Update

Okay, since I know that everyone out there has anxiously been awaiting my post about how my interview with the custody investigator went, I'll start with that. If you decide to read any further than that, I thank you! lol

I'm very glad that I got to see the investigator first. The wench doesn't have her first visit until Tuesday. I had a change to sit and talk to her, and give her my side of the whole story first. I am a firm believer in "first impressions". I was advised by my lawyer that the best tactic to take with the investigator's office is one of "I have no problem with Jenny seeing her, nor am I trying to take away visitation from her, I just don't feel that there needs to be an order in place telling me when and where she will see her." and that my main concern is that "She has over-stepped the boundary several times now, even going so far as having to be reminded by the judge that she is NOT Jenny's mother, that I am. (Of course, when this is all over, it's at my whole discretion to cut off contact completely if I see fit!) So, I'm feeling very confident about this. The investigators aren't supposed to let on to which they are swaying, but I got a very positive vibe from her, especially when she said "I don't understand why she has any rights at all!"
I also mentioned how well Jenny has done during the time that she was strictly with me when The vile woman hurt her back. So, keep sending those good vibes my way!

Oh, also, my final interview isn't until April, so I'm hoping to be done with all this by June. That would be just a great way to start the summer!


Okay, so now onto the rest of my BORING day/life........
The one part of my body that I have ALWAYS been so proud of is my hands. I constantly get compliments about them. The skin is very soft, and my nails are very well taken care of. I'm very happy when I go to a nail salon....which is EXTREMELY RARE.....and all they have to do is a gentle massage and a coat of paint. Sometimes I might get an airbrush design, but that's only if I really feel like splurging.
Well, that's all changed now.
Two days ago one of my nails cracked, and my nail file wasn't at my desk. Seems that my oldest daughter, who has begun taking my stuff without asking, and not putting them back (like the hairbrush that she lost....so now we are brushless), took my nail file off of my desk, and didn't return it to it's spot. I'm the type of person that when one nail is short, they all have to be filed down to as close to the shortest one as possible without looking like I bite my nails. Well, I'm also the type of person that when one of my nails is rough, from being cracked or chipped or whatever, I have to file it immediately or else I will chew it in a vain attempt to make it less irritating. With no nail file present, and none in the immediate area, and no hope of finding the one she lost, I began to chew. Next thing I know, I have NO NAILS!!!! The lack of nails is actually quite painful to my finger tips, since it's been so long since my nails were this short!

I know, I know, you're thinking WIMP! What a spoiled BRAT! Oh, that's so GIRLIE! BOO-HOO!! Cry me a river for Pete's sake. But it's the ONLY thing on my body that I don't (or didn't) have issues with. Everything else I hate. I know they will grow back and I know that they will grow back pretty damn fast, as they always do, but for now, I notice the lack of length every friggin' moment. Which means that I will notice the whole time I don't have any kind of length at all.


Anyway, enough of my whining. Tomorrow is little man's 4 month check up. Which means he will not be a happy camper tomorrow night. Shots. Those are always fun. But we will get an official weight check. And, I will have the chance to talk to his doctor, whom I LOVE, about this little boys cough. He's had a cough now for about a month and a half. He doesn't seem to mind it, and he doesn't seem to have a cold, there's no fever, just a cough. But it's becoming more and more frequent. So I will get to talk to her about it.

Oh, yes, and I took some really adorable pictures today of him eating, and watching the snow fall. I know I said yesterday that I would have pictures up, but I am extremely wiped tonight, I'm trying to keep my head from hitting the keyboard. But I'm sure I will have time tomorrow, as I forsee them closing school tomorrow. (It started snowing this morning at 4 a.m. and it's STILL coming down. The roads are HORRIBLE!!) For those of you that live in the south....I stick my tongue out at you in mock "you suck!" mode! (Imagine the scene in Liar Liar when the judge says "Court will reconvene at 1 p.m. and Jim Carrey sticks his tongue out and says "Mugh!" and then runs out of the court room)

Oh yes, and I also wanted to say that for all of you out there, that actually read this, feel free to contact me on the messenger services. On AIM, my screenname is Artgurl21-On Yahoo! it's Trouse_80- On MSN it's Artgurl21@Hotmail.com Don't email me there, I NEVER check it, and don't think the email part of that account is even active anymore. (I always have my messengers up unless I'm on EverQuest, and no one ever talks to me anymore.....(pout,pout)

Well, I know I'm old. I barely made it through the ten o' clock news. But now that it's over, and it's 10:30, it's time for me to head to my uncomfortable bed.

Until tomorrow, Ciao Baby!
