FamilyLogan turned 10 today and I went over to my ex’s to do the Mommy Scrum there, and my God, he’s huge. He just can’t climb all over either of us anymore. But it sure was cute seeing him with a chocolate donut mustache from his special birthday breakfast, guaranteed to make him crash in, oh, about ninety minutes. They brought some for the whole class, so all I can say to the teacher is, good luck with that.
In other news, I was just telling my mom that I had fifteen dollars in my bank account (because yesterday totaled about a hundred in bounced check charges), the IRS is holding thousands of dollars in refunds and economic stimulus payments because they haven’t yet sorted out the fact that I DID file returns in 2005, and they don’t answer the phones. After you spend ten minutes punching in numbers and getting through menus, they say that the call volume is too high, try again later. This has been going on for WEEKS.
Phil’s coming back home tonight, but my ex will be gone til Wednesday, and mom is going to Mexico for a week. Over Mother’s Day. I’m a little down.

Awwww, so sorry about that. When it rains, it pours doesn’t it? If it’s any consolation, I’m having a bad day too. The phrase “Dude!! Hold still while I go get my baseball bat!!!” is helping a little.
Sending virtual hugs and hope things brighten up a lot.

Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope those checks start rolling in for you soon.
The Mommy Scrum ended here long ago. This is my first Mother’s day that Todd (age 17) did his own shopping. He actually picked out a very nice candle for me. Elizabeth is still sleeping and Emily is living in NYC so I have to wait until she comes home for the 4th of July. Now I’m off to see my mother.
Have a great day.
