Helen has a Hey Day!

Helen was raised in a poor black family on a farm in West Tennessee. She is now living the life of a rock star! She's dating a world class athlete ~ shall we call him Pat? He's really quite a stud and an Olympian, so she thinks..,! He brings Helen flowers and makes her feel like a queen! She LOVES this after her x hubby dashed off with the, what he thinks is the trophy wife! The trophy wife does have quite an, shall we say, "interesting background" (we'll go into that further later), but Helen is just happy to be rid of Dick! It's too bad they eloped before the children got to know her ~ they might've liked her had the circumstances involving her arrival into their lives been different! The life of a rock star is sooooo much more fun than the life of a battery operated Stepford wife! Today was a day like no other...drama, drama, drama...between Helen, her x and his new bride. Why can't they all just get along, she often wonders! Some x hubbys, she hears, are actually nice and appreciate what their x-wives do for their children! Something she doubts she'll ever see from her x, who has the little Napolean complex and the world centers around him. Maybe Helen shouldn't have copied him on the text she received from a close friend disclosing gossip he'd heard about the new bride, but it's so hard to think before you do every action! Next thing he's talking about attorneys, slander... isn't there such a thing as freedom of speech? Is it so bad to say she had the reputation of being a "white trash hoar"? Helen receives a call from what's her name new bride, who just thinks Helen is the rich snob who lives off of Daddy. Well, her prize is the one who took Helen to the cleaners and pays more for his oceanfront condo than he pays in child support for his four children! It's off to do carpools in a few. Helen just want's to get a break! There's a movie she's heard about called the Cracker Factory, where the Mom checks into a mental hospital just to get a break! She can totally relate, but that's in another chapter! It's a beautiful day in LaLa!
