Well, monday actually was tolarable. The opposing lawyer didnt ask me a fourth of the things that my lawyer prepped me for, as a matter of fact, he seemed very outgunned and unprepared. I am hoping that's good for me. Seems like they once again found the guy that caused the car wreck, he's only bailed twice now. But my lawyers got ahold of him today. I cant wait to hear how that went. I am hoping they ate his lunch. It was a shock to me, after only an hour and a half, the other lawyer says, "well, we;re done. That's it." I was shocked, and so was my lawyer. He said I did well, and seems to think that Allstate will be putting money on the table trying to settle. That would be awesome.
My lawyer also contacted WM whom was the person that took me into the ER the night of the wreck, and asked him for the details of the ER visit. I got a bit of a run down on the conversation, and it just varified the things that I had said already. In addition, my lawyer asked WM to find out about the wrecker driver that towed off Mr. Can'tdriveforshit's car, and get contact information. WM drives a wrecker for his shop now, so he as able to track down the other driver in a matter of hours. Work number, cellphone, and contact information.
As MW's boss and my lawyer have been working on part of the background information together, I did find out that after the deposition on Mr. Nodrivingidiot, that my lawyer was in a good mood. I'm hoping thats good for me. We had my car repaired at WM's shop, and the boss and my lawyer have been working together on other cases for a while now, with alot of success. The boss guy is someone that my brother worked for at one time, and I have known, as an aquantance for a while.
So in the morning I am hoping to call my lawyer and see how things went today. I'm just dying to know. I've been told that I will be provided with a transcript of the depositions at some point. Hmmmmm...wonder if I offered to pay extra I could get it rushed to me. LOL. I so want to know the other side of this story.
At the scene, I was so messed up, that I couldn't concentrate very well. But I do remember the other driver and his passanger speaking to each other in spanish, and I stated that in the deposition. That was good, and my lawyer wanted to work on that, says it makes them look like they had something to hide. I dont know, I dont speak spanish. But getting that tow truck driver's contact information, and getting his name on the wittness list, it's some kind of head game, pressure tactic to make the other driver admit to things. So, maybe that is good. I duuno.
In other news, the kiddos got to see santa tonight. We had fun, ate pizza, and got some pictures taken up at the church. They looked so darling, it was very cute. The boy even smiled all pretty for his picture. Momma was very pleased. They each recieved a stocking of goodies and a stuffed animal.
The girl child decided to take hers to a little boy that is having a bad time. His dad is a jail, mom is entering rehab in the morning, and he just got placed with relatives (our good friends across the street, another cop family, and the girl's best friend's family), he would not be having a Christmas, but the friends are now scrambling to make it Christmas for him too. The girl child's idea, and I am so proud of her for being so thoughtful. We asked granny to make the little boy, age 6, a christmas stocking with some goodies in it. How screwed up, 5 days before chirstmas, and getting your world turned upside down. But at least the H-family is doing everything they can to try and help the little guy. T watched our kids today while we went shopping, and our boy and the new addition played video games together all afternoon. So it went well, as well as could be expected with messed up mom stopping by to disrupt the little guy every time T turned around.
Thank God for small miricles. Our kids have it so much better than they even understand. I'd like to keep it that way. They'll figure it out someday and be thankful for the life we are giving them. (I hope!)
well, that's about it for now. I'll try and give an update when I know more about the lawyer.

roller coster rides and other fun things.....
I forgot yesterday, but we put up christmas lights. my pretty white icicle lights were not working, only 3 out of the 6 strands were lighting up, so I went up to wally world to buy some new ones..... only one set in the whole damned store. I get home, and they are the blinking lights... the other sets dont blink. ACK!!!!! Soooooo back to wal mart, now to buy six whole new sets of the multi color icicle lights. But we got them on the house. They are not what I wanted, but the kids are happy that we are now somewhat decorated for the holiday. We got the tree up a day or two ago, and set out the christmas candy holders. All that good jazz. Now to just get into the mood....hahahahaha
well, I had to go into houston today. OMG!! I hate traffic. I hate not knowing where I am or how to get around. It was foggy, so we had to leave O Towne early. A great family friend, almost aunt, went with me for moral support. We got into town in time to have lunch with her gentalman friend, and then get to the lawyers office. Auto accident on the 610 loop of course, so 30 minutes late, we get to the office. The lawyer was another 30 minutes behind us. And then four hours of intense prepping later. He basically grilled and roasted me over open flames, so I would know what to expect from the opposing lawyers. But he at least told me the best way to answer questions without stepping over my own feet so to speak. Lawyers have got to be the scum of the earth. He was actually being nice to me. I am soooo dreadding Monday, when I have to answer this stuff in front of the 'enemy.' They puposefully try to make you look like an lying idiot, nothing but corprate whores. freaking lawyers. So after 5 pm and my little girls christmas program starts at 6, can you say screwed? My mom had to get the kids home from school and get them ready for the program. G was working, and couldnt get off of patrol until 6 sharp. So my beautiful little girl had her first band concert without me. I hate myself. I missed her concert for some stupid car wreck. She's doing okay with it, it all went well, and G got there in time to see most of it. But I missed the whole thing.
I dont drink, but on the way into O towne, I stopped and purchased myself some mudslides and sour apple schappes. I intend to get wasted tonight. my nerves are shot and I am so freaking depressed. It really is a good thing they these kids need me. I am in tears and I feel like the whole world is a bad place, and people are just hurtful and mean. I know it sounds childish, but its the best way I know to express the way I feel right now. Those are the only words I know that even half way cover it.
Then I get on the net, and the patho teach has given me an A for her course. An A.. guess all the extra credit work paid off.... but I really didnt expect this.
I just..... my head hurts. on one hand I would love to just take a long walk off a short peir, on the other, I just am incredibly pleased. I passed and not only passed, I got an A.
Let's see.... laible? Manic depressive..... need more sleep and less stress. I want a VACTION.
out.

Survivor has nothing on me, dude.
Well, I know its been a while. my life is insane...I am scheduling the nervous breakdown for something in 2010, when I have time. (yeah right, like I am ever going to have time.)
Mommy dearest had yet another TIA, another trip to the ER just to have it resolve itself once her blood pressure was undercontrol again. Turns out she was only taking her HTN med when she felt bad. Can I strangle this woman now? Ya know, patient teaching to a 60-something year old stuborn jackass, is about useless, might as well talk to the wall for all the good it is gonna do ya. So the CNP RN, tells her to take her meds as prescribed, and sends her home to follow up with her family doctor. BTW, she promptly ignored him and continues to do things 'her way.' The medcine makes me feel draggy, and it makes my blood pressure too low for me. What part of "take your medications as prescribed," do you not understand?
Guess I should just keep my mouth shut. The sooner she sends herself over the edge, the sooner I can move back to Alaska, and get out of this hell hole in Texas. I have to wait her out. The way she is going, not taking her meds, getting psycho on the phone with bill collectors, and in general nuerotically trying to run everyone else's life, the faster she will send herself into a major CVA. My only hope, do it right the first time, go for fatal and leave the vegatative state alone. BTW, yes, she is a DNR. I refuse to make her go through a code. She may be the worlds biggest bitch, but she is my mom, and I will not allow her to be tortured. She doesnt want any heroic measures, fine with me. My brothers and sister are the ones that dont get it. Luckily I have already explained, and mom has made her wishes known to dad, so the sib's can stick it in their ears.
Topic change.
Tomorrow I met with my lawyer to go over the facts of my case, and get ready for the deposition. Can you say nausea and vomitting from stress induced ulcers?
As for the last two classes before upward mobility: Health assessment B, Pathophsy B.
Guess now all I have to do is to take the entrence exam and wait for my application packet to be finialized. LOL I'm not under any stress........
(dont let the men in the white coats take me away. They're coming to take me away. ) Anyone else here remember Doctor Dementoe? I miss that program. Okay so I have a few loose screws, doesnt everyone?
time for another smoke, then bed. I have to drive into Houston tomorrow..... I hate that town. Too many ppl and too much traffic. Did I mention that I miss Alaska?
laterz all.
