That would be a tough last name for the baby to learn to spell.

Nah - if it's ali's kid it'll be smart enough to do it.

I think the term you seek here is secretary.

That's assuming that the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree. In my case my kids fell so far away from this tree that they are actually intelligent. Go figure? Must get it from their mother.

Bah. Intelligence is way over rated.

So...I think I forgot to mention, somewhere along the way, that I am going down the shore this week. For all of your non-east coast people, that is Jersey-speak for going to the beach
Don't fret, I will be connected and posting here, just not as much (I sound like Matthew now) b/c there are way too many goodies on the Ocean City (NJ) boardwalk that I am going to have to resist and I am going to need motivation not to bag my exercise routine for the week.
If I come out of this weighing the same, I will consider it a success.
So yesterday was spent trying to get my office into some reasonable facimilie of cleanliness and order, I have lots of small ticky-tack nonsense to clean up and then one case that is scheduled for trial next week.
I hate it when people file for divorce at the beginning of the school year, the case always get listed for trial right in the middle of June and this same thing happened to me last year right before I went away. I am not the one trying this case (clearly) but I have to have the case prepped for my boss so she can try it or settle it while I am gone.
She left me instructions to speak with opposing counsel to try to see how much we could resolve prior to Tuesday. Basically this guy told me that b/c he would be trying to settle the case with my boss, that he really didn't think that talking to be would accomplish much.
So now, I have to prep this entire frickin file for trial. I need a trial memo. As of 4 pm Friday, none of this was done.
No trial memo, no prepped file = no job. So here I am at 7 am on Saturday, in my office getting this $#&*@&*%*#(&(! case ready.
I got up at 6, should have dragged my pathetic self to the gym but noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, instead drug my pathetic self to my office. It is my TOM (finally) and I feel like 10lbs of crap stuffed in an 8 lb sack. I was up until 2am 'packing' (using that term loosely) and am currently riding on 4 hours of sleep, which pretty much qualifies as a long nap, IMO. I am going to be coming home to a husband who is already pissed that I had to work and will be more pissed that he had to do a lot of the packing. Great way to start a trip, right?
I have dubbed my client Mr. I Don't Want to Pay Alimony, I have him pegged at a 6-8 year Limited Duration alimony term at the rate of 250/week - I am so glad I do not have to suffer through his 'education' next week as my boss tries to tell him that is what he is going to have to pay.
Instead, I get to look through tax returns, etc and get this pile o' crap together and hope that my staff doesn't screw it up in the copying/filing process...
I already want to go back to bed...
I will miss all of you but like I said, I will be around b/c I need the accountability or otherwise I am going to stuff my stupid face and come back looking like my 'befores' - no need for that now is there?

Check in isn't until 2 - it is a little more than an hour's drive from my house - didn't occur to me until I am typing this that I should probably take the back way as the ACE and GSP are going to be just helling going into town...
I got most of my clothes packed but still have to pack Abby...and get the 'house' stuff together...omg thinking about it just makes me more tired...hopefully I won't be here forever but it is going to be hours at least.
Funny thing, as I was leaving this morning I told my husband goodbye, he cracks one eye at me and says, 'you're going like that?' So I ask him what's wrong with what I had on (which was a pair of grey gym shorts and a Notre Dame tshirt) and he says, 'well didn't you sleep in those shorts?'...'yes...is there a problem with that?'
Seriously, this isn't a fashion show here, I'm getting changed later...I can't see what the problem is...at least I put a bra on, some days I wouldn't have even done that, lol...
Man oh man I need sleep...

He was up with me for part of it...making a list of what we needed...lol
My guess is that he is up by now, our daughter is an early riser. Ideally it wouldn't fly in my house either, however, that could be a thread unto itself.
He is driving but only b/c I have a Toyota Solara which is a teeny two door car and he has a pickup truck. When we both had cars, I drove. Hopefully I can get some sleep, we'll see.
