Hey all! Let me say right up front that I love my job. Lately, I just don't feel like working. My clients' problems are all annoying (if they weren't annoying they wouldn't have needed to hire an attorney to begin, though, right?). My H is traveling on business again this week. I've got a new sponsee in my life (in the NA 12-step program) and she calls me everyday - which she's suppposed to - and I love her already and I just know she'll be fine, but I spend like an hour a day on the phone with her trying to talk her off the ledge - this is normal in the early days of getting "clean and sober." My kids want to watch the Olympics instead of doing homework, they've got some really stupid assignments. I have to beg and plead with my DS8 to do his homework because he absolutely couldn't care less. He's a real bright kid, just won't do his homework until he's backed into a corner. Somehow the little joker managed to get 4 A's and 2 B's on his report card. We just had a ton of snow here in the northeast, which I hate. Fortunately it's supposed to go up to like 50 degrees by tomorrow so it should melt away. I went to the pharmacy at lunchtime to get some 'scripts refilled and couldn't get a freakin' parking space because a) the lot was still pretty snow-covered, and b) last minute Valentine's day shopping.

My H sent me a text message before saying "hi Valentine." I don't get it. He's making such a huge deal out of Valentines Day and I didn't even get him a card.

I have some clients coming in this afternoon to sign their Wills and I can't figure out how to load the stupid will paper into the printer. I know, this is why we have secretaries, but frankly, mine isn't too on top of her game if you know what I mean. But she's a sweet girl and I love her, so I never complaint, just do it myself. There are other things she's good at.

Everything seems like a monumental task today. I have to be in court tomorrow morning; fortunately, at least I have that situation under control. Sigh. Looking for some energy and positive thoughts. Everyone in my life seems to be draining me dry.

Love, Mo.

Did you get the will paper loaded in? I hope you did and your day is looking up.

I am with you on valentines day. What is the big deal. But given my situation, I guess I would be that way. I will be glad when bedtime comes today. If you find some motivation, send some my way and I will do the same for you, how does that sound?

The Atty. I used to work for loved courtroom time the best, is that you too? Good Luck tommorrow too.
