Over the weekend I briefly read through some Facebook comments regarding a story about a woman in a Burke for Governor ad who had been charged with a crime in her past. I didn't read the full story due to time and the fact that it wouldn't change any of my opinions. This morning, I…
Poopy Poopy Shit Shit
So, it was either sleep or blog. Because I am too pissed off and in a vat of self pity to do anything that is actually productive. Thus, I blog. This morning as I arrived at the Dem office to do some volunteer work (I usually do 1-2 times per week), I received an email…
Seeking Advice…No, Seriously
Today my daughter (who is 6 and in kindergarten) came home with a field trip permission slip. "MOM!! Can you come with us this time?!" "No, Cass, I'm sorry but I can't" I answered, which is usually enough. "But why? You never do! The other moms do and you didn't even do it in 4K!"…
Elected Officials…Are They Really There When You Need Them?
So, a couple weeks ago I got a bug up my ass and decided to write to half the state pretty much begging for assistance in getting my criminal (that sounds so crazy) expunged. Thus far, I have had little response and absolutely no answers. First, I wrote to everyone on the Expungement Committee. Then someone…

Mean Moms…Have I Become One?
Once in a while I come to the realization that I can be very hard on people. I expect a lot. As a result, I am also disappointed a lot. Clearly this is not a healthy, fair or a productive way to exist. And I cannot say it is really a conscious thing. I think…
Why Society is Screwed – Updated
****Please see update below**** My stepdaughter walked in the room and asked if she could print something. I asked what as she needed to leave for school in 2 minutes. She said she needed the lyrics to All the Single Ladies because her and 3 friends were doing it for the talent show. I laughed…
My Plea, My Angst
8/29/2006 The Plea, My Angst This was written prior to my posting the whole story - but after having actually written it. I try to be very forthcoming and honest on my blog. I feel that I try to live authentically and honestly. And I want to share my experiences not only due to…
The REAL Sentence
8/31/2006 The REAL Sentence - August 30, 2006 Today I met with my probation agent. It was a complete and utter disappointment and I am too upset to write much. Apparently the sentence the judge gave means nothing. He said he wished they wouldn’t tell people it was up to the agent because probation…
Great Appreciation
8/31/2006 Great Appreciation - August 30, 2006 There have been several people who have stood by me in full support throughout this ordeal. Either through emails or phone calls, they continuously contact me with concern. They have written letters and affidavits in my defense. And they have sincerely listened to the entire story without…
