Getting in the book is truly recognition of the unique nature of your work, and the talent you possess. If Santhony delivers on that drink we will all tip our own glasses as a well deserved toast in your honor.
You know, I have my own talent. I am working round the clock on inventing my People Shrinking machine. After I test it you must make me a really small poolboy uniform. I mostly want to perfect my invention so it can focus on individual body parts. Then I think we could reduce M's head to a size befitting his persona. I guess that might also greatly reduce the size of his brain, but it's not like anyone would notice.
Think of any extra funds you arrange for him to provide, as a second job. Getting the agreement and then getting him to pay might seem more like a second career, but it would be fair and appropriate in the end.
Speaking of the "end", I have an idea where we could shove his teeny wittle head after I find out how to shrink it.
That is so wonderful. AND you are so worthy! Does this mean the lovely mini knit shawl I bought from you has now doubled in value - LOL! I AM a lucky girl!
I read your post the other night but it was locked by then. I have been thinking about you so much. You stick to your guns babe. You are doing what you were meant to do. And you are the mom of multiples. You are a great mom and need to be there for them growing up. Don't expect someone with his head stuck firmly in his butt to have a clue about parenthood. I already knew he didn't get it.
Your days to earn more will come but you doing get a do over at parenting. It really does pass quite quickly.
Ya know, we only "get it" more and more over time and as we are ready to "get it". You just got a lot all at once.
I can't imagine any family court judge would allow him to give you less. Hold out Althea. I have a good feeling it will all work out.
Now, where can I buy a copy. I want one. And did you know that the Ripley's museum is right in my hometown???
Althea, that totally rocks!!!!!! You will be WAY more famous than your ex could ever dream of being!!!!!!
As for the financials, good job following through on those calculations. I like the idea of sending them straight to his attorney with the documentation - the attorney will quickly see that there's no point in pursuing it.
since I'm in a "I deserve to be loved and adored and served peeled grapes" kind of mood, howz about I summon Santhony to mix us up his new, yet to be invented "Queen of the World."
It will be savory and heady and make us swoon with passion and delight.
Ooooooooeeeeee, I'd like one of those too, please!!!!
Althea, your work is awesome and congrats on the book and the unanny!!!
Ellie showed me your work when I was on the "DB Girls trip" in San Diego and I was totally amazed.
