Kevin... Not sure if I ever posted to you before, but...
Do something...
Go back and re-read your posts AS IF you are an adult female. Do you SOUND like someone interesting to be around, is confident, a decision maker, a protector, etc...??? No, you sound like a train wreck!
Now, we ALL sound like train wreck's at some point, and I do realize this is a place to share/journal/complain, etc... BUT, at some point, you'll WANT to be a man WOMEN want!
So, if I get this right, you stayed at "the house" with the kids for the weekend, while W is away with OM (?), do some great things by engaging with your kids, and then INVITE OTHER WOMEN (no matter how good of friends they are) over WHILE you're with the kids, and then have too much to drink? And, you KNEW the in-laws would be dropping back off the kids? Wow.
Save the WOMEN FRIENDS AND DRINKING for times without the kids.
Seriously.
Take that new job (OK, NOT PERFECT, BUT EMPLOYMENT), and do the best damn job of it you can! SHOW your employers how GOOD YOU ARE! Who knows? Maybe there are other, better things you can do there? (MAYBE NOT SPEND THEIR TIME ON DB.COM?) In your free time, pursue what it is you DREAM of doing!
Take your down time, and better yourself through exercise, relaxation, social activities, church, etc...
I'm here to tell you, as a female, #1 - Be a man. #2 - Be a father. #3 - Probably not a good idea to mix the being a SINGLE/BACHELOR man lifestyle with being a father.
You can do this! REally!

The average woman would rather have beauty than brains, because the average man can see better than he can think.
