Maple Leaves and Dandilions

We went to the lawyer's office today. It's been a year
since we saw him last and he looks just as tired and over-
worked as he did then. We went to lunch at JJ's Fish House
before our appointment at 2pm. It's right next door to his
office. It was nice going out to lunch with Snookums, it
was almost like a date. We usually have both of the kids
with us. Kiki was with us, but she's still in the eat-
sleep-poop stage and doesn't bother you much if those
needs are met. I'm on my second day of living a proper
lifestyle (eating right, exercising). I just had a house
salad with grilled chicken. Snookums had this big, juicy
cheeseburger with french fries and a mug of their clam
chowder. I nearly died, but I just ate my salad. I swear I
thought I was eating maple leaves and dandilions. I told
myself I wouldn't keep myself from having anything I
wanted, but I don't think I have the strenght to moderate
chocolate or ice cream, so it's just best that I stay away
from them for the time being. At least until my will-power
is stronger.

Anyway, Mr. Franz helped us through the paperwork and he
made it look so simple, but then he does do it for a
living. He says we shouldn't expect the state to do much
even with my step-father incarcerated. We'll have to wait
until he gets out, gets established, and finds someone who
will give him a chance and hire him. I'm sure he'll find a
dead-end job eventually. Then the state will take half of
what he makes and give it to Annie. I don't make the
rules, I just benefit from them.

I'm absolutely starving to death and it's not a good
feeling. I'm going to go munch on some carrots until
Snookums finishes feeding Kiki, then he's going to Subway
to get us something healthy to eat. When it comes to
healthy fast food, there isn't too many options other than
Subway. At this point I'd almost be happy with the maple
leaves and dandilion salad again.
