My Lovely weekend...

Oct 02, 2006 14:36

Yet another wonderful weekend with John. I don't know WHY I expected it to be easier to leave him after I know him better...but I always thought it would be easier. It's not...it's a lot harder :0( It takes us longer and longer each time to say our goodbyes and we do the whole 'kiss, walk away, come back' 50 times thing. Seeing him leave the ( Read more... )

dating, j*

Oh how those boys don't realize that when they think they sound corny, they are melting our hearts :0)

oh, we know it. we just also know that if was say it's being corny, it just works a lot better . . .

LOL well thanks for letting me know.

Good to see a comment from ya, I was wondering if you even read ;0) How's the new house coming along?

turbopunk October 2 2006, 20:55:39 UTC

yeah, i read, i just don't comment unless i actually have something worthwhile to say

house is a house. boxes don't unpack themselves. i work about 70 to 80 hours a week, and brandy works about 45 to 60 hours a week, so it's still pretty much a pile of boxes . . .

holy cow ya'll work a lot. I know all about the moving thing, growing up military and then marrying military I know how hard it is to get those boxes unpacked :0)

Glad to know you do read...even though I'm sure you sometimes think 'damn, who is this girl?' I waver back and forth on if I'm the same person since high school or if people who knew me back then wonder who the hell I am now LOL

I'm glad you had a good time. :)

It's really nice of your family/friends to keep the kids for you while you spend time with John. Make sure you tell them how much you appreciate it. I've had experience with this in the past (when I was dating during Carmen's toddlerhood). They don't always say it, but they will have their opinions... try not to be late. I don't know how your family would react, but I know that when you have to rely on people for their help, sometimes they will lord that over your head (esp. if they don't agree with who you're seeing/what you're doing). I don't want to make you think I am being down on you, just want you to be aware of the possibilities. Dating is hard when you're a mom. :hugs:

oh, sorry I should've clarified...I wasn't late for what time I told my family (this weekend my brother watched them for me) just what time I wanted to be out ;0)

Saturday morning they knew that I was coming over after I got out of bed but that it wouldn't be until at least 12 or so that I'd be waking up (because everytime I stay with friends we stay up BS'ing all night lol) and then Sunday I had to be there by 3:00 so I was still on time and ahead of schedule. I definately don't wanna take advantage of my friends or family when they are helping me so much :0)

It's definately harder dating as a single mom, there are SO many things to consider and plan around that it does make being sponateous a little harder...I guess it helps that John is about 1.5 hours away ;0) We can't really be spontaneous any way :D

I didn't enjoy dating much as a single mom. It was a lot of stress and I didn't like having to rely on people to watch Carmen so I could have a social life either (esp. not when they were so resentful).

I'm glad it looks like John is being accepted by your kids and friends/family. That is important. :)

I can imagine how hard it would make dating if that were the situation...even with a supportive 'cast' of friends and family, there can be a lot of stress trying to juggle everything. I was never impressed with dating anyhow LOL I can see me throwing in the towel til they are all old enough to babysit themselves and not have parties while I'm on dates LOL ( ... )
