Had a mini vacation with the best friend last week. We had a blast at the beach. Weather was gorgeous. Water was spectacular. Sand was divine. Food and drinks delish. We had an epic playlist of songs. Coming back gave me a case of the sads...
School starts next week. There is nothing like sending the kids back to school when it's a hundred degrees outside. 2 middle schoolers and s6 will be in 1st grade. D has been at the lake for 2weeks with ex-ILs and I am soooooo ready to have her back. S13 at beach with ex-BIL and is having a blast. Taking D and s6 to dinner tonight and s6 wants another pompadour-so off to the salon. It has been a great summer that has gone by way too fast (except that it's still really here).
You know I try to be honest with myself and everyone here. I had a couple of cocktails (large ones at that) and sent ex MR GB a text checking on s6. He was engaging and I said, "I do miss chatting with you sometimes." He said, "You've had cocktails. And I miss chatting with you too." That was all. Nothing big.
And while I am very, very, very cautious....I kinda like this new guy. He isn't pushy. No pressure although he has been rather clear without being overbearing that he really likes me and wants to give this a shot. His BIL is a very, very famous musician (my ex bf's was too-kinda funny to me) and he invited me to an event in a couple of months. He said, "I understand you can't say for sure and I am just tossing it out there." He is smart, funny, cute, attentive and very devoted to his daughter. However, he really got me yesterday when he offered to come mow my lawn and paint the kitchen. Sigh. This is the way to win me over:) I kid. We will see what happens. No rush and I said everything has to be slow.
That's what I got. My brother and niece are coming up soon and it will be fun to catch up. I frequently remind myself that while life has served me a crap sandwich now and then, I have so much to be grateful for in this world. I think the universe is talking to me right now so I am trying to keep an open mind and listen.
Hugs and positive thoughts to you all. xoxo
