One month down, zero casualties

[Raine]

snodderly, it so true about the leaving his stuff as is. S2 got into H's Father's Day cards and I also noticed a bottle of vitamins that were out, so I put the cards and the vitamins on a high book shelf. He asked me that night if I had moved stuff in his room lol. I said yes and told him why. So apparently there is some organized chaos going on. He is joking around a lot more. Lots of boy humor and he loves that I laugh at him. He had some pretty good ones actually.

Hey Linda you made it to the end of the line! I think you are doing great too! The baby is doing fine with the heat. We stay in and keep it cool and head outside after dinner. I love summer nights. No summer loving, but I'll take playing in the park. And no that is not the next best thing--not even close. Ha!

Nero, I have tried to have it all, a marriage, a family, a career. Having someone in the side is in direction opposition to having it all in my mind. Keep hanging in there! Thank so much for your posts

T^2, yay! I gotcha to spew your coffee! What do I win? There has to be a chart with stickers at least. The scientific observation is the way to go for me too. Anything to keep my emotions out of it.

uR if you have any microwave recipes for this, I am all ears! If anything I'd like to stick his phone in there. Maybe you could make it a nice burial suit after it has been properly nuked.

Hey Mr AJ, to tell you the truth I think I'm just trying to look for any expectation or explaination to keep me ahead of the curve. Already this amount of "connecting" is throwing me off. I think my expectations lean negative. To go from filling out paperwork to meet with a lawyer, to "temporary" move in, to "dating" or rather going to a dating event together, to talks about things 4 months and 12 months from now, all in a months time...things are moving in a fast way for me. I keep getting surprised.

Yes it is so crazy how he acts! His patience is nil and my patience is out of control. I think that's good for him. For example he'll tell me about being ticked at a guy behind him for honking him at a stop sign and him yelling and cussing through the rear view mirror. My reply, "oh man you know what would have been great...just get out of your car, totally calm and be like, 'did you need something? Sorry I thought you needed some help or something. Everything okay?'" At least H was smiling after that. But seriously! So not worth getting upset about the first time, let alone when you repeat the story.

Btw, I did get him some "youthful/teenagery" cologne. Hah!
