All I Wanna Do Is..Get A Little Closer #12

[Georgiabelle]

Aw, thanks everyone (Job, MB, and Lou). I love it when you chime in on my thread. I threw up on Heavy D's thread which was probably rude of me, so now I will update on my own thread.

AC fixed. Yay! (It hotter than a mo here. Some days it's like sitting on the sun:). Toilet fixed. Can I get a woot, woot??? Kids have been having a good summer. S 12 is a little under the weather so I have to get him better before camp on Sunday. D10 keeps stealing my anti-aging cream and stilettos, and I know it sounds crazy, but S5 still struggles with pooping in the potty. Need to get this resolved ASAP so he can go to kindergarten in August.

X Mr. GB declined kids on Father's Day and went kayaking with his love goblin. He told me this morning that no one wished him a Happy Father's Day. I really struggled with this one as it felt weird to wish him a "Happy Father's Day" when he didn't want the kids. I wasn't sure what to do or say, so I said nothing. I understand compassion , although encouraging tooldum (that's a GB word) seems rather ridiculous. D10 had an epic breakdown about Father's Day because she kept saying that he didn't want them. I said, "your Dad loves you. I love you. Gosh, lots of people love you and I'm sorry you are sad." I couldn't with a clear conscious go into some lie filled diatribe about how he wanted to be with them but...blah, blah, blah. Enough about him. He did fix a zipper on one of my favorite shoes and I was grateful for that. Thanked him profusely as I adore those shoes.

Next up? Going away party for a friend tomorrow night with my best friend. Vacation later this month. 4th of July soiree with the little peeps at best friend's, girls' weekend with our daughters, etc. My Google calendar is jam packed in July.

I do have a bit of a funny to share. My other close friend is 37 1/2. I offered to set her up with one of my close friend's from college. He is cute, a great dad, successful, hilarious, and looks not a day over 25. D--n him!!!! My friend has never been married, lived with anyone, and had a very off (much more off) and on relationship over 8 years with her ex boyfriend. She is lovely, funny, loyal and sweet and I cannot help but chuckle at this. She doesn't want to date anyone 40 because she is only 37 1/2. She is in a difficult predicament. She wants to R with ex bf (they broke up a year ago) but feels she is in a rush to be in a R and have kids. Because she clearly grapples with getting older, I have decided to smile and nod. Heck, she even said Z was older-he was 38. I don't get this but then again, I'm not real hung up on numbers (says 42 yr old woman with a raging crush on her 35 yr old client). Yet, she thinks I should consider men in their 50s. I'm considering no dudes right now. Oh well. I will just be supportive.

Oh, one last thing. X Mr. GB said he thinks his boss is going thru a MLC. He's 45, is having multiple affairs, and bought a corvette. X Mr. GB said he was behaving "bizarrely." I smiled, nodded, and said have a good day.

I read along and post when I feel that incessant need to chime in...Hugs to you all:)
