Generally, I never like to say never again, but these are special cases.

--  I don't think I'll ever have another child. I couldn't take care of the first one I had. Besides, I doubt there's anyone out there who can deal with me long enough to even start thinking about having a child with me. If I can't give a child what I didn't have, I don't ( Read more... )

Maggie's List

1. Maggie is an executive secretary working for NCIS in Virginia. She likes the work and her co-workers very much, partly because it does afford her a certain degree of flexibility.

2. Maggie was an abused child. Her mother died of an infection right after she was born, leaving behind a ( Read more... )

Reply to this post with anything you'd like and I'll tell you why I friended you and two things I love about how you play your muse. The only catch? You have to repost this as well.

I just needed the weekend to get myself together and then I spent Monday with some of my old shipmates, making the usual Memorial Day rounds around the Washington/Arlington area. That took up the better part of the day and it actually helped me to put Kate's death in perspective. It was an awful ( Read more... )

I did something I'd never let myself do before.

I took off from work on Friday, that Friday before Memorial Day.

Kate had just died and I was missing her and thinking about my daughter.

I wasn't proud about not having the guts to go to work and face everyone. I knew I wasn't the only one who was mourning for Kate and I really should have been with ( Read more... )
