We're off the see the wizard....


Today, I am wrapping Sassy in a cloak of courage as we take the next step in "learning about life". We will make our way to the courthouse, and she will need to be brave. If you have a moment to send some thoughts our way – it would be greatly appreciated.


In attempt to lighten the moment, a few pearls from the kindergarten class.


“I don’t need a coat. I have body heat.”


“I don’t want to be a rich person when I grow up. I want to be a teacher!”


“My dog Ginger gave my brother’s Sponge Bob pillow the weiner torture…..so she threw it out.”

    I hope that things go smoothly for you and Sassy today. Watch out for any stray dogs, or not so stray, giving out the weiner torture.

    Good luck to you and Sassy! I have teenage daughters and can't imagine what she is going through. I am so happy she was so open and comfortable telling you. I only wish my kids will do the same if something ever happened. Sassy is so lucky to have you as a Mom!

    You should prepare by watching all the movies made from John Grisham novels, and then the Charles Bronson Death Wish series. That should get you pumped up for legal drama and retribution. Don't go soft on the asshole, I guess that's my point.

    Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving!

    The first time I had to got o court with my soon to be 20 year old was easy until she stood up in front of the judge. and I was sitting in the front row loosing it. The judge started reprimanding her for making me cry. Hope you get the same results

    1. Sending all kinds of good thoughts for Sassy.

    2. "I don't want to be rich, I want to be a teacher." Heh. Astounding grasp of reality for a kindergartener.

    3. I don't want to know what the weiner torture is. The less I know about the weiner torture, the happier my life will be. The mere words "weiner torture" strike fear in the hearts of men everywhere. So please, let's never speak of this again. Seriously.

    How am I supposed to leave a serious comment after "wiener torture?" (By the way, Larry wiener tortures me all the freaking time! Sheesh.)

    Now Sassy is going to be fine because she has the impenetrable wall of family and blog love surrounding her. Being brave is important - and a good thing to learn as early in life as possible. She's going to stand tall and be strong and fight the fight and win. And you will too. And I love you both. And I'll be standing right next to you in that court room. Count on it.

    I am so happy that you and your daughter are getting this taken care of. This is a huge life lesson. I had a stalker (old boyfriend) for a very long time when I was younger. It is really aggravating when people don't listen to you about your fear. The part about "it's not your fault is so important! I am saving all of your posts and suggestion for my daughters to read. I don't want to wait until after they experience something like this.
    Thanks so much for sharing your experience.

    The big turkey in power,
    In the eleventh hour,
    Gave them pardon, along with the pies.
