Making the Tough Choices

“Mom, will you play a game with me?” The voice was muffled from his distance outside my bedroom and the sleep still clouding my ears. I slowly rolled over and checked the clock: ten minutes until my alarm would go off. I think I grunted in response but my feet found the cool hardwood floor […]

Having it All Part 757

If you’ve been here a while, you know I’m divorced. You also probably know I’m a lawyer. And a mom. What you may or may not know is that my closest family is my ex-husband’s parents and they live almost two hours away. I have no live-in nanny. I have no live-in anything except two […]

Depositions are a lot like parenting…

From almost day one as an attorney, I’ve spent a ton of time in depositions. Some of them I take, some of them I sit through as this or that attorney peppers my client with questions, but all of them have created in me this internal script of how to depose a client. I remember […]

The Best of Both Worlds

I have no idea what it’s like to be a stay at home mom. I have no idea and honestly, I don’t think I could handle the stress and constant, CONSTANT attention from a four year old. But what I do know is what it’s like to be a work outside the home mom. And […]

Vacation, All I Ever Wanted…

I can’t remember the last time I felt this rested and relaxed. I haven’t been “forcing” myself to write on this blog, I haven’t been pushing myself to do more and be more at work, I haven’t been burning the candle at both ends in any realm of my life and MY GOD it feels […]

Kid-Free and Loathing It

Know what I hate about “kid-free” weekends? The fact that I inevitably end up right where I am 75% of my week anyway… at the office. If I’m being honest, I kind of appreciate having J around to keep me from being here all the time because I know if I were just a single […]

On Blogging (and stuff)

It feels like it’s been ages since I sat down and stared at the black and gray world of WordPress and my little slice of the Internet… even though it’s only been about a week. Funny that seven days can feel like an eternity… guess that’s how the whole creation story makes the most sense? […]

Framing Properly

My office is littered with frames. I have a framed legal fraternity initiation seal, a framed law school diploma, a framed Order of the Barristers certificate and a framed admission to practice law in the State of Georgia. There’s a framed award from my time in Moot Court, a framed “Who’s Who” certificate, a framed […]

Discontent Lives Here

I worked a long day yesterday. It was a hard day, full of disappointments and set backs, and I left the office in a really lousy mood. I got to daycare only to be handed two bags of dirty clothes and a conversation with his teacher about what we needed to do to work on […]

Thursday Rant and Ramble

One of the hardest things for me, as a female attorney, is the expectation of bitchiness. I do not say that tongue in cheek… I mean it seriously. When people find out that you are an attorney, as a woman, they primarily think you are a ball busting, man hating, pant suit wearing, she devil […]
