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

Just checking in--time flies when you are...busy...whether or not it is fun.

So I really do regret saying those things about women in their 20s versus 30s. What was I thinking? GM and Awest and I think even Gatsby are younger than me, in their late 20s or 30.And you ladies are very mature! And I am only 34!! So what makes me so much more mature than a 29 year old? So that was just wrong of me. I don't know why it makes me so mad that the older men go so young when wanting to date.

But I think it has to do with vanity-- I mean I think that is what makes me mad. I think maybe the men who go for the 20 year age difference don't want to admit they are aging so it goes back to compensation. Or they don't realize they have aged and want to be Peter Pan. And when I see terrific women aging well who are passed up, it really ires me. By aging well I mean they work out, are in good health, style their hair, don't wear too much make up, dress stylish but not like a teenager or something...


Flowmom I am just tickled pink for you that you are enjoying an almost beau! Thanks for checking in on me--S is just gradually but quickly turning into a little boy. His independence is so pronounced already! I don't walk around saying "NO. NO. No" (yet) but instead I say "that's HOT!" or "uh-oh, owies!" or " No- YUCKY!" The mimicking is so fun, too!

BTW my student with Autism has been cruising along pretty well this week. I have read his social stories to the whole class (like it was just another read-aloud-- I don't say this is Ricky's special book) and they are interested because the content applies to them as well.
