Yea, I know it's Sunday, but I won't be able to blog tomorrow so I am pre-blogging today. Going college visiting with the entire clan.

I think I am more excited than anybody. I remember looking at colleges when I was getting ready to go and seeing it as such a huge 'wow I can do anything moment.'

I was 16 when I started my senior year in high school and had just started liking boys. (yea, I know I was a late bloomer) anyway, I remember when one of the colleges came to my school to talk to students and much to my Headmaster's (i.e., the principal, I went to a private school) dismay the only question I asked this guy was "So what's the male to female ratio?"

My son however bloomed much earlier. I remember when I was teaching college courses in Cleveland at this college that had just gone from being all girl to co-ed. I took my boys there with me one day because I had to do something. Boomy was about 10 and the oldest 13. There were 20 women there for every guy. The oldest asked me why and I explained. That's when he turned to his brother and said, "this is where I'm going to school"

Anyhow, this is a big mom, family moment for me and I intend on enjoying every moment of it. Not looking forward to the drive. You know me and travel. But I am going to buck up and take it like a grown woman. I'm telling you if I were really wealthy – I means with million and millions – I'd be just like Howard Hughes. I'd have a compound and a doctor on staff and no one except family would ever see me again. I am a straight up wanna-be agoraphobic.

Funny how life makes you do the right thing sometimes even when it feels all wrong to you. I would have such a restricted life if my profession did not require that exact opposite.

It's cold where we are going – gotta pull out the winter gear. Check you guys later.

Peace.

Last taping day this week then I going home. Nothing like a little away time. And to answer the question posed: what I do on Divorce Court is resolve a specific financial or property issue. That's all. If a couple has this one particular thing they want to get cleared up quickly they agree to come before me and the thing I talk about at the end is all I do.

Hope you are all well. Has anyone heard from Jan?

Check out the photo gallery for some new pictures posted from Birmingham. Check out Ravis and me!

Might not get to post Monday or Tuesday. Mad traveling. We'll see.

Take care.

You know, I ususally think I have seen it all but I had a coulpe so bad yesterday I just had to tell them I couldn't help, blessed their children and left.

Having fun though. Hurt my jaw so I can't talk in between shows because talking irritates it. I save all my big mouth moves for game time. AS my husband always says "You have to be able to play hurt."

But it's really teaching me something. I talk A LOT. and it is hard to stop. I tried yesterday to only talk a little but I am like an alcoholic. You know: One drink is too many then 20 is not enough. If I start. I start. So your girl is on strict lockdown between shows.

It's hilarious. Did talk to mom this morning though. She has full rights to everything!

Hope all of you who are under the waether get on top of it today!!

Peace. . . . and silence

New studio. New set. That's fun. Hope you guys are well. Hope to have more time tomorrow.

Getting ready to start taping the new season of Divorce Court that will begin airing in the fall of this year. Off to LA and back to work. Very glad about that!

Still working on some new stuff, I'll begin pursuing that this week as well.

Again I thank you for all of your support. I had mom on speed dial these last three days. It's one of those things mom is good at (my particular issue) The only thing she loves more than getting a call from one of her girls is being able to help them.

We haven't solved anything yet but we avoided a crisis and we got my head right about the rest of it.

I am putting it on my emotional shelf for the next couple weeks (I will be out of town more than in). Pull it back out when I get home.

I have a list of things I want to blog about. A lady asked what to do about a daughter in law who doesn't like her own kid because it is a he and not a she. Heart breaker. Haiti – best place to donate for long term good. I'm trying to figure that out.

Your boy, Boomy has been offering comic relief through out. His antics are funnier now because E is taking the lead.

I too have gotten my sense of humor back. The other day Me, 17 and The Boom were in the kitchen and 17 asked me what's wrong. (My angst, it appears, had breached the perimeters) I can mask that from everyone but Mom and 17 – he is very perceptive and tuned into my moods. So anyway when he asked what was wrong with me I said:

"I am not at all sure that my children love me with sufficient fervor and intensity and I'm upset about it." Even Boomy smiled at that one.

As I am looking at this it doesn't sound funny but we have a running joke in this house about the scope and gravity of my love for them. Sometimes I walk into their rooms with a very serious look on my face grab them and say stuff like. "If you truly knew the extent and depth of my love for you, you would implode under the sheer weight of it." Or I come in and announce with great fanfare "You people are the BEST thing I've ever done!" Then walk out.

They roll their eyes. Make comments about how weird I am. They also remind me that while it's okay to do that when we're alone that I should NEVER do that in front of their friends.

My response "I will take that under consideration by I make you no promises. My love for you is a large and wild thing that cannot always be controlled" They roll their eyes some more.

Its odd and over the top and is not immediately appreciated – but I believe that kind of thing seeps through that thick rough blanket of teenaginess and rests in their soul. And even if it doesn't I sure do enjoy the hell out of it.

Love is a wonderful thing.
