– Dad, May I Ask You A Question? –

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door.
Son: Daddy, may I ask you a question?
Dad: Yeah sure, what it is? replied the man…
Son: Daddy, how much do you make an hour?
Dad: That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing? the man said angrily.
Son: I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?
Dad: If you must know, I make $50 an hour.
Son: Oh, the little boy replied, with his head down.
Son: Daddy, may I please borrow $25?

The father was furious, “If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I don’t work hard every day for such childish frivolities.”

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy’s questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?

After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $25.00 and he really didn’t ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door.

“Are you asleep, son?” He asked.

“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.

“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here’s the $25 you asked for…”

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. “Oh, thank you, daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills.

The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again.

The little boy slowly counted out his money and then looked up at his father.

“Why do you want more money if you already have some?” the father grumbled.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied.
“Daddy, I have $50 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you.”

The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness.

Nature Neuroscience reported a study of the amygdala, the part of the brain dealing with emotional responses. The researchers said the amygdala shows up less and less, as we lie more and more. Essentially, our guilt feelings tend to weaken and shrink.

She’s a cat… nothing more needs to be said, right? LMAO

To THIS…. A few minutes after the video

POWERFUL! Watching this brought back a ton of memories from what the ex Wife did to my late husband and their kids relationship. Of COURSE it didn’t end the Hollywood version way. In fact, she acknowledged (sort of) that my late husband loved his kids 3 months AFTER he died. Can you relate?

I LOVE TikTok. I follow some interesting and funny content creators. Sometimes I watch something that reminds me of my late husbands ex. The link above is one of those.

I remember one time when the ex told “someone” that he needed to tell my husband to relax before he has a heart attack. (That someone was actually me, under a totally different email address.)

Seems the ex’s “long game finally paid off” when he died in 2005. Her appearance at his Memorial Service probably had more to do with her making sure he was dead, then actually “being there for her daughter” (no mention of their son).

In the TikTok video, the content creator said she told her husband that her place was standing over his grave cackling. If I had buried my husband, I have NO DOUBT this is what the ex would do. I KNOW she would do it to mine since she had already told me she would be sure to piss on my grave.

Thank Goodness! How y’all doin’ this morning? I’ve been meaning to write for a few weeks, but I get home from work and errands and am just so exhausted. The heat we were having and apparently about to start having again, just zaps me of all my energy. I’ve never been a summer/heat person, and it seems the older I get, the more I can tell, LOL.

I think I have a bone spur on my left heel. I was diagnosed with one years ago, but it was only irritated that one time, that I can remember, but now it’s really a pain. I’m going to call the doc just to be sure. When I mentioned this to my fiance last week, he said, “Well, if you thought about enlisting in the military, you’ll get a deferment!” OMG, I CRACKED UP!

I’m glad it’s a 3 day weekend. We’ve been back to work since early August, and while it’s so good to be back amongst people, seeing the awesome teachers, students, admin, whom I KNOW are stressed, it’s can be stressful for us as well.

We have a great bunch of students in our class. funny, sassy, and just makes the day go by fast. There’s never a dull moment, and our teacher is great, she loves to be silly while getting work done. PLUS, the kids are engaged when she’s being silly. She’s such a great teacher.

MY student that I am assigned to, colored this picture for me. She’s the sweetest. She colored another one a week before and wanted to give it to me, but she wrote, “To: Mom From: (her name)” and I told her that she needed to give that to her mom, because she wrote “to Mom.” We went back and forth, and she took it back, but she was very upset about it. When I walked her to her mom, at the end of the school day, I noticed she was sad and walking really slow. I asked her what was wrong. She said, “I’m sad.” I asked her why and she said, “Because you said you aren’t my mom!” I gave her a hug, and told her that I will take her coloring picture and when she goes to Art class again, she can color me one and write, “To Ms. Shusha” (that’s how she says Patricia) from (her name)” and I will take it. Don’t think that isn’t just what she did, LOL. On Wednesday, it was almost like she couldn’t wait to get to me, she said, “Miss Shusha, I have something for you!” and she handed me her coloring pic. It was the same exact picture, but colored for me ❤ AND she still got “Mom” in there, LOL The Aid she was with in Art told me she was INSISTENT on putting “Mom” on it.

Her mom and I had this discussion with her, and her mom said she, her daughter, considers her Mom at School.

I just LOVE what I do. Speaking of which…

My daughter and I were talking Thursday afternoon, and she asked me, “What do you want to do, Mom?” I thought I was pretty much doing what I love to do, LOL. She feels I should be using my knowledge in what I learned in my Paralegal Studies in helping others. That was my intent 7 years ago, but because I couldn’t intern FOR FREE, and Family Law attorney’s offices around here aren’t open on the weekends, I didn’t go down that road. I told her I wanted to do a podcast, but not sure of the subjects I want to speak about. I know Parental Alienation is a big one for CERTAIN, but is that all I want to talk about? I’ve always felt I wanted to do something along with what I’m currently doing, it’s just a matter of getting it together and setting it up. I’ll get there. Then, WATCH OUT world! 😉

What’s your plans this weekend? I know it’s supposed to get hot, so I’m not sure what my plans are except to water my plants, and try and stay cool. I can’t tell you how I dislike this hot weather. I try and take my fiancé’s motto of “If you think cool, you’ll be cool,” but it doesn’t work for me. I keep trying though. Maybe one day it will come to pass, LOL.

I’ll write more later, and I’m sure I’ve forgotten some things I’ve been trying to write for two weeks now, LOL. I need to make a conscious effort to write at least every other day or so.

I wish you all a very happy Saturday! Enjoy your day, have fun, stay cool and stay safe! Until next time…

I started back to work this week! It felt good to be back on campus with the students and teachers!! It’s been a crazy start but we made it! I was at work on Monday, but the students didn’t come in until Wednesday. After 18 months or so, it’s been great! it’s also nice to be making money again. I get a paid month off during the year (holidays), then I get a month off during the summer without pay, but in between the month off in summer, (1 week, then 3 weeks) I work summer school. The non paid month off is great for my piece/peace of mind, but definitely NOT for the bank account, LOL.

I picked up my son last night from work and he had some news. He got Employee of the Month for the month of July AND he is NOW FULL TIME, after working full time hours in a part time status. I was so happy for him!! They told him he has an excellent work ethic and he’s always on time. Seeing all the changes at his former employers place, it seems he made a good decision when he decided to quit. I wasn’t really happy with that decision, mostly because it was a Union job, but he was happy at this new employer, and now he’s where he’s at, they recognize his strengths and appreciate his hard work.

BOTH my kids work at the same place now, both have made Employee of the month and both are full time employees. I’m very proud of my kids. ❤️💙💜💜

I started counseling a little while ago, like a month or two ago. I love my counselor. It’s through Zoom, but it’s ok. I had an appointment two weeks ago, and the time just flew by I didn’t even do the “homework” I was supposed to do. So I have that work to do, plus the work I got yesterday, and I had forgotten I had appt yesterday until I got a text.

It’s just busy for me. 3 days a week I drive 50 miles to take my fiancé to his PT appts. (25 each way), after I get out of work. I actually get about a 45 minute test period between getting off work and having to leave again. It’s never a dull moment, so when I get time like on the weekends, I do just chill, do what I want and/or have to do, or not, my choice 👍🏻

I hope all has been well with you all!! Stay up, stay well and healthy and will write again soon!

TTFN,

So I went to court yesterday, regarding the restraining order I applied for against my neighbors daughter. I felt bad in a way for the teen because her “MOTHER” was not present, nor even for support. Some other lady was, and I’m assuming she is with DCFS in some way. The Judge allowed the woman to sit with the Teen, BUT, told the teen she is not representing her and cannot speak for her so don’t look to her for answers.

I knew going in, it could go either way. Not sure what I was expecting, really. The Judge was very good. He was stern, firm and fair. He heard us both out. I presented my facts, and the Judge explained to the teen that she didn’t have the burden of proof like I do. The teen admitted to doing what I accused her of, AND gave a reason, which was absolutely false, so I asked the Judge if I could address her comment. He allowed it.

I explained that I was her mother’s sounding board. Someone she could talk with. Anything I wrote to any social worker, any attorney, was at the request of the Mother, as I am not one to do anything arbitrarily. I told the Judge that I have text messages and Facebook messages from her mother asking me to write her attorney and the girls social worker, so if the teen has an issue with it, she needs to take it up with her MOTHER, not me.

The Judge had asked me if I felt the teen would follow through with her threat. I said absolutely. I told him I had found information about another R/O for harassment case against the teen from 2019 that couldn’t proceed because the teen couldn’t be served as she was in placement. I let the Judge know that the teen also has a now sealed assault case against her that she had been on probation for. He asked if that had been confirmed by the Mother and i said yes, as well as someone at DCFS.

I also told the Judge that I have been getting harassed by this teen for a few years but that this year, specifically since MAY, it had escalated. I told him that being a Mandated Reporter, I had been reporting the teens behavior and NO ONE has done anything about it, not even Mom. I expressed that I felt if nothing is done TODAY, the teen will escalate things more because she would feel she got away with this.

The Judge listened. He ruled that he agreed if nothing was done, things could escalate. He ordered the R/O for 2 years. He explained to the teen that it was a one way order, that she could not contact me in any way and if she violated the order, there will be further consequences. He told her if me or my kids wanted to make peaceful contact with her or her mother, though, we can. Teen blurts out, “they aren’t friends anymore!” Judge said, “ok..” LOL

I got everything I asked for. I drove a copy of the order to the police department immediately after court. It is entered into CARPOS through CLETS. So anywhere I go, even a different city, if she happens to be there, and starts harassing me, the Police can run her name and see there’s a R/O and she can be arrested.

Judge explained to the teen that we all make choices, and there are consequences to our choices. He told her some will be sealed, others will not and will follow her (anyone) the rest of her (their) life. THIS is that situation.R/O will not be sealed and will follow her the rest of her life.

My case was the last case in that courtroom. There were several cases heard before mine, and they were all fascinating!

It was a good day.

TTFN,
