I tried, I changed, but still am getting divorced!

uh oh!!! I meant BobbiJ!!! So sorry!!! I type fast sometimes!

just saying Rugby sent me a text saying good morning and that it was nice talking to me last night. I replied with good morning and said I was heading out the door and that it was easy to talk to him and added a smiley face.

Then I talked to my SIL about getting together for lunch this week on Friday and she shared her dating story with me. Said that at first, she talked to Wonderfulman (divorced with a daughter) about once per week, saw him maybe every other week at first and then once per week after that (because it was coordinating with the kids). Said she always had the boys with her when she wanted to talk to him and they would be sleeping with her in bed many nights. So she couldn't always get away to talk or it was too late when she could.

I just thought "oh! this might make sense for other people with school age kids who are dating" hint hint!

So got back just now from a playgroup that I used to go to but stopped. Just 2 moms. I texted ahead of time that I was feeling shy and didn't want to talk about the divorce yet. So we avoided it. It was great to see the toddlers all play with each other and although there was an elephant in the room at times, it mostly went fine. During this visit, I realized how I truly had transitioned into my single life. Because if I wanted to report on what I had been up to, it would sound like someone without kids...so I said a little but left out a lot. I focused on them and our babies mostly.
