My breaking heart ...
Been crying on and off since my last blog earlier today. That gut wretching wail that sends your heart rate into overdrive.
Alien and I are at odds big time. She's got it up her butt that the grass is greener over at Bubba's house and refuses to come home. Period. Nor will she discuss with me in an adult manner what it is that is bugging her. I have an idea - she's hated this house since the day we moved into it 14 years ago. Other than that what we've talked about in the past I *thought* was resolved.
I tried to talk reasonably to her and her father over the phone to no avail. I went to the cop shop, but that was a waste of time. They say as a 17 year old she can pretty much do what she wants, regardless of the court papers saying she's in my custody until she reaches the age of 18.
I'm an emotional basket case right now.
I asked that she come tomorrow after school so we can talk this out. No luck. She only wants to come get her stuff.
I'm devastated.
This is the daughter that I *thought* we could talk about anything with each other. I guess I was wrong.
I don't know what to do here. I'm numb. Do I just let her go to live there, and probably only see her only on the weekends? Or do I fight this in court? He's not a good parent, but I've blogged about that in the past. The courts long ago determined it's in her best interest to stay with me, that's why they awarded me sole physical custody.
Married Son took me to the cop shop, I am in no condition to drive right now. Talking to him afterward, he says I should just let her go live with Bubba and pray for the best. He says she'll realize eventually what a mistake she made. I'm inclined to agree with him.
But it still hurts like hell.

Ummm, It's Sunday today, riiiight?
Still on the *I don't know what day it is* thing.
Had a meeting with my Pro Comm group today. Pro Comm, that class I'm having so much trouble in. Not because I don't know how to communicate - I do. It's the teacher that's the problem. Anyway, meeting went well, we have a better idea what our final project is about, and our parts in it now. LOL.
Have I said how much I hate group projects??
And all four of my classes have group things going on. Figures, eh? LOL.
I have five classes next term. I wonder how many of those will feature group activities. ::groan::
Let's see ... what else?
Things have gotten pretty desperate around here lately. Financially that is. I've cut expenses down past the bare bones, I can't cut anything else out. Yeah, internet I suppose ... no not really. It's my only luxury. Besides ... Single Son needs it for his work (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it). Soooooo ... I decided to push ahead MY business by about a year and open it in February 2009 instead of Summer of 2010 after I have my degree in Business Management. My one Prof, the one who teaches Small Business and Entrepreneurship class has been a godsend to me. Consulting with me, guiding me and generally helping me with the things that I've not yet had classes for (business accounting, retail theory, marketing, web design, web security, etc). Now you see why I wanted to wait until I had my degree to even "announce" my business venture. Let alone actually persue it. Mr. P, like I said, has been a godsend to me lately. The only thing he wants in return is that after I get my degree and have the business up and running I come and give a 30 minute guest speech on starting and owning a small business to his class. Hell ya!! It's a deal!
So, why wait until February to start this? I need start up money. My anticipated tuition refund will cover what I still need for my start up costs, but that's not in my hands until February. So ... that's my plan.
And what will the business be? I've spoken of *Elsie's Attic* before ... I will be offering gifts and decor for the home and office. Included will be a gift line for men and children, and possibly for the pampered pet, too. This will be an e-commerce business.
There will also be special sales and discounts for my Multiply friends. I've even set up a Multiply blog under the name *Elsies Attic* where I'll offer those discounts, special sales, highlighted merchandise and more. I'll be joining Multiply's "Market" as soon as Elsie's Attic is officially open for business.
Stay tuned for information about the store and webpage.
I'm actually getting very excited about this!!
I'm not sure how it'll effect working with Married Son and his pilot driving company yet. I'm trying to work out those details. He seems okay with the fact that Mom may not be able to help him on the road as a driver - but I will still do the managerial work for him.
And Single Son has asked that I help him with his business dreams of opening an e-commerce business that sells security and self defense products.
My degree in Business Management/Entrepreneurship is gonna go a long way, eh?
So that's been my week. Working hard at homework and working overtime at getting Elsie's Attic all nice and legal to open in February. And of course, helping my sons with their business dreams.

What day is it?
It's so I've forgotten what day it is anymore! If it's Professional Communications class tonight than it must be ... ummmmmm ... Thursday!! That's it, it's Thursday.
Haven't had a ten thoughts tuesday in a while. Don't have ten thoughts left in me. And the gross grub, well, I ended that on Halloween weekend. Not for lack of recipes, but honestly, I got tired of it. I needed a break.
And I need a break from homework, too. Riiiiight, that won't happen. Not for a while. Five or six weeks. I lost track.
I registered for next semester yesterday. Grrrrrrr. FIVE classes. I had to take that many to get the minimum credits that I need per semester to keep my full Pell Grant. Not even a nice mixture of hard and easy classes. They're all hard classes. Lots of homework, I'm betting. Well, besides my PE class - stress management. It was either that or "bowling". I'm not getting into the more conventional PE classes. I just can't see my arse doing them, can you? Helen, stop laughing ... I know, I should have seen if they had some sort of walking class. Gawd knows I could stand to build up those leg muscles again. And Chicago just proved to me how out of shape I really am!! But I'm proud to say (with a few breaks along the way to rest) I did it!! I walked all over Chicago! Hehe ...
Not a while lot else going on. I hear Grandson downstairs, they must have come back. They've been hanging around here a lot lately. Not sure why, other than I have internet and Married Son doesn't have internet at his house right now. Don't get me wrong, I love when they come over, but not when it gets in the way of the mounds of homework I need to get done!! And it's suffered this week terribly. Rough draft due today, and I'm not done with it. I'll just have to see if the prof. will let me email it to him by the end of the weekend. Depends on his mood - he's the one I've blogged about. The rude jerk. Disorganized. His mood will decide whether he marks me half off points or allows me to email it back to him. I'm figuring if I *forget* my USB drive (with the assignment on it) then he'll hopefully be nice. Shhhhhh ... don't tell him I intentionally forgot the drive. LOL!
Well, guess I need to head on outta here.

Monday ...
Sorry, no catchy title for this blog!!
Going to Chicago and meeting Helen was awesome!! Got to meet a friend of hers, Mike, too. Talk about a character - but in a good way, I assure you.
The train ride out was alright. I'd never been on a train before, so it was a novelty for sure. Had a seat to myself, so I was able to sleep part of the way. The ride back was a different story - crowded. Shared a seat with some really anti-social witch (but that's a story for later, LOL).
OMG!! Did we have fun. Walked everywhere. Well, minus one bus that they agreed to take because I was definitely feeling all that walking. And what an experience that bus was. Some dude had blocked the road so the bus driver got out to find the driver so he could move his vehicle. As soon as we were back under way a taxi cut off the bus causing the bus driver to slam on the brakes to avoid a collision. So much excitement and ONLY two dollars for the ride of our lives. LOL!
We went to Navy Pier ... saw The Bean ... followed the road to lights that had attracted Helen's attention (turns out it was a two story McDonald's) ... went shopping at a bunch of different store ... and got to see Chicago up close and personal. Photos in my photo album.
And up close was right. Man, I've never played in so much traffic before. Drivers there are nuts!! Makes Detroiters almost look *normal* ... better watch your arse crossing the street. Very few drivers gave heed to the "walk" signs ... taxi drivers especially.
The weather was great - well in my book. Walked around with no jacket on ... or tied around my waste. Poor Helen on the other hand was chilled to the bone the whole time. And that's why we walked soooooo much ... keep moving so you didn't feel the chilly Chicago winds. I just wish it had snowed for Helen's sake. Let her experience a bit of good ol' snow. But it wasn't meant to be.
Left Helen and Mike on Thursday evening to head back to Michigan. Had a test on Friday there was just no getting out of (drats). I would have loved an extra day with them!!
I'm still feeling all the walking in my lower legs. Had to break down on Friday and get me a tube of BenGay. Shhhhhhhhhhhh ... don't say it. I know I'm getting OLD!
Well ... two big PowerPoint projects due this week and I'm not done yet. Along with a rough draft for a 8 to 12 page paper and it's going to be a long next few days in front of the computer getting this stuff all done.
I uploaded photos to my photo album. I'll title them all when I can.
