Mother's Day was nice.  I tend to down play these "special" days because I feel they are just one more push for mass consumerism.  But Jason brought me coffee in bed, Dylan was nice and talked to me a lot and Render fed the cat (barfs him out).  I never got out of my PJ's and watched movies most of the day!  Can you say, "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

I just put in my resume for a Guardian Ad Litem job though Domestic Relations Court.  I have been a volunteer GAL through Juvenile Court for two years now.  I don't really feel the court has a lot of respect for my work.  This tends to be the case when a job is volunteer.  In theory I am an arm of the court and an advocate for the child.  But it just doesn't seem to work out that way.  Can you say, "FRUSTRATED."

This Friday I see the neurosurgeon.  He will let me know how my back injury has progressed.  I am hoping I will get the green light for a trip to New York.  But I am concerned because I still have pain late in the day, and all weekend my back and shoulder have been tingling.  Now sure what it means.  Can you say, "OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
