Back at it!

Home's feeling good these days. I do believe my men missed me. I'm not going to lie that feels good. Once my youngest told me "Things are better when you are here" Which I don't doubt. Big E is more prone to say "not my problem" than I am. But the little one was young when he said it - 9 or so - and I had just started leaving for Divorce Court on a regular basis. He also said the following (which I still tease him about to this day):

Divorce Court had just put my picture up on its web site. I had a lot of make up on because that's how they do things. I showed it to little man trying to make him feel a part of what I was doing while I was "away" so he wouldn't feel so abandoned. He looked at it and without skipping a beat said: "I think you look like a clown and I hope you lose your job."

My husband and I fell out laughing. That's what I get for trying to be an all new- age touchy feely mom. I got smacked in the face with a healthy dose of reality. That's one of the reasons I am so found of the little one even though he causes a lot of commotion. Cuurently his grades are doing a magnificent swan dive into the depths of the D zone (but that's a story for another day) But that boy is all natural and unadulterated. He's is who he is and he doesn't pretend. You have never got to wonder what he thinks. Either he'll tell you straight out or (and this is more likely the case) he hasn't thought about it at all.

Gotta love'em cause you can't put them out.

Welcome!

As you see from my profile I'm the Judge on Divorce Court. Yea, I know, but it a job that pays me well for that which I would otherwise do for free. I love to talk. I love hearing the nonsense people get into and I love sharing my opinion with repsect to that nonsense. I live in the midst of a fair amount of my own nonsense, as do we all ,and I like keeping track of it and how I feel about those I live with. I have posted a lot on MySpace but I want to spread out a bit. I am technically challenged but I have teenaged sons so I'll get help. I'm just testing this thing out. If it's too much work I'm quitting.

My husband made dinner tonight. That's 9/10ths of a miracle. (it would have been a full miracle had it tasted a bit better.) But I am not complaining. I've been on the road for a week but that ususally doesn't stop Big Man (my husband) Mr. 13 and Mr. 16 (I think those names speak for themselves) ask me to cook anyway. It was a real leap of love for Big Man to get in the kitchen. All things domestic disturb him.

So sister got a job and a meal. It's a good night.

I'm Home

And I'm tired. I think I'm like all cotton shirts. I don't travel well. By the time I get home I look like I've been crammed in something and jostled around a bit. Wrinkles don't fall out like they used to when I was young and made of polyester.

Anyway the conference was good. A little long. I smiled and shook hands for 10 hours. But I met some great people. Don't forget the live chat. It is my hope that by then my brain will have smoothed out enough for me to think.

Peace.

Stuff and More Stuff

Hello everybody,

I am in Santa Barabra for a women's conference and I am staying with a friend of mine. Her house looks over the Pacific. She and I are both short, impatient and talk a lot. We are having big fun.

Boomy (Mr. 13) called to day and said (I kid you not) Is my grade in math really that bad? I said: "How would I know? I'm out of town." I mean really. Then he says"Dad said it was and he won't let me have a sleep over."

There was a pause while I gathered my thoughts and then I said. "And. . . "

That's when the excuses began. About the third excuse in I got tired and said "so what you want me to do is override your father's decision when I have no information and you have no real reason to do it ?" Then he went right back into more elaborate excuses. I didn't even let him finish. "whatever your father said, consider it having been said again."

This boy must think I'm crazy. Big E and I may not always agree but we are so on the same page with the school thing its ridiculous. He's been with us 13 years. It worries me that he hasn't figured that out yet.

Anyway, I am having fun here. I am going to give a talk about being a Gutsy Gal - that's my friends organization. We wrote the book Put it in Writing together.

Anyway, here are some answers to some of the questions I've gotten lately:

1. Someone apparently told one of our litigants that I was in a bad mood before the show. It was true too because I was stressing over the Big Man vs. Mr. 16 track team brouhaha. But then she wrote me on MySpace and said that I didn't seem mad when I was on the bench. That's my job!!! Whatever is bothering me ought not take the bench with me. It's a solo gig. But whatever the situation is I love my guests. Without them there is no show. Even when I fuss at them I do it because I want them to do better. As my mother used to say: "If I didn't love you I'd let you go out and act a fool."

2. Someone else asked me if the have to join the live chat right at 7:00 and I don't think so. I think you can hop in at any time. But I'll double check with Chuck.

3. Can't wait to get home. Been away a long time.

4. I'll tell you how my Gutsy Gals presentation goes.

You guys take it light. I intend to.


Peace.

Still Taping

Just hollering. Still taping. Then I'm off the the women's conference.

Don't forget about the live chat:

March 11 at 7:00 pm Eastern. Go to my website www.judgelynn.com and you should be able to navigate from there. We'll have something on the front page about it by then.

Don't leave me hanging out there in cyber space all by myself!

Peace.

Back in LA!

Hello People,

I am back in LA taping. I have been out here for a minute. I went to the Mo'nique radio show and had MORE FUN. That woman is wild. You wouldn't believe all of the trash we talked off the air!

I am doing the women's festival this weekend so I won't get to do any serious blogging for a minute. But I just wanted to touch base. You know, you should go on the divorcecourt.com website if you are looking to be in the show either with a divorce or for thr Before Your Vows thing. I love talking to engaged couples "with isssues"

Been talking about money and domestic violence a lot lately. When I get home I'd like to give you my ten cents worth on that stuff. Some of the things people say are really deep!!!

Have been refereering (?????Good grief I wish I could spell) a dispute between Big Man and Mr. 16 long distance. Talk about a pain. What's wrong with these people? They both know what they want but they have no clue how the other one feels so they can't get to a compromise because they are saying all of the wrong things to each other. Quess who gets to interpret?

A woman's work is never done even when she's at work. You'd think these people would be able to do at home not doing anything a little better.

Well. . . . It is what it is. Can't change it. Can't fire them.
Peace
