I haven't written in days - totally unlike me. I have several things swirling in my head. Thoughts about my mother, about some books I finished, and other things. Nothing concrete enough or ready to come out in words that are understandable.
I was reading some blogs - when I get stuck like this, I tend to branch out and follow links from other blogs. It's a great way to find some incredible new blogs (new to me at least).
Tamara at Desire to Heal comments on some blogs I read. I found my way over to her blog today and was incredibly struck by today's post - A Letter of Love to Abuse Survivors. I encourage you to check it out.
Rindy at Experiencing the Journey shared some audio clips of some great talks she gave. You can find the links here. I would especially urge you to check out "This is All I've Got." Rindy will say she's not a great speaker - I'd respectfully disagree. I think she's awesome!
If you want a reason to say "awwww" then check out I also Live on a Farm. The last several posts feature Winston the pig. My daughter loves Winston. She asks to watch his videos and see his pictures all the time. It's great for those moments when your children come up as you are blogging and want to "participate." My daughter now considers checking in on Winston her own blogging experience!
If you are in the mood for something light-hearted, it is always great to check out Nick's Monday posts - always full of jokes on Mondays.
Hope everyone has a happy Monday. I'm off to court for calendar call which will determine the outcome of my week!

Enola,
Thanks for the "shout out" and there you go proving my point about what a generous group you all are! Thanks for the links to the other blogs - I am on my way to check them out. Hope the court thing determines you have a wonderful week.
Take care,
Tamara
I haven't been to I Also Live On A Farm in forever. I remembered the name right off. Thank you for that re-connect.
I can personally attest to Tamara's blog being quality, however, I've neglected her terribly. I need to visit her more often.

me again - for some reason from your last entry I thought you were on bed rest or something. I wasn't sure you'd be blogging for a bit. I thought maybe you were doing some visiting and taking it easy during your pregnancy. I had no idea you were just quiet.
I shall visit again to see what's been on your mind....

Hi Enola; can you explain the calendar call thingy for me?
Oh and thanks for the links - I will definately take a blurf!
Austin - not bed rest. Just busy and thinking. I have a T appt tomorrow and sure to have lots of stuff to write about then. I have a "general junk" post for tomorrow too.
Kahless - "Calendar call" is when the judge calls all the cases that could potentially be reached during a week of court. The attorneys announce whether they are ready or not, how long the case will take and any pending motions. Then the judge announces which cases will be reached and which ones will start when. Typically about 20 cases are listed, oldest to newest. If case #1 takes all week. the others are all continued to the next trial term (could be weeks or months away). If case #1 will take 3 days, then we go down the list until we find a case that will take 1-2 days. I've been #2 on the list and not been reached. I've been #16 on the list and ben called to trial. So we all get prepared for all our cases and then play the waiting game. It keeps us on our toes for sure.
Today my first case (#8 on list) settled. My second case is set to start on Thursday (#15 on list) and I was told not to plan on the other case (#16) being reached this week.
Thank you!! I'm working on it and I appreciate the encouragement!!
Thank you, Enola, for mentioning my Monday Jokes!
