Was that so hard???! I think not.

I was thinking of responding about working out the logistics w some light humor or charm but I didn't want to seem like I'm trying to extend the conversation- one of my 180's is to not be the one who texts last, as she got really good at not responding and always leaving me 'hanging'. Plus I'm sure we'll talk before next Thu about it.

PING...PING!! You got that right. Many LBS just want to grab an inch for a mile by trying to prolong convos, texts, emails, Snapchat, smoke signals...what not. A deadly mistake. Leave it on a positive note and STFU.

So I guess.... I met a goal today- waited until she contacted me, responded w brief warmth and distance.

Baby steps right?

Starting with stopping thinking like a hothead...and becoming more supportive when it comes to the kiddos.
