OMG, she's ADORABLE! Happy Birthday, Smoodge! I'm so happy you're here, if only to keep your mama sane. I know she loves you like crazy and I want to tell you that you're a very lucky girl to have her in your life. She's pretty great. Take my word for it, I've known her for 10 years. In other words, DUDE. 10 YEARS!
Today is the first day of four that The Smoodge has visitation with her dad. Well, potentially four. Until she turns three, we have an interesting visitation schedule. For the last two years, he gets her on his days off, from 7:30am until 5pm. The exception of that is the weekends, which he only gets the first weekend he's off in the month. Once she turns two, he gets one 24 hour period with her a month, and when she's two and a half, he gets one 48 hour period with her a month. Once she turns three, we'll go to standard visitation. To make it weirder, his schedule is one where he works five days, with four days off, then five more days, with four days off, then SIX days, then four days off, repeat. I'll give you a minute to do that math. All caught up? Fantastic, let's move on. The Smoodge turns 2 next month. Which means as of this moment, no overnights. Next month? One overnight. This month? None. November? One. October? None. Right now-....okay...
The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind of epic proportions. And of all the things there are to tell, and do, and unload about, I'm having a hard time figuring out where to even begin with it all. Or where to (figuratively) go from here. I'm not entirely comfortable expressing myself about some of the things that are happening because it's not over yet, and to be honest there is really nothing I can write that would or could help the situation at all. So for the time being, the important thing to know is this: I'm rewriting my resume. And I have a mandatory five day weekend in which to do it. How's that a firebomb of words that just about makes your head want to explode? Oh no wait. That's not your head. That's mine. How the hell am I supposed to update my resume while THAT'S going on? So I'm just staring at this open document trying to just even figure out what address to put at the top. I thought that maybe by stopping by here for a quick ...
One of the girls I work with recently showed me the resume I'm about to share with all of you. I couldn't keep this to myself, it was just too...much. What frightens me is that the resume was in response to a job posting for a sales repat a college business center. College. The future of this country. And without further ado....
