Good news! Food was saved! The fridge and freezer must have stayed cold, thank God. What a relief!
What a good, very filled weekend. I did chaperone the dance and it was actually a lot of fun. The dance was beautiful, the girls were beautiful although dressed for a prom rather than an 8th grade dance..... just a glimpse of what I have to look forward too...... My D was at my friends house sleeping over so we went out to the local bar and immediately some guy started talking to us. He was funny and cute as heck, up from south Carolina for a party. We actually hung out with him all night. He is married with a baby, showing us pics, all innocent and fun. The rest of the weekend was spent with friends. D8 had a birthday party at her boy crush's house. I threw a BBQ for friends and their kids and it was a blast. I felt happy. That's what drives me. Spending time with the ones I love, hanging out with friends, seeing the kids happy and playing. That fills my heart big time. I really can only imagine a partner who can share I that.
Promised not to bring it up, but it may be a good thing. I think my feelings may fading towards you know who. I do realize I know so much much more about his life and his life with his GF due to the mutual friend sitch. Most people don't know that much about their ex boyfriends. I know his head is shoved so far her a$$. I get feelings towards it, but it's not the missing him sort of feelings. It's the WTF? You can do ALL of that for her, but you couldn't drive out here once in a blue moon?" sort of feelings. I used to think if I saw him again, we would look at eachother and it would be that instant connection again. Now, eh, I don't think I am so attracted after all I know. I may see him again, and I think it will be fine.
JksD,
Thank you. Even though I am "young", I've had to grow up fast, not only because of the divorced with a newborn thing, but life before that was rough. I've ben on my own for so long, it's really the only way I know how to function. And, let me tell you, I was such a mess for a good 2 years from bomb drop. Your strength is above and beyond what mine was at your stage.
We are all strong though, we live to tell the story:)
