Where's my shoe.

I came home from work yesterday and went out to say hello to my guest on the patio-Spike. I noticed one of my tennis shoes was astray and looked like it had been tossed around and slobbered on a bit. I did not see the partner. I looked at Spike and asked him where the other shoe was he only looked at me like I was nuts. We then went round the yard looking. No shoe. This troubles me somewhat as Spike is a guest and actually has owners and I did not want to seem like I was not taking care of him. Still I looked for the shoe. I could only ascertain after not seeing it that it had been consumed. How does a dog eat a Skecher tennis shoe? No fluff, no remnants of sole, no dangling shoe lace. Gone.

I don't want to see where it is found.

Spring Break ha ha (deadpan)

Spring break. I guess when you are young and carefree still in school it means a lot. I don't recall it ever meaning that much to me when I was young. I never did the college years spring breaks-I was always working then.
I figured I would take the week off with the kids and do something fun. I did manage to take a couple of days to take care of some business -tax papers, car repairs and the boys had some dental work done as well. In this economy it's hard for me to justify a trip somewhere. We did hang out with friends and took the train to the science center down town. No free wheeling beach trips, beer bongs or shenanigans. It was sort of boring but I did get lots of rest and had some fun hanging with my boyos.

# 2 did come down with strep so we had a detour to the doc as well. I don't understand why I feel like nothing happened but the kids said they had a good time. I guess I am just dreading going back to work on Monday. Spring break just isn't as fun as I thought it could be. I guess I missed out. Oh well we should have a better time this summer.

Manimony

So I am a single mother. We divorced last year. I bought a house at the top of the downward spiral-got a good interest rate was suprised I could buy something at all considering I am paying the ex "manimony". Initially I didn't mind it just needed to get out. Now though I am deeply angered by this. X is now updating the house that we purchased together with all the things I wanted to do but didn't because he said we couldn't afford it. Hmmmm. Now that he is "engaged" he has the money, time and effort to do these things. Yes she is moving in with him. He is going to Belize for 2 weeks, taking a week off to go to California-Legoland, the whole SOCal tour buying flat panel TV's. How does this work? I have a tube TV, no chance of going anywhere fancy this summer and a car that I can barely afford to repair.

Am I missing something.

I am going to call a Lawyer.
