Thats how much my car just cost me. OUCH! I drive a 1989 Toyota Turbo Supra. I LOVE that car. Not as much as my Mustang (wherever you are mommy loves you). But, I DO love it. I had better, she has cost me (or my parents - God Bless them)- $2400 in the last 4 months! But, I have 4 new tires, new front brakes and an aligned car. Balanced wheels. I also have gold plated spark plugs ( I sh&t you not!, when we got the bill for the tune up I said J&^us Ch*75t! Are they made of gold? and the man was like "um, yeah" LOL!) and new head gaskets. She should, Please God!, be good for another 100,000 miles.

Borrowed boy is well. We have spoken to him several times. He and #2 are planning extended "sleep overs". #1, #2 and borrowed girl are driving over on Sunday. Apparently the Dad has a car for borrowed girl, so she can see her brother and get her ride. I am very proud of #1. He worries so about #2 and always goes out of his way to ensure that #2 is ok with his life. #1 is a beautiful, brilliant boy (as is #2). They make me so proud.

We have had an eventful week. On Saturday #2, borrowed girl, other borrowed girl and myself cleaned condos. 23 condos! #2 and I personally cleaned 9 and then we helped with another 7. I type this with a cast on one hand (my joints are still swollen and we suspect a stress fracture in one wrist). Borrowed girl does this everyday now! No wonder she is always so freakin tired! May I please ask that you consider the housekeeping when you stay in hotels and such. Most of the rooms were quite reasonable. This one room has EVERY DISH in the entire condo in the sink, WITH food on and the sinks full of water. These sinks had no garbage disposal! These people did not do 1 dish the entire stay! And this was a family! It was really disgusting. Took 3 loads in the dishwasher as well as handwashing to clean them all. I am working 3 jobs now. No court date until 4 August. One hopes that the judge is a rational, sentient being. I am worried the ex-FMF will get away with no spousal support. I don;t believe that one should automatically get alimony, but when one has been married almost 20 years and ones spouse (though mutual agreement) stays home with the kids most of that time and has no retirement fund - I think there is a certain responsibility to that spouse. Lets hope the judge agrees, cause I can't keep up the 3 job thing much longer.

Took borrowed girls cat in to get "fixed" and declawed. Yes, I know there are those out there that disagree with the procedure. If I had outdoor cats (and let me just say that I am not particularly a cat person - though we now have 3) I would never dream of it. But I live in the middle of town and outdoor cats become splat cats. I also have some very lovely furniture, made in Ireland, that I am very attached to. I can not replace them here and if I could it would run to the thousands (I bought them in the UK when I had a real job and made real money) So, declawed is were it is at.

I have not heard from Personals man. Or the other personals man. I must really be as boring as I think I am.

Could someone please go get Nathan for me?

Thanks to all who offer encouragement! Your thoughts mean a lot to me. It is nice to know that there is someone out there that gives a damn!
