But I know as soon as it's over my stomach will be in knots wondering if we're going to dinner and what's happening next.
What would you do as a Mom under those circumstances? The dinner is to celebrate D's graduation, right? What would your Mom hat tell ya?
We're also supposed to meet for lunch tomorrow, just the two of us.
Great! This is a great opportunity to dress up as sexy MDU with new perfume.
At some point that will have to come to a head.
You've got to find a way to quiet down the impatient voice in your head. It is all impatience.
I can't imagine H will want to stay at his Dad's/Stepmom's forever so either he'll ask to move back home (and I'll put my conditions out there, i.e., full transparency plan) or he'll start making plans for an apartment which will be a pretty clear sign that things are headed toward D.
Pure speculation and stinkin' thinkin'. Stop it. Where's your rubber band?!
And really, in the grand scheme of things what's another 2-3 months?
You're tripping up with this illusive deadline. Wow. Why 2 months or 3 months? Remove the so-called deadline. Then you'll be truly free and I suspect it will relieve you of the internal impatience & anxiety. It is all on you. See how this self-imposed "deadline" of yours is tripping you up mentally and emotionally?
