This time last year my face was falling off.
It is weird to go back and read my blog and think how much life has changed in a year. Not all of it for the worse.
A year ago, I would have laughed you out of the room if you told me I would be divorced, living back home, and back in school. And yet here I am. When school is over I will have the opportunity to work in a field that is both intellectually and personally fulfilling. If my ex-husband hadn't started down his weird path to destroy his life around this time last year I would probably never have gotten the opportunity to pursue this career. Not that that makes up for how badly his actions has affected our kids, but it is still a nice flower growing out of the manure he dumped on us.
Additional updates from the above post as follows:
- My daughter was fully potty trained 3 months after that post.
- My nose still looks pierced.
- I have not eaten steal cut oats since that morning.
- Earthquakes are still sad.
- Scott Walker is still a douche. (Whose campaign sends literature to my dead grandparents who were from Illinois so what is up with that?)
- My kids are still cute.
Telling you what you should do since 2010

On a Random Quicktake
11 Random thoughts because I don't have the inclination to put together a coherent blog post.
1. Neurology is super interesting. I love how our brains are put together, so intricate. It is also super scary to know how one little blood clot or tumor can fuck it up.
2. Today we had to watch video of individuals with different types of aphasia. One type effected physical production and the other effected speech comprehension and coherent production. Some of the people in the class laughed at the poor guy that had the later aphasia. I get that it was odd and uncomfortable to watch, but... The video just made me sad for the poor guy. You judge.
See? Not funny.
2. My son loves LEGO Star Wars. He makes "scenes" out of them every dang day. Yesterday he tore apart a bunch of them and called the scene The Ruins of Naboo. I know I am his mom, but I am pretty sure he is brilliant. :P
3. Speaking of which I had him tested for gifted a few weeks ago. I wonder how he does on standardized tests?
4. Speaking of Star Wars, I kind of find Star Wars super boring. I frequently zone out when my son talks to me about it. Smile and nod. Smile and nod.
5. I also think Transformers are lame.
6. My new show is Dance Moms on Lifetime. It all has to be fake. Seriously. Who lets their kid get yelled at everyday by some a-hole? Who wants to watch that? Oh yeah, me. Watching those parents makes me feel better about myself.
7. I am afraid my kids are going to be messed up because their dad is such a screw up. How did I not see this coming? It is odd to think of the double life my ex must have been leading. If he could have just been a normal screw up that had a normal affair we all would be much better off right now.
8. It is weird to talk nicely to the ex. But I am an adult and capable of acting like one to get business done.
9. My cat has to move out. I wrote a personal ad for her today. It will be up on petfinder soon. I am sad about this and cried all day Saturday about it. Mostly because when I told my daughter the kitty had to find a new home she started crying and told me that I made her heart hurt. The cat will be so much happier without 3 roommates though. If anyone knows someone who wants a 7 year old declawed female let me know. I will drive her almost anywhere.
10. I am ready for spring.
11. I love Crocs.

On a small update
So the queen has not exactly abdicated her thrown, but life sure the f*ck has changed in the last 5 months. :P Don't expect toooooo many updates here my friends, mainly because I am a busy little wanna be royal. Not much time for superfluous writing.
If you are reading this, you probably already know what is going on and if you don't know you can ask and I will probably tell you. That or you can totally just google my bidnez. :P I know I would if I were you. I am so nosy and you are pretty interesting.
I like this blog and don't really want it to die so I may or may not attempt random updates. Let us not hold our breath though because I don't want any of my friends to pass out.
'Til we meet again!
