Life is such a roller coaster... High as a kite one minute and hittin' rock bottom the next... It looks like I will be getting my dream car within the next month. I can't wait. I am so excited. I have always wanted a jeep, and after driving Dawn and Darrell's year before last when we were in the Outer Banks, I am totally been jonesing for one of my own. So when I found out I was getting one, I was walking on air... My web design business is booming, I've gotten a few calls for my photography, school is almost out... Life couldn't be better... Then, the asshole exhusband strikes again! He hasn't paid child support in two months so I emailed to find out what's up. He emails back and tells me he isn't planning on paying anymore. Asshole. So I am stressing over this because it's that money I use to pay the after-school program for the two youngest kids. The only good thing is that's over in a month. So, Sierra is sitting there while I am stressing, and I look at her and say "don't ever marry a bum." Her answer: "Darn! And that's just the kind of guy I was looking for. Come on, Mom, even I'm smarter than that."So, this conversation begs the answer, is my 12 year old smarter than me? Me, who holds degrees, who is more than twice her age, who has ten times the amount of life experience than her... And if so, why didn't someone just shoot me about 20 years ago? And why isn't that Dawinian theory about survival of the fittest working out here? I mean, I'm still kicking, and my ex-husband is obviously still kicking... Can someone rethink that theory for me and get back to me on that? I am off to live another day on my roller coaster of life...
