Mish: TAG stands for Talented and Gifted. So I will spend 2/3 of my time with English Language Learners (ELL/ESL), and 1/3 with Talented and Gifted (TAG). Education is great, we have acronyms for everything!
OK am I terrible....I got on Match.com! I thought a long time about what John said, am I in, or out?
Well, I am not ALL in, and I am not ALL out. But I guess being a little bit in is like a little bit pregnant...
Looking at the facts of my situation, I know I need to be out. There is a lot of fear, that my kids will be hurt, they already are hurt. That it will be scary to tell people I am separated/divorced. I have started 'coming out' slowly to family and a few friends, I chose to put Dan's new house address on all of Nathan and Sydney's school forms. Last year I just put my address.
So anyway I signed up on match but haven't joined (paid any $). I just wanted to browse the profiles. For whatever reason I find it comforting to see guys who seem normal (!), or at least like me, even if that isn't normal!
So although I am a long long way from dating anyone, I think it is good for me to see that there are real, local men out there who could be decent guys...
On an unrelated note, Dan picked up the kids last night to go camping. He showed up at 6:40 and the campsite is an hour from here. I had the kids' bag packed and sleeping bags out on the sidewalk so he didn't need to come in.
He came in anyway, was searching garage for his tackle box. No clue where it is and I didn't help him look. He was very short and pissy. Clearly very stressed about packing/loading up for the trip by himself.
Anyway he texted me twice at 11:30. First one 'sorry for the misdirected anger, was very stressed, tense and painful' I assume b/c of his separated shoulder and loading up camping gear himself.
Then another one 'tent finally up - kids fell asleep while I was still building it - they looked kinda cut - D had to pee outside with my help goodnight'
This is what wears me out. That he says he cannot deal with me anymore then he sends me messages like that. So obv he is thinking of me at 11:30 at night, yet he can't stand me!
OK gotta go, lots of work to do today. Yard work time!
goodnight'
