I went to visit the girls today at summer school. Linnea is in "Math Intervention" (yes. the class is called "Math Intervention." you would think it's for kids addicted to math. i will talk about that in a different post, then come back and link it.) and Stella is taking a dance class. No. It is not called "Dance Intervention." At least I don't think it is.
Anyway, I was driving from the east side, over by UWGB, and I was coming up to a stop light. The light was red so I started to slow down. As I got closer, I realized the light was not red but it was green and it was green the whole time. I am slightly color blind but I can tell the difference between red and green (please don't point to something and say "what color is this?").
It made me think about perception. "What are you waiting for?" said the green light. I have waited to long to do something like this, just for me. I really like that some people read this, but I don't need you to. I don't. And I don't care if you are offended by me not caring. I'm not even going to ask you if that makes sense or is okay. Watch Oprah's 2013 Harvard Commencement Speech you'll get what I mean, or don't. I don't care.
Back to the Red Light/Green Light and the crazy new development. I got a letter from Brown County Family Court Commissioner, Phoebe A. Mix (list of all of them) and in it was a copy of a letter from my ex that states her wish to withdraw her petition to modify placement of the girls. This petition asked for no time for me during summer, no over nights on school nights, and supervised visits. I have mentioned this to other people and they alluded that I would have to have multiple felons, be a drug dealer and/or addict, and have multiple cats. Okay, I made up the felon part. It is stopped for now. I do not think this blog had anything to do with it.
It was an absurd petition aside from the fact that I want to be in their lives. I feel horrible for kids who don't have a parent or a mentor who can help guide them through life. The fact that the court system even considers that could be in a child's "best interest" is ridiculous.
So this is good news. I am glad but as I said on Facebook, I am cautiously optimistic. You can follow me there. You probably got her from a link from a YouTube video that I posted on Facebook. I have 10 subscribers but I think I am creating interesting enough content that my numbers should go up. I had 78 page views the first 24 hours. That is not viral, but respectable. Here's a screenshot:
So my last little tidbit for today before I head off to school is "make noodles in a rice cooker." Also known as "BE CREATIVE." Don't say you've tried everything. You have not. The world is filled with millions and millions of opportunities. Just give it a go, even if you think the light is red.
Thanks again for reading my blog and watching the videos. I have a lot of interesting and exciting projects I am working on. This is a hobby for now but I believe it is turning into something more. I can feel it.
