It's weeks like these that make me feel almost tempted to have a big slug of gin despite the pregnancy. Sister's been an emotional wreck during her last week of 3rd grade, going into even more exaggerated than usual fits of hysteria over the discovery that an old toy found in her grandmother's attic contains lead and she'll no longer be allowed to play with it. Whereas before it was merely an interesting curiosity, now that it's made of lead it's suddenly her absolute favorite toy and she' s going to miss it so much. As she's been crying to me all week.
The Ex picked a fight with me in front of Sister a few hours ago because he wanted to change her summertime schedule to begin effective in 5 fucking days, threatening me with a lawyer when I "irrationally" said no, that was not enough notice for me to change all my plans.
And worst of all, a 42-year old friend of mine who was diagnosed with thryoid cancer some months ago has now been told that it's spread to her liver and pancreas. She has no health insurance. I talked with her on the phone a few minutes ago about bringing her some food and listened to her struggle to talk with paralyzed vocal cords and lungs full of God knows what.
I certainly hope the rest of you have had better weeks.

aw, hon...I wish I was there to help you out, or at least to key the ex's car or something. Life just sucks sometimes, don't it?
That stinks about your friend...lots of prayers going up on their behalf.
OMG, I am so sorry about your friend. The rest of it, too. I sure hope your week gets better!
Sorry to hear about your friend.
I know what you mean about tempted with a little drink. Many a times during this pregnancy I could have used a cold one. Didn't though.
I am really sorry to hear about your friend. That is awful beyond words.
Drama Queens. I can hardly wait until A is Sister's age. Yikes.
Hope you can easily sort things out with the ex.
I hope things are better for you. Not a great way to start summer break.
