Liam's oldest daughter is making her first communion tomorrow. I have opted out, sadly, because his daughters' mother will be there, and I have both my kids this weekend, and I'm afraid it might turn into a situation that would have me seeing the inside of a hospital in one way or another.

He held a picnic in honor of this accomplishment today, though, and it was great fun for Zoe and Jacob. And I think for everyone else who was there. I hadn't been to South Park since I was in high school, I think.

I came home tired, the kids came home passed out.

I'm a little perplexed at how all of Liam's friends spoke freely of his ex in front of me though... I can only imagine that he's told them that I know all about it, and that I'm cool with it. But it was not just a brief bitchfest; the evening was littered with knocks on his ex, after some of her relatives who attended left. It just didn't stop.

I'm glad Liam has support behind him in friends and family... and it has been there long before I came along. And I don't disagree that his ex is deserving of such ridicule, especially since most of the people in attendance were friends with her before becoming friends with Liam. It just seemed like a strange time to revisit the past, and I'm not so keen on hearing the same stories over and over.

Part of me wants Liam to get past all this, part of me is worried about my own court date Monday. Part of me is glued to my own problems and hearing so much about Liam's glitches is a constant reminder that there may be no light at the end of my tunnel.

The rest of me is going to get my ass to bed so I can CHEER ON THE PENS tomorrow!!!!
