Anyone know a good lawyer? Are there good lawyers? Maybe I should ask for "bad" lawyer?
Anyway, looking for one based in Washtenaw County? My friend from the previous post inquired. My divorce lawyer retired, but he was good. Really good. Or was that really bad? hehe

double trouble
What would you do if your friend's abusive husband doubled the life insurance on her?
He is crazy. He's going to make it seem like an accident.
She needs to leave and get far away.
He is controlling, abusive, obsessed. He is really sick.
I'm not sure how she found out about the life insurance, but she's just not safe there.
I truly believe that he would kill her before letting her get a divorce.
He's all about how something looks. He has no substance.

Hannah's Narrative Poem
Hannah needed to write a narrative poem for English class - due tomorrow. I'm so proud of her! Here it is...(If you'd like an oral rendition, I'd be happy to give a reading as her proxy.)
Mother is on the phone.
Grandmother is there.
Mother is crying.
The girl is where?
The girl is upstairs
In her parents’ room.
Grandmother finds the girl.
In a sad gloom.
The girl wants her blanket.
She tells her Grandmother.
Grandmother says to wait.
Not to bother.
Grandmother doesn’t understand.
The girl was just making it up
To go and see her Mother.
Just to see what’s up.
Again, the girl said
She wanted her blanket;
That Grandmother could stay there,
And the girl would go and get it.
Grandma went instead.
And the girl followed.
Where she learned
Her Dad is dead.
Not really dead,
But only gone.
No longer coming home,
But out with Dawn.
Years passed
and time flew.
Life is better!
Who knew?
And the really funny thing is...when she was in the middle of the 7th stanza, she was trying to think of something that rhymed with gone. So, we started rhyming, and she said, Dawn. I burst out laughing. Dawn really is the name of the proverbial other woman! I am still laughing!

thankful for...because...
I am thankful for...
my Children, because they are who they are. They make me proud and bring me unbelievable joy.
my Mother, because she is strength and honor and love.
my Father, because he was not perfect, but his heart and mind persevered until his body could not.
my Siblings, because even when they are too near or too far away, they make me feel loved and safe, wrapped inside a special cocoon.
my Divorce, because if it hadn't happened, I would be at my in-laws right now, and it's snowing there...lake-effect snow. Snow...bad.
my Chelsea Friends, because each one has a special talent and goodness that she brings into the world that makes it shine for the better.
my Work Friends, because how could we all get through 5 days a week without the laughter and support.
my Furnace Man, because he's coming over to service my furnace tomorrow (literally, not symbolically).
the Meijer on Jackson Rd., because they had 2 planters, and I finally, finally re-potted most of the plants in my house. (Probably not the best time of year to do so, but I got it DONE.)
my Dog, because he gives me unconditional love, and I have no idea what I will do with him tomorrow when the furnace man shows up. Come to think of it...what will I do with my children?
