The other morning, my son was looking for something to do. He has asthma, so going outside to play in the snow is not really an option.
I took out a big pot from under the cabinet and scouted around for a measuring cup, and clean mixing bowl.
Soon, I hear this; “momma, what are you cooking”, from my son, who is now wearing a smile, and looking up at me.
I am going to make you a whole bunch of homemade play-doh! My son, looking up at me; “oh this is super wonderful”. I will be able to make all sort of things with play-doh.
I had no sooner finished rolling out the first batch of my home made play-doh and he was just watching me kneed the play-doh until it was cool enough for him to play with. He was counting down the moments until he could begin creating….
After the 5th batch of play-doh, mixed with bright colored kool-aide he was well on his way to making all sort of monsters and houses and castles. My son sat at the kitchen table for over 2 hours playing with the home made play-doh. Just creating little things out of his mind on a chilly, snowy, Sunday afternoon!
I love these moments like this, when I can just admire the little boy he is at 6 years old. They grow up fast. Soon he will be far too big to really be this excited to wait on mom making her home made play-doh. But for now, I will just tuck this wonderful moment deep inside my heart where it will stay with me, the rest of my life!

If you have personally been following my Face Book page or checked me out on Twitter, then you probably know that I have been facing several legal battles right now (of the personal nature)!
No one likes to receive a letter in the mail from an attorney of a pending law suit from an old flame, x-boyfriend, husband or wife, the neighbor across the street or even worse yet, from a friend. But it does happen and it did happen to me.
My wonderful letter came in the mail around November, right before Thanksgiving. When you can’t afford to hire an attorney or better yet, think you can handle the law suit yourself, well then you submerse yourself in law books and start the dreaded plunge of reading through laws, well actually if you want to really educate yourself, then you read everything there is to know about law and file your own motions and causes of actions..
Ok, this is where I have been. Buried deep inside every law book I could find to read, filing motions, causes of actions and the list just kept on growing and growing.. Until finally, no attorney would want to take my case because of so many papers filed through the court system. And in the middle of all of this horrible waste of my time.. ( I will get to that point in a few moments) I decided, as if I don’t have anything else to do, to write a 275 page book. Yes, I left off at 275 pages of my life and how I actually found myself tossed in to the court system back in August of 1998 and how it has directly impacted my life still to this day. It’s like one of those things, you only see in the movies, because no one you really know of, could of had this sort of crap happen to them in real life.. Well, this is me.. and yes, crap does filter in to one’s lives at different times that you have to deal with through a court system.
I would of like to have thought that when in court some 11 plus years ago that I would of been treated fairly, respectfully and despite having a paid attorney during those times in 1999, that something would of been filed, supporting my own cause of action or motions.. but this just didn’t take place. Now here I am all this time later, dealing with more legal issues that consumed my Thanksgiving, Christmas, my own wedding anniversary and stomped on my new 2010 celebrations. How in the world did I ever get in to all of this to begin with.. I couldn’t even start the process of repeating my words that I painfully typed out in a 275 page book.. but wait, why just 275 pages? Because I am not done with the legal crap yet! Yes, as I write another letter arrived in the mail today concerning one more unrealistic view from an attorney’s prospective, trying to uphold the client he is representing in court ! I was taken back when I actually found some quiet time, to myself and read through the two (2) pages of yet, yes, more bull crap that is not fact or even based on the truth, all to support his client..
I am still pro se in my own case here.. Who better then anyone else to represent myself, because I know the knuckle head behind the words of the motions and cause of actions that are filed through the court system. They are not the truth, but then again, they never have been about the truth, because had this been about the truth this whole time, then I wouldn’t be writing on my blog right now.
It’s terrible that one person can cause so much damage, yet be blind to the damage that is being created. Wrapped in lies, more lies and continual lies and think this is fun to waste the court systems time and money.. I don’t think it’s funny. There are far more other important things going on inside and outside of the window where I live.. not for this, not right now and not fun at all.
I left off at 275 pages of my book, because I am waiting for a direct answer from a higher power on how my book will end. Then and only then will I find the energy and strength to finish the book, pass the book along to a close friend for her to read and maybe want to make a movie out of my book..
My mom always said to me; sometimes bad things happen to good people, and never let the looser walk away a winner! Well, she also said, something good will come out of something bad..! Mom’s and wisdom..!!
I did respond to the brief filed in court a few days ago.. I tore my computer up and couldn’t type fast enough. I have come use to creating word doc pages for court right now, learning more about the laws that I thought were really meant for me. Yes, filed with the Supreme Court, the United States Attorney Generals Office, the Federal Government and of course, lets not forget Civil Liberties Union. Yes, reaching to those higher more powerful people, that can stand up for this solo pro se gal and speak up to the court that failed her..
If you have been the receiver of a letter in the mail, I completely relate to you, feel for you and understand the stress, the emotional trauma and the expense of trying to prepare for court, fight the battles.. It’s like a mini pro se mini war for me.. Something I am not about to surrender in to and wave my white flag for..
Despite trying to be somewhat a little humorous here, as I can’t let this all totally consume my every breath.. I fight the good fight, laugh when I can at myself,. Work hard and spend time with my family and loved ones. This is what is keeping me motivated, keeping me strong and keeping me going!
If you have faced some legal issues in your past, how did you make it through those days in court? You can reply directly or via email if you would like to communicate with me. I would love to read what you have to say, it’s important!
Until my next post.. Please feel free to search around this blog and find a topic that might spark some interest for yourself.

It wasn’t too long ago in the early 40’s that woman everywhere, stopped what they were doing, and filled in for the men that were fighting the war. These woman gave everything they had every single day, to keep our companies growing and working and our economical times from hitting rock bottom. These ladies were the back bone of the United States, open and running. Provided skills that they learned (on the job training). Working some 12 to 16 hour days, working around the clock to do what was needed to keep the economy going strong !
Did these women have a choice? Sure they did, some could of stayed home and did, but what if all of these ladies decided not to put forth the effort and fill in during the this war to keep these companies going? What would of happened to our economy back then? A total collapse of the world around us.
The whole economy would of changed in so many different directions that today would be different for each one of us reading my words right now, for our parents, our own children. Who would of know what the future would of held for anyone of us.
I grew up in the 60’s, took a hold of the 70’s, was around for the new year of the 80’s and graduated in 1981. I jumped in to the 90’s and now here we are in 2010, facing the opposite of what might of been had all those ladies during the war, not stepped in, took a hold of those jobs and made things happen.. We do hold some form of power as a group, in numbers we are stronger now then ever before. We have bonded in unity, passed and created bills, formed support groups, invented products, wrote books, run companies, manage homes, children and yes, we even manage our husbands at times, we have come a long way baby!
I look at our economy now and can’t help but wonder, as women, are we all doing what we can do to power forward, to help all we can, to make things better and to unite as one strong force, to really push things forward for our own children and our grand children? Do we have enough power still to this day to really make a direct difference in how the world will look some 20 years from now, 30 years from now, and even 50 years from now. Will we leave a legacy behind for those other women who come along and want to step up and keep things growing and going strong for the next future generation.
Can we all combine in power to set out to make one thing change that would really make a direct difference?
I am just one person… if you are reading this blog right now, you have a choice inside yourself as well to form with me, two more people. If one more forms, this is three.. how many strong are we still to this day?

I was sitting here thinking about all the things I am really Thankful for and realized that I am very thankful for so many things.
I also realized that I don’t often tell those around me that I am very thankful they are a part of my life, not like I should. Why is it we only realize what we are thankful for during the Thanksgiving Holiday and not every single day?
I wrote on a piece of paper the things I am thankful for and the list just kept growing and growing by leaps and bounds. The more I thought about what I am thankful for, the bigger the list seem to grow and the more I had to write.
I could make excuses as to why I have allowed myself to keep my mouth shut and not speak up, but I am not real sure those around me would really understand. I do have a habit of speaking up for a lot of things, causes, marriage, being a mother, and the list goes on and on and on….I am not the type of person to usually keep my mouth shut for anything… But why is it so hard to speak up for the things I am really thankful for ?
I was reading a short post on FaceBook the other day. Someone had posted about trying to run away from a problem, my mother just so happen to catch the post and reply. It was not so much what she said that took my breath away, it was reading her own words that took my breath away.
Her post reply was out of love, knowledge and of leading a long life at almost 72 years of age.
She replied: Don’t sweat the small things, live a life of humor, love and faith. Grow from the things you learn about and trust that your end of time will one day creep upon you. Love your children and your life daily because you only have one chance of life itself.
I sat and read what my mother posted probably 50 times… her words I found so real ! And then I realized something else, that her journey in this lifetime would soon come to and end.
While growing up, as a child, then young teenager, then right in to adult hood, it’s seldom if ever do we stop and think about how fast life can come and go.. Reading my mothers reply, made me really think of just this.
So be thankful for everyday, for everyday is a gift and no matter what age you are, tell those closes to you how much you value having them be a part of your life ! Tell your children how much you love them, and never allow a day to slip by with out hugs.. and appreciate every day you have to spend on earth as a gift and not just when it’s Thanksgiving Time.
