down with bears


So, my new guy broke up with me. We were getting along great it seemed, but guess I'm not what he is looking for. Wish I'd seen that coming! lol. I really can't complain too much, considering I've kicked a few guys to the curb myself. Figure if I am gonna dish it out, I need to be able to take it as well.

Not gonna lie, this one hurt quite a bit. He was SO wonderful, caring, affectionate, and said wonderful things to me. However, I've always been leery of people who are too easy and free with their words and this definitely proves it true, I'm sorry to say. I'm a bit bruised, angry, and generally not happy about the energy I expended on him, so doubt I'm gonna be ready to jump right in to that situation again easily.

I've been texting back and forth with Navy but haven't seen him in over a month. Not really planning on going down that road again.

Big news on the home front-- I'm giving up the house and moving into an apartment. The house is draining all my finances, energy, care and concern but leaving no room in the budget for food or other necessities. I'm looking forward to simplifying my life and letting go of all the things that bind me. :)

    sorry to hear it didn't work out =( I know you really liked him.
    I am happy that you are simplifying your life and that you are feeling good doing it. I am proud of you, that must have been hard to do. It is a smart thing to do, too.
    Big hugs to you. Enjoy your new freedom and simplification of your life...you deserve it!

    Thanks, Tam. Well, I'm diving back in the dating pool but I will be more cautious. Maybe I'll stick to dating several at once casually vs. limiting myself to one seriously for awhile :)

Empty Arms

It was a rough weekend. I was feeling pretty blue to begin with--grieving the loss of my little family which has shattered to pieces, leaving just me and my son under one roof. Dunno what precipitated that pity party, but it was going on since Thursday. Friday, Son's father didn't call, text, or come to pick him up. Son was not inclined to make the effort either. I guess he figures that if his father wants him, he'd initiate. Saturday morning was particularly rough because Son had Saturday School---kind of like detention on Saturday, for being tardy to class after PE. Moving fast is not his strong suit ever. Plus, he doesn't wake up and get going easily either. Basically, Saturday was filled with Son's fussing, homework, tears, slamming of doors,and lot's of I-hate-you's. Yeah, pretty miserable all the way around. I think maybe it was a reaction to how he feels about what's happening with his dad. OR not happening. It culminated in Son sobbing in hi

Keystone Cops R US

Okay, we just did a Keystone Cops routine . I went in, puppies ran out. English bulldog from next door chased puppies around the yard. I chased English bulldog who was chasing the puppies around the yard, into my house where I chased them all aroun d again until they all ran back outside. Got puppies back in and English bulldog out. Opened the door to call my son in, and they were off!!!!! Did it all again, but this time, the neighbor lady and her daughter chased the bulldog who was chasing the puppies and I chased her and her daughter who were chasing the puppies, back into my house again. Whew, I'm tired!

X's birthday, X in law birthdays... what should I do

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a question for you all. My X's mother's birthday just passed. His father's birthday is in a week or so and his birthday a bit after. I thought about having the kids call their Oma (grandma) to wish happy birthday but opted not to. I think he should be responsible for that. What do I do about this and/or his upcoming birthday? Do I have the kids do something? He didn't bother for me last year when we were separated..... Ideas anyone?
