single note and I’m not going to try to go back and remember details. If that’s a big disappointment, sorry. If it’s a relief, I’m glad I was able to help.... Read more

DD and I went outside to see who was flying over. It was a big plane (for us) and beautiful. The colors on it were shades of brown including chocolate—unusual. It flew over, came around, flew back around and prepared to land. It was obvious it was on a final approach. As it touched down, I could see the pilot and it was DH! He hadn’t told me he was swinging by to see us. What a thrill! It was, by far, the nicest airplane he’d flown and he was sharing the experience. He touched down and that’s when it happened....

My mother brought us all up to respect authority and along with that came trust. When I was contacted about being “interviewed”, it didn’t occur to me that I should at least have another adult present. A lawyer to advise me would have been appropriate. The thought never crossed my mind. In my world, if you were honest and told the truth, you would be treated fairly. Yeah, right.... Read more

I know, I know. I’m supposed to be writing the umpteenth chapter of my life but I’m exercising my right to change my mind if I want to. It is my blog and I could just go to bed, ya know!... Read more
